The Golf Blog says: Keegan Bradley’s youthful energy gave Phil Mickelson just the spark that he needed to improve his losing Ryder Cup record. Keegan and Phil who play practice rounds together throughout the year came up real big for Team USA, beating Rory McIlroy/Graeme McDowell in fourball and Sergio Garcia/Luke Donald in foursomes. Garcia and Donald had not lost in foursomes in the Ryder Cup, ever.


Meanwhile, Tiger Woods struggled. He duck hooked his first driver almost out into the concession stands. He and playing partner Steve Stricker lost the morning match and are 2-down in their afternoon match.

The US lead 4-2, with 2 matches left.
