Ryder Cup rookie Chris Riley sunk a clutch 5 footer on the last hole, to salvage a halve. The U.S. avoided the dreaded morning sweep. It’s 3 1/2 points for the European team to just a 1/2 point for the U.S. I’ve been on Chris’s case before, for missing key putts on 18 at the Buick and PGA. His putt today was pretty crucial, though. Well done. On to the afternoon alternate shot matches.
The big matchup: Darren Clark and Lee Westwood v. Phil and Tiger.
