Ryder Cup Orly?

The U.S. team surprised everybody in day one of the Ryder Cup by talking a 5 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead over the heavily-favored European team.

Nick Faldo's coaching of the Euros seemed uninspired to me but after all he was coaching, not playing. That's right, he wasn't playing, although you may not know it by reading the British press, who are happy to lay the blame on the skipper.

On Faldo's decision to bench Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood for this morning's match, the Sun wrote:

"It is a decision that beggars belief, a gamble that will either see Faldo emerge as an inspired leader - or a blithering idiot."
Maybe the European golfers should just go out and make some birdies.
