    NEWPORT, Wales -- In view of the adverse weather conditions today, and the 7 hours, 18 minutes of playing time lost, a new playing schedule has been agreed to for the second and third sessions:

    --The 2nd session will comprise six foursome matches.

    --The 3rd session will comprise 2 foursome and 4 fourball matches.

    --This will be followed by the 12 singles matches.

    This means there will still be a total of 28 points available, of which 8 will be decided by foursomes and 8 by fourballs, and it is hoped that play will be completed by Sunday afternoon as scheduled.

    If necessary, play will continue into Monday.

    This new format will commence Saturday, likely after the first session is completed.

    I love the announcer on the 1st tee. It's the same guy that announces the players on the 1st tee at the Open Championship. Love the deadpan British accent, "Now on the tee from the United States.....Phil Mickelson!"

    Obviously I'm rooting for the US, but there are so many guys on the Euro side that I really respect like Westwood, Harrington and McDowell. Ross Fisher's also a fantastic player.

    How great would it be if Dustin played against Martin Kaymer in the singles and kicked his ass, exorcise the demons from the infamous penalty at Whistling Straits.

    Stewie Cink is on fire right now, but the daylight is fading fast.

    Also, they had the PGA guy on ESPN saying they've reworked the format for the next two days. They feel this will help to get it all in by Sunday, but Monday seems most likely at this point.

    I agree

    Well, my round got canceled this morning, so I woke up at 5:30 this morning and started watching the golf. I'm sick for this stuff. USA USA USA!

    Hopefully now that the us has this round stopped cause of darkness, that will stop the huge momentum that the euros have. They hopefully can regroup tomorrow morning and then the single matches will be killer.
    Would it be wrong to start drinking that early in the morning tomorrow?
    Could be drilled by noon :D

    You might be lucky to see much tomorrow as the weather is meant to be shite. It's 22.00 here and the rain is lashing down.

    I didn't see that much today but heard it was 6-4 to USA when we are on our way home. A bit surprised to see Europe leading in all 6, can't remeber anyone leading in all 4 previously. Westwood looks like his enjoying himself. Quote of the day has to be when Watson and Overton were interviewed after their victory and the interviewer said "Welcome to sunny Wales" :lol::lol:

    Just read a story on one of those sport tickers and it will likely be a Monday finish, for the 1st time in 83 years.

    Yep, a definite Monday finish. It takes the fun out of it. I expect all the players will be glad to head off home.

    The us seems to have a little momentum (not Stricker or Tiger though) How about Overton's shot from the fairway on 10 (I think) where he holed it, what a beauty.

    Molinari just fucked up, missed a 2 footer to go 2 up on Kutcher & Cink

    Tiger & Stricker now done, 6-5 for us.

    Well we have 3 matches wherewere only behind by 1, keeping it close
