:00:40. > :00:50.They love it! CHEERING
:00:50. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :01:00.Oh, no! What a blow. What a blow. That will do very nicely. Oh, in
:01:01. > :01:08.your life, have you ever seen one like that? Look at these two. Give
:01:08. > :01:16.me some more. Oh, another one, another one, another one! Look at
:01:16. > :01:25.it. Oh, my goodness. And that is shot of the day.
:01:25. > :01:29.Hello again on another sun drenched day at the Medinah country club on
:01:29. > :01:33.the outskirts of Chicago. What a stage for the most thrilling of
:01:33. > :01:38.sporting contests, the Ryder Cup, a contest that Europe has dominated
:01:38. > :01:48.over the last 20 years. On the opening day of this year's contest,
:01:48. > :01:56.
:01:56. > :02:02.unquestionably the dominant force their performances. Europe and
:02:02. > :02:05.their captain thankful for a stunning debut for Nicolas
:02:06. > :02:13.Colsaerts for scrambling a match. think that last point was very
:02:13. > :02:18.important for us. To go 3-1 instead of three-and-a-half and half a
:02:18. > :02:22.point, that would have been a big blow for us. Now obviously we're
:02:22. > :02:27.trailing two points behind, but tomorrow we're playing for eight
:02:27. > :02:31.points and eights' see if we can catch up. Perhaps some blue sky
:02:31. > :02:38.thinking needed by captain Olazabel and the inspiration for that was
:02:38. > :02:43.written large for him early in the morning. He and his side hoping to
:02:43. > :02:49.recall the no quitting Seve spirit. The United States led after the
:02:49. > :02:53.opening day seven times since 1979 and have won the cup three times.
:02:53. > :02:57.Much depends on Saturday's matches. This was the look of the morning
:02:57. > :03:01.four sms. Both captains sent out their winning heavyweight
:03:01. > :03:04.partnerships early on. Watson and similarsome steam rollered the
:03:04. > :03:09.opposition on Friday facing Rose and Poulter who tweeted ahead of
:03:09. > :03:14.his team off, time for rock-and- roll promising pure passion. Two
:03:14. > :03:18.wins so far for Keagan Bradley and Phil Mickelson. Lee Westwood and
:03:18. > :03:24.Luke Donald tasked with declailing that runaway train. The unflappable
:03:24. > :03:28.Jason Dufner and Zac Johnson have notched up one victory. But can
:03:28. > :03:32.Nicolas Colsaerts continue his mesmerising form with Sergio Garcia.
:03:32. > :03:42.Deja vu in the last match out. The same pairings as the opening
:03:42. > :03:53.
:03:53. > :03:57.words were said in the European team room the night before. Some
:03:57. > :04:01.described it as a verbal lashing from captain Olazabel. Poulter did
:04:02. > :04:06.his best on the first tee, trying to blast it through the bell loing
:04:06. > :04:12.technique employed by Bubba Watson on Friday. That one sandy.
:04:12. > :04:16.Meanwhile masters' champion Bubba was getting up close and personal
:04:16. > :04:19.with some of the fans. After a brilliant approach from the sand by
:04:20. > :04:23.Justin Rose, Poulter was left doing the high fiveing on the first green
:04:23. > :04:30.as Europe went one up with that birdie. Rookie Keagan Bradley was
:04:30. > :04:34.the star on Friday. His company was again energising his nine time
:04:34. > :04:38.Ryder Cup partner Mickelson. Built an early lead over Westwood and
:04:38. > :04:42.Donald, exactly the start the US wanted from those two. It was worse
:04:42. > :04:47.at the second for Europe when Westwood, with this tee shot at the
:04:48. > :04:53.short second, found the water. Europe two down after two.
:04:53. > :04:58.Now a dizyingly brilliant start to his Ryder Cup career for Nicolas
:04:58. > :05:02.Colsaerts on Friday. The pressure was tough. This putt at the fourth
:05:02. > :05:06.leaving the Belgian and Garcia two down against Dufner and Johnson. In
:05:06. > :05:13.match four the recently crowned ulz tour chaun Brandt Snedeker was
:05:13. > :05:16.quick out of the blocks. This scintillating approach to the first
:05:16. > :05:26.flag would be converted by fellow captain's pick Furyk. That look the
:05:26. > :05:43.
:05:43. > :05:53.board as we pick up play. The US up change things, well hopefully from
:05:53. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :06:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:06:49. > :06:59.a European point of view. Match all on the plateau. Advantage USA.
:06:59. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:07:51. > :07:59.He's done it again! He loves it. He and Mickelson very formidable
:07:59. > :08:03.pairing. They've won five holes. Three birdies, Westwood and Donald
:08:03. > :08:13.have not returned a birdie and very few pars. Slightly manic, but
:08:13. > :08:46.
:08:46. > :08:56.here, are they Peter? Yes, they are. Europe go one up in the opening
:08:56. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :09:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:09:42. > :09:52.don't think he has much to be happy creepers. Ten holes played and
:09:52. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:30.Europeans just can't get a putt in dead. But it's further that it
:10:30. > :10:30.
:10:30. > :11:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:11:35. > :11:45.That's if you're a European good putting from yesterday
