TEAM USA TRAILS EUROPE AFTER FIRST DAY OF PLAY AT THE 2006 RYDER CUP


For more than twenty years, the Europeans have dominated the opening session of the Ryder Cup. After winning 22 of the first 25 Ryder Cups, the US has lost seven of the last ten. Unfortunately, history repeated itself today. Despite strong initial rallies, the USA Team ended the day on the losing end of a 5-3 score.

Two strong performances, though, by American rookies Zach Johnson and J.J. Henry.

The day did not appear to start with a strong US team. Tiger Woods, the number one player in the world, put his very first shot of the day into the lake that borders the first hole at the K Club. After a drop, he played his approach to the right fringe. He had an opening bogey on the hole. His partner, Jim Furyk, stayed solid. He hit a perfect tee shot and birdied the hole, putting Team USA up at the first hole.

Despite, also have trouble on the fifth and seventh holes, Woods consistently displayed his prowess as the greatest golfer in the sport.

Strongest player of the day was Spain's Sergio Garcia who finished the day 2 - 0
