UPDATE!!!

Mickelson/Austin only 1 down thru 13 They were at one point 3 down.
Glover Verplank AS thru 10
Cink Johnson AS thru 11

So the US is lookin pretty darn good right now.
Encouraging for a team with choking stiffs like Mickelson and Woods.
Woody Austin just stuck a shot 1 foot from the hole.
Looks like Austin and Mickelson will square that match.
Unreal.
Cink just also sank a 30 footer to put them 1 up.
come again? Eldrick a choker
In Ryder Cup and President Cup play, yes he has been.
Uhh...........since the start of this tourney in 1994, the Americans have won 5 out of 6.
yeah the last one was in 05.
its been 2 years, thats a long time for the US
Steve Stricker just nailed a 15 footer to win the match
Stricker/ Mahan 3&2
vs
Ogilvy/Scott
First points on the board go to the americans. Only 1 time in President's cup history has the team that put the first point on the board NOT won.
They roll up on the international field in this one everytime they play.
It's the Ryder Cup where we've been those pasty euro's es the past 10 years.
Yeah, the Ryder Cup, they always shrink up like cold s.
Wich is frusterating to me, cause thats the "real" international cup.
Cink and Johnson just won the match between them and Sabbatini and Immelman
Charles Howelll sinks a long birdie putt to put him and Woods Dormie.
USA 2 1/2 to Int. 1/2
the other three matches are all lead by the USA.
Ernie Els just yanked a 2 footer to half the match.
The Americans now have a putt for par to win the match.
Woods Howell Win their match 2-1
Toms and Furyk win their match 1 up.
4 1/2 to 1/2
The Americans are just smoking the internationals right now.
Suhweeeet!!!
Glover and Verplank finish the day by winning their match 1 up.
Going into day 2 tommarow the Americans lead 5 1/2 to 1/2.
This is ovah..
Please, please, please let's see Rory Sabbatini have to play Tiger Woods Sunday in the individual matches.
it aint over yet.
If the international team makes a few putts here and there its the other way around.
The matches finished close yesterday.
Like right now
Mickelson/Mahan 2 dwn Cabrera/Goosen
Woods/Furyk 3 down Singh/ Appleby
Johnson/Howell III AS Els/Weir
Stricker/Verplank 1 up vs Scott/Choi thru 4
Cink/Glover 2 up Ogilvy/O'Hern thru 4
Austin/Toms AS Immelman/Sabbatini thru 3
So they need to step up and wake up RIGHT NOW!!!
Furyk just made a long birdie to pull it 2 dwn.
Woods and Furyk down 4 thru 12.
Typical Tiger.
If he aint playing for money, who gives a .
now down 5 with 5 to play, Appleby and Singh are Dormie.
ing woods.
The Americans have turned two matches into their favor in a 1 up style.
I attended the President Cup today; damn , those tickets are f..... expensive !!!
Hey Lefty you goin tommarow?
7-5 USA.
The USA in the morning matches needs to win 3 of the 5 to win the CUP IMO.
If they can win 6 of the 10, then they have the Cup.
I'll try to; it's gonna be a nice day here in Montreal; time to go sleep if I want to make it
So far so good this morning Mickelson and Austin have already beat Goosen and Appleby 5 & 4
Woods and Furyk defeated Adam Scott and Ernie Els 4 & 3
Stricker and Mahan just defeated Immelman and Sabbatini 2up
Toms and Zach Johnson lead Ogilvy and O'Hearn 1 up with 3 to play
the shocker right now is Lucas Glover and Scott Verplank are 2 up with 3 to play
so hopefully things stay the same and its 12-5 going into the afternoon 4 balls.
Glover and Verplank just halved the hole with Weir and Singh so they are dormie going to 17.
Tomsy and Johnson can hopefully hold on and win and the americans can sweep the session, and its only happened 3 times before a team has swept a session the last time was in 03 and the internationals swept 6-0
Verplank and Glover just won 2 & 1 over Singh and Weir and thats a HUGE win.
now 4 and 0 on the morning. If Toms and Johnson can pull it off, they are in FANTASTIC position to really take a stranglehold on the matches.
The afternoon matches have been unreal.
The Americans were down in alot of matches and have come from behind in two to salvage halves, and in one they were down 2 with 5 to play, and WON by 1!!!
Right now Mahan and stricker are 1 down, on the 18th hole with a putt to halve the match.
It was fun