:11:45. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :11:55.continues. That might only be a in the left edge. But it's good
:11:55. > :12:00.enough. What a standard of play we're
:12:00. > :12:10.seeing in the four sms, amazing. In the old days, level par and you'd
:12:10. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:28.Oh, that's a stinker. Absolute stinker. What a pity after
:12:28. > :12:33.the good stuff. So easily done. Ball below your
:12:33. > :12:43.feet, pin on the right and just trying to feather it in there.
:12:43. > :13:20.
:13:20. > :13:30.Fingers crossed it didn't make the above him. Three yards of green to
:13:30. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :14:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:14:31. > :14:40.shot. They'll have that for a five. So there's still life in the last
:14:41. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:01.Oh, you beauty! Well, they deserved to win the hole. Looked as if they
:15:01. > :15:11.would win the hole after Americans went in. And so it was. So it came
:15:11. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:23.Phil Mickelson, their match, that should be over, but Ian Poulter is
:15:23. > :15:37.
:15:37. > :15:47.battling away at the head of the at the 13th. A dangerous par-three.
:15:47. > :15:47.
:15:47. > :17:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:17:08. > :17:18.Another two yards, and it was you believe it? It wouldn't going,
:17:18. > :17:28.would it? What a shot. What an absolutely incredible shot. An
:17:28. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:15.incredible result, really. He knew but they should just dropped one
:18:15. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :19:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:19:52. > :20:01.and Bradley. Some untidy stuff. May zip back from the 13th and hear
:20:01. > :20:06.Probably the two best days of my life. The most fun and exciting
:20:06. > :20:11.days I could ever have. Do you expect to play this afternoon?
:20:11. > :20:16.will wait and see what Davis Love says, but I would love to cheer on
:20:16. > :20:20.my team even if I don't. You are tough to drop. Phil has found a
:20:20. > :20:24.good partner with Keegan Bradley, and he has been a rock star. We did
:20:24. > :20:28.not quite have our game this morning, and we just couldn't quite
:20:28. > :20:33.get the momentum on our side. We kept pushing and trying as hard as
:20:33. > :20:36.we could but they kept coming up with great shots. Early on in the
:20:36. > :20:41.match when they established a lead from right from the start, it's
:20:41. > :20:46.difficult to come up back against a hot pairing. They got a bit of
:20:46. > :20:49.momentum yesterday and they started quick yesterday. We were six-under
:20:49. > :20:59.through 10 holes, and we didn't play well enough to put pressure on
:20:59. > :21:02.
:21:02. > :21:12.them but good golf is normally and Phil Mickelson. For 12 holes
:21:12. > :21:24.
:21:24. > :21:34.it? Europe still to work. Should have been three. -- Europe are
:21:34. > :21:34.
:21:34. > :22:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:22:35. > :22:45.striking. A hot streak on the green. Davis Love made sure there was a
:22:45. > :22:45.
:22:45. > :25:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:25:26. > :25:30.swing. They might make the Americans Part Justin Catia. If
:25:31. > :25:40.they had a little rush of blood they could go 6 P -- 60 buzz --
:25:41. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :26:23.they might make the Americans putt, Bradley and Phil Mickelson but the
:26:23. > :26:51.
:26:51. > :27:01.sky today. Unbelievable, isn't it, that the aeroplanes can put that up
:27:01. > :27:38.
:27:38. > :27:48.every day, including the practice the man of the moment yesterday.
:27:48. > :28:02.
:28:02. > :28:12.From one down, they are to down. only thing you shouldn't do with it.
:28:12. > :28:12.
:28:12. > :29:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:29:04. > :29:14.America has two bites of the cherry and can make a putt to win, or
:29:14. > :29:53.
:29:53. > :29:59.Justin Rose has to make it for the Rosey, two up with two to play.
:29:59. > :30:05.He's missed three or four putts. All missed on the right side, every
:30:05. > :30:15.single one. What a time to give them an
:30:15. > :30:19.
:30:19. > :30:25.It's so unpredictible. There's a lot of action yet to be played. Who
:30:25. > :30:27.will come out Vic tors -- victorious in this session of
:30:27. > :30:37.foursomes. Research tells us that the Americans have been stronger on
:30:37. > :30:38.
:30:38. > :31:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:31:33. > :31:43.the par threes. This week they've difficult to get the ball on the
:31:43. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:59.Oh, completely forgot to follow through.
:31:59. > :31:59.
:31:59. > :32:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:32:55. > :33:05.put the hammer down. A little rush both overread that one. Rosey, hit
:33:05. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:34.has struggled with the pace, even on the short ones. That one needed
:33:34. > :33:40.
