The opening four ball matches resumed Saturday morning at the Ryder Cup. After a seven-plus-hour weather delay on Friday, action was stopped for darkness. The four matches resumed at 3:00 a.m. (et) Saturday morning under cold, but dry conditions at Celtic Manor. The U.S. is ahead in two matches, Europe leads one and the match that features Tiger Woods is all-square. Woods and Steve Stricker, a formidable tandem at last year's Presidents Cup, lost the last hole before play was called Friday and are tied with Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher. Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer lead Americans Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, 1-up. The U.S. pair of Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar are in front, 2-up, against the Northern Ireland duo of Rory McIlroy and U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell. American rookies Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton are 1-up against Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald. With the huge loss of time on Friday, officials and captains agreed to change the format in an effort to finish the competition by Sunday evening. After these four ball matches are completed, there will be six foursomes matches instead of the usual four. Upon the completion of those foursomes, there will be two foursomes matches and four four-ball matches in the third session. That is expected to end Sunday morning, followed by the 12 singles matches. Essentially, in an effort to complete on time, all 12 players on each team will compete in each session following the opening four balls. There will still be the usual 28 points at stake and the winner is the first team to reach 14 1/2 points. This plan should work time-wise if no more bad weather rolls in and that doesn't seem likely. Rain is forecast for Sunday, so a Monday finish looms as a possibility. The U.S. won the Ryder Cup in 2008 and in the event of a 14-14 tie, it would retain the Cup.
