Ryder Cup Scoreboard

  STUDS DUDS HIDDEN FACTORS
DAY 1 Parnevik's two closing birdies stun Furyk and Lehman. Faxon's clutch putt for win at 18 makes up for miss at Oak Hill. Woods and O'Meara run out of gas in p.m., while Mickelson—great in practice—disappoints with a loss and a halve. Why did you allow it, Tom? Letting Seve play the four-ball matches first gets Euros off to a running start.
DAY 2 Bjorn, Clarke and Woosnam finally play, and come up big. Faldo sets Cup record for career points. Faxon doesn't make a birdie, again. Woods putts into lake on 17, but Mickelson's miss there in four-balls was bigger. Seve's subs didn't lose a match. When old reliables Couples and Love go 0-2, you know you're in trouble.
DAY 3 The Americans were good, but Johansson's win over Love and Rocca's over Woods put a dagger in U.S. hopes. If Leonard doesn't blow a 4-up lead, the Ryder Cup goes down to the wire. Woosnam runs singles record to 0-6-2. None of those who played in every session (Faldo, Montgomerie, Olazábal, Westwood, Woods) won in singles.
