I really enjoy watching this, I think it's my favourite sporting event. Can't see it being as exciting as the last one but hoping to see some quality Golf and some more points won by Mr Poulter! It will seem weird the Americans not having Tiger playing. Go Europe!!!

Tiger has an abysmal record in the Ryder Cup format and he will not be missed.
I think the American team are far better than they are being given credit for and I have a nagging feeling they are going to win it.Sunday will be sensational and I reckon it may even be better than Medinah if thats possible.More of their big players are in form whereas our big players have tailed off with only Mcilroy and Jamie Donaldson our only form players although Poulter was born to play Ryder Cup and I am sure he will find his form in this competition as he always does.
The event itself for me is the most exciting sports competition in the world and nothing comes close to it.

Not long til the off ZFC! Some cracking matches this morning, the first and last matches could be big psychological blows to who ever wins them. I'm going Europe 2.5 USA 1.5 after the first four matches.

Poor call putting Poults with a rookie, should of put the rookie or Poults with a cool head, like Westy maybe.
Still, a rest this afternoon for those two I feel.

Well the Americans pulled that out the bag! Some poor Golf played by the majority today but highly entertaining. It just shows how much more pressure there is on them playing as a team. Europe need to apply some early pressure this afternoon.

Caught the end of the days play and it was superb entertainment. Mcilroy's putt on the 17th had me punching the air and leaping around the living room like a loon. 
Can't wait for tomorrow.

Europe staged a stirring comeback to lead the USA 5-3 going into the second day of the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
Paul McGinley's home side won 3½ points out of four in the afternoon foursomes session on Friday to claw back a deficit of 2½-1½ on an absorbing day in the hills of Perthshire.

Momentum with Europe and if Stenson can see off the impressive Reed then the rest will fold like a pack of cards.