:33:40. > :33:50.fantastic putts. In for a three. That right foot was off the ground.
:33:50. > :34:12.
:34:12. > :34:22.Going to the 18th Europe one up, so guaranteed half a point. They need
:34:22. > :34:34.
:34:34. > :34:38.could hear the click of that ball, fabulously played. Just what they
:34:38. > :34:48.needed. Can they get themselves back to one
:34:48. > :35:21.
:35:21. > :35:25.Yeah, screaming at it. It was a good call Sergio, very good.
:35:25. > :35:35.I think he felt like that came a little fast.
:35:35. > :35:35.
:35:36. > :35:39.I'm amazed how soft that 15th green It looks like it's sitting down.
:35:39. > :35:48.He's either licking his chops or he's a little concerned about this
:35:48. > :35:58.one. Oh, he's so good. Oh, it dug down
:35:58. > :36:32.
:36:32. > :36:35.again. Holes starting to run out on this game. Oh, that as -- that's a
:36:35. > :36:45.fabulous golf shot. They have an opportunity. The guys have got to
:36:45. > :36:56.
:36:57. > :37:06.said he got a bit of a bounce, which made a difference to this
:37:06. > :37:11.shot. That was an eight iron. Somebody shouted peach. Now that's
:37:11. > :37:21.the smart shot. A little outside what they really
:37:21. > :38:01.
:38:01. > :38:11.wanted. They wanted ten or 15 feet. and was confident with the line.
:38:11. > :38:19.
:38:19. > :38:24.And again, Europe shaves an edge. most notably on the 18th. Cot
:38:24. > :38:34.United States make a birdie and halve that match and gain ape vital
:38:34. > :38:34.
:38:34. > :39:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:39:15. > :39:21.valuable point for Europe to cancel out the drumming that Lee Westwood
:39:21. > :39:26.and Luke Donald got. Unfortunately the other two matchs are still two
:39:26. > :39:32.down on both of them. It would have been terrible to lose, they were
:39:32. > :39:35.two up with three to play. Just a chance for half a point. Terrific
:39:35. > :39:39.performance, particularly for Ian Poulter. How significant did you
:39:39. > :39:41.feel your match was right at the head of the field going out early
:39:41. > :39:45.head of the field going out early this morning? It was very
:39:45. > :39:50.significant. We got put out number one to bring some blue on the board.
:39:50. > :39:56.We did it early. They rallied straight back at us pretty hard. It
:39:56. > :40:01.wasn't pretty at times but we got one and then two up, which was fun.
:40:01. > :40:06.A little slip of concentration there on 16 let them back in. It
:40:06. > :40:11.was a well deserved point. It was getting twitchy 16 and 17? Yeah, it
:40:11. > :40:15.was. I put my partner under a bit of unnecessary pressure there at 17.
:40:15. > :40:22.I wanted to finish the match off there. 18 they hit it to 18, we
:40:22. > :40:25.dodged a bullet. There I wanted to finish off the match. On 16, that
:40:25. > :40:30.was the first putt I'd had since the eighth hole. I didn't have the
:40:30. > :40:34.speed of the greens or necessarily my eye in. It was a super quick
:40:34. > :40:38.putt. The man stepped up and did what he does best and holed the
:40:38. > :40:42.four footer. This is a partnership that works, four wins out of five
:40:42. > :40:48.in the Ryder Cup. What make it's work? Justin said it, we know not
:40:48. > :40:54.to say sorry. We're good mates. In four sms we've got an incredible
:40:54. > :41:04.record. I that I when we put each other in trouble, he gets us out of
:41:04. > :41:04.
:41:04. > :41:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:41:53. > :42:00.trouble and vice sersa. We have -- this green if two -- in two, you're
:42:00. > :42:10.pleased. It's a long par four. McDowell a putt to win the hole.
:42:10. > :42:10.
:42:11. > :42:16.What a moment to hole a putt. No. Nothing's gone right for McDowell.
:42:16. > :42:21.It just hasn't been one of those days. The wis KERS on the chin have
:42:21. > :42:28.gone grey since this morning. Perfect tee shot to get at the flag
:42:28. > :42:36.for Nicolas Colsaerts. He's had a singer.
:42:36. > :42:46.Just half a yard too far. Wonderful strike, a little unlucky.
:42:46. > :43:10.
:43:10. > :43:20.coming to the end of this third session. Hope springs eternal for
:43:20. > :43:52.
:43:52. > :43:59.Colsaerts, just went through the back of the green. Can he chip one
:43:59. > :44:09.in? The master chipper, has been in the past.
:44:09. > :44:18.
:44:18. > :44:28.And he is so again! Oh, you little -- one down, two to play.
:44:28. > :44:40.
:44:40. > :44:43.the fairway. McIlroy may have tweaked that too far left. Oh, hits
:44:43. > :44:53.the trees and comes back on the fairway.
:44:53. > :44:53.
:44:53. > :47:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:47:01. > :47:11.poor tee shot from Nicolas is a four. The Americans might take
:47:11. > :47:41.
:47:41. > :47:51.perfection. Thank you very much. Thank you for the game. A sad end
:47:51. > :47:54.
:47:54. > :48:00.after the little chip from Garcia. Colsaerts, perhaps being a bit
:48:00. > :48:06.brave with his tee shot -- a little bit of disappointment. It sends you
:48:06. > :48:16.in for lunch in a sad move rather than on top of the world. -- Asad
:48:16. > :48:21.
:48:21. > :48:31.of the cup. A brilliant three. -- at last a putt. Perhaps the
:48:31. > :48:42.

