Poulter and Rose do the business again. Hopefully the start of a turnaround.

First one to 14.5 points win. Tommorow is matchplay I think. You should have bet on Europe because I'd say that player for player we are better then the Yanks. We'll have to keep the lead close though.

First fourball looks lost.

2 down going up the 16th.

The last three look vital now. We are 2 up all square and 2 down. If we can win 2 and bag a half in the other that would be a great comeback.

9-7 at the end.

Europe could have won that last point, poor putt by Karlsson.

Still in it though, decent day overall.

Today has just been absolutely stunning, top notch stuff from both sides (doesn't stop Mickelson being an utter twat though)

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've watched at least 20 hours worth of golf over the past two days, having managed to complete both Vandal Hearts and Peggle Nights while doing so. Just magnificent stuff all round; not sure whether Mickelson's done anything to deserve such a title, I'd rather save my vitriol for Boo "BOOOOOOOOOO" Weekley. Both him and JB Holmes are the wandering redneck freakshow of the entire tournament.

Tomorrow afternoon is going to be nothing short of purely theatrical golf. Cannot wait.

It should be immense this evening. Although there is a certain kooky charm to the five live commentary.

I'm going to go DARK from about 8pm, and watch the highlights without knowing who's won. It should be a phenomenally exciting final day.

I reallt think its going to be epic. The americans seem to have gone heavy at the start to try and win it early but if we can get some blue on the board we could be in here. I want to see Boo and that cock Holmes get utterly crushed.
