Man - If Tiger and Furyk don't win the first match it will be a long day !
In the 2nd match Casey has been on fire lately, while JJ is a rookie and Cink may suprise.
The 3rd match, Toms has had an off year due to injury and Wetterich is a rookie, while Sergio is great in this type match and Jose is solid.
The Dimarco/Mickelson duo is a question here as is the Clarke/ Westwood pairing. Of course, Clarke is a huge fave there, but he has not played much due to his wifes illness/death, and Westwood has not been playing well. Dimarco seems to thrive on the Cup competition and I hope he helps Phil settle down since his collapse in the PGA.
A 2-2 tie would be doing well for us here.
Unfortunately , I'll be out of town for most of it, but hope to see the US team give them a serious run this time.

I'm just shaking my head at this. Tiger/Furyk definitely a great pairing, but a no Toms/Mich pairing. Aye! They are 3-1-1 together. Europeans have 3 pairings that have gelled together to start off. 2 1/2 - 1 1/2 Europe leads.