:48:52. > :49:30.

:50:02. > :50:36.
:50:36. > :50:45.McIlroy and Ian Poulter. That will 18th, one down, one to play -- he
:50:45. > :50:48.has not hit it. We have and have a hard match -- we have not had a
:50:48. > :50:54.match that has been hard yet, but they will need a birdie to do it,
:50:54. > :50:58.probably. It looks very much in the US favour. But you never know, they
:50:58. > :51:08.might squeeze a half at the last hole but they are dropping further
:51:08. > :51:47.
:51:47. > :51:57.gone a little bit off line. Into the bunker, but that might not be
:51:57. > :52:35.
:52:35. > :52:45.Beautiful shot. Good result, Ken. Very professionally played. Playing
:52:45. > :52:45.
:52:45. > :53:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:53:58. > :54:08.a slightly conservative approach, because it did. An opportunity
:54:08. > :54:30.
:54:30. > :54:34.given. Well, it has. Very generous. It was rather generous. 8-4 in
:54:34. > :54:44.favour of the US. Europe hoping for better things this afternoon in the
:54:44. > :54:52.
:54:52. > :54:57.form to turn around the deficit? They are a still 16 points to play
:54:57. > :55:00.for and we have to go out there and try and get some momentum. We have
:55:00. > :55:10.not had that in the last couple of sessions. We need to turn it around
:55:10. > :55:16.
:55:16. > :55:20.Question he needs to crank it up a bit more. We got the hairdryer
:55:20. > :55:24.treatment last night. We have got a big afternoon session ahead of us
:55:24. > :55:31.and we have to pick some points up. Was it a roasting last night?
:55:31. > :55:41.it was Fergie stuff. They hairdryer treatment, while it has worked for
:55:41. > :55:46.
:55:46. > :55:50.Ferdy before, but not yet for Jose How hard is it to motivate a team
:55:50. > :55:55.behind in the scoring? You don't have to motivate individuals. With
:55:55. > :55:59.Seve Ballesteros you didn't need to motivate people. Monty, Ian Woosnam,
:55:59. > :56:03.you did not need people to go out there to tell us to go and win the
:56:03. > :56:08.next match. We wanted to because we had the passion to play. I think
:56:08. > :56:13.these guys have the same. Everybody makes a big deal of this. What the
:56:13. > :56:17.captain is doing, he knows the facts, I have been there, and I
:56:17. > :56:21.know that everybody makes an assumption about what is going on
:56:21. > :56:28.when they see how you present things. It is tough. The bottom
:56:28. > :56:34.line is, unfortunately, I thought we came in with two oddly matched
:56:34. > :56:37.teams. I was saying Jim Furyk was the weakest, but basically have got
:56:38. > :56:43.12 playing well, at home, they have got the crowd, they are making
:56:43. > :56:49.putts. Europe, and we may only have half a dozen guys who are really on
:56:49. > :56:54.it. But you cannot take on the 12th, simple as that. Let's have a look
:56:54. > :57:04.at the fall ball pairing for this afternoon -- fourball pairings. No
:57:04. > :57:04.

