A Cinderella story...

What a magical start to the Ryder Cup. Not one, but TWO American teams lose by five in the opening round of four-ball.

Jim Furyk and David Toms go down 5 and 3, while Chad Campbell and DL3 drop one 5 and 4. Just like that, the Euros are up 3.5 to 0.5.

The afternoon session is about halfway done, and the Euros are leading two matches and tied in another. Fred Funk and DL3 are just imploding (down 4 after 11).

Maybe if this is almost out of reach I can scalp a ticket for Sunday at a reasonable price.

UPDATE: The final tally for Friday; Eurotrash 6.5, USA 1.5

I know I've mentioned this before, but on the heels of the World Cup of Hockey and the Olympic basketball fiasco, these are not exactly the best of times for American men's teams on the world stage.
