NEWPORT, Wales --Turn out the lavender lights, the party's over.The U.S. Ryder Cup team all but lost the Ryder Cup Saturday. Is it too easy to blame the lavender sweaters?
Probably, though it should be noted that the Ryder Cup has never been won by a team that wore lavender. The undressing was due to a variety of reasons, and I'm afraid what we see is not what we're going to get.
What we see is the U.S. leading, 6-4. What we're going to get is Colin Montgomerie spraying champagne over thousands of delirious countrymen.
As play ended, the Europeans had steamrolled ahead in all six matches. Play resumes at 7:45 a.m. local time Sunday, which is 2:45 a.m. on America's East Coast.
Let me save you the trouble of staying up late, or waking up too early to tune in. Barring something sticky happening, Europe will have the U.S. finished off before breakfast.
I say sticky because the best U.S. moment of Saturday came from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The morning session had come down to the match between Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar against Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
The Europeans had rallied from a two-hole deficit to tie the alternate-shot match going into the 17th hole. The gallery has been crazed all week, but Celtic Manor sounded like one giant drunken pub as the Irish duo took the tee.