:57:08. > :57:11.Steve Stricker coming out again. They have a good pairing with
:57:11. > :57:16.Garcia and Donald. They should be strong. This is a great one, Dufner
:57:17. > :57:20.and Johnson. But Rory and Ian Poulter have to do well. The
:57:20. > :57:25.important thing with the other two matches, when you are the underdogs,

:57:28. > :57:33.can get a half and the other get the big trees, that would be a
:57:33. > :57:38.great session. Let's get Jose Maria Olazbal's take. We need to win the
:57:38. > :57:42.session. That is all we need. Nothing more, nothing less. Will

:57:50. > :57:55.difference is around the greens. Our boys are not making the parts
:57:55. > :58:00.and it is true that some of them have not performed to our
:58:00. > :58:06.expectations -- making the putts. The afternoon did not start well

:58:29. > :58:33.Colsaerts and Paul Lawrie. But the Europeans would fight back in the
:58:33. > :58:38.match and from the bunker Colsaerts splashed this one close enough to
:58:38. > :58:43.level things up. Beautiful shot. At last, something to cheer for Sergio

:58:47. > :58:51.on the European courts with a sharp start at the first birdie. Stricker

:17:36. > :17:41.the victory? Mike Reed's! -- my reading of the parts. He hit some
:17:41. > :17:44.great shots. We had a good talk over lunch and he was his normal
:17:44. > :17:48.self- and was back down to earth and we got ready to go this
:17:48. > :17:53.afternoon and played some good so - - good golf. Half of the Major
:17:54. > :18:00.titles you won't between the two of you, so can you compare it with
:18:00. > :18:04.what is going on right now? This is more important right now. All we
:18:04. > :18:10.are playing for is the trophy, the team, the country. This is easily
:18:10. > :18:15.more important. This is something fun to do and this kind of pressure
:18:15. > :18:20.is tenfold than it is at a Major. We had a couple of chances to get
:18:20. > :18:26.back into the match and it didn't go away. Sometimes you just have to

:54:05. > :54:08.European team some pride and hope, more especially, and a lot of it
:54:08. > :54:13.due to the performance of Ian Poulter. How would you characterise
:54:13. > :54:18.that display today? Quite remarkable. He made a lot of putts
:54:18. > :54:24.and in clutch situations they went into the centre. He just sneaked
:54:24. > :54:34.the vital point, which was crucial. The tougher it., the better his
:54:34. > :54:36.
:54:36. > :54:40.His partner birdied the 13th and 14. Very tough one to win. But things
:54:40. > :54:43.hotted up after that. They knew they had to eke out this point. So
:54:43. > :54:48.difficult to read, straight down the slope, right in the centre of
:54:48. > :54:55.the hole. Can you believe how excited he got? He knows he is
:54:55. > :55:00.keeping his team in the match. Still not certain until I came to
:55:00. > :55:07.the 18th. And this, with about 40,000 people crowding around the
:55:07. > :55:17.18th, he loved it. Sheer obstinacy. And these matches, these things can
:55:17. > :55:27.
:55:27. > :55:31.Brilliant play from Ian Poulter. I Who he plays with, they become
:55:31. > :55:35.Starsky & Hutch. It must be very wearing for some of the European
:55:35. > :55:40.players with the level of red on the score boards. That in itself
:55:40. > :55:44.becomes a hardship for them to overcome. It's been that story
:55:44. > :55:48.since the moment they hit the first tee shot. There's been roars and
:55:48. > :55:53.cries. The Americans have had the edge. It's been tricky for the
:55:53. > :55:56.Europeans. They managed to claw back. A chink of light in the
:55:56. > :56:01.Donald, Garcia match. This from Luke Donald was a stellar approach
:56:01. > :56:06.at the short 17th particularly in response to what tiger had produced.
:56:06. > :56:11.Tiger had a gorgeous shot. The beauty of Luke Donald's, his was to
:56:11. > :56:15.the right of the hole, slightly more uphill. A marvellous shot. It
:56:15. > :56:18.cut over the water. Club selection very tricky. Two crackers. The last
:56:18. > :56:22.hour, great for Europeans, but obviously, particularly the morning
:56:22. > :56:27.and particularly from that pairing of Keagan Bradley and Phil
:56:27. > :56:32.Mickelson, once again, completely unbeatable. At times unplayable.
:56:32. > :56:36.It's been remarkable stuff. They've gelled together. Mickelson in his
:56:36. > :56:40.ninth Ryder Cup. Played in more Ryder Cups that anyone else. Time
:56:40. > :56:46.and again they came up with some magic. Once you get a run on this
:56:46. > :56:50.game, a golf course that suits Mickelson, they've looked
:56:50. > :56:55.unstoppable. Keagan Bradley has putted magnificently. These are
:56:55. > :56:58.tricky greens, big slopes, awkward pin positions. You have to admire

:57:01. > :57:05.last few Ryder Cups. He seems to have found someone bringing the
:57:05. > :57:09.best out in him. They got off to a terrific start. They've won the
:57:09. > :57:12.three matches they've played in. It's one of those weeks where
:57:12. > :57:16.everything goes right for you. When it's going right for your opponents,
:57:16. > :57:21.it make it's difficult for you. They have multiple victories, three
:57:21. > :57:25.so far and counting for the two of them. Nick faldo made the point
:57:25. > :57:30.about not enough of the European team being on form. Perhaps

:57:34. > :57:41.Ten players continued for Davis Love. That tells its own story. As

:58:00. > :58:08.America, there's 12 singles. They only have to win four-and-a-half
:58:08. > :58:12.points. I say only, remember '99 in brookline it happened. But the
:58:12. > :58:16.Americans are in prime position. Let me show you how to share this
:58:17. > :58:22.Let me show you how to share this with us: Radio 5 Live will be up
