Sorry Team Asia, but prepare for you beatdown.

I'm thinking Europe should take this easily. Hope to catch some of the rounds.

Looks hotter than balls there. Team Euro was hawksweating before they even teed off.

The play today from Europe is god awful. Let Asia right back into it. Wow.

I stayed up and watched til the end last night... I would say it was a really good show and a helluva fun comeback to watch.....except it reminded me way too much of the way the final day of the last Ryder Cup turned out.

I'm curious how the tie will impact the Euro team come Ryder Cup time. Demons in their heads or fire in their guts? I realize the Euro team for Ryder Cup will likely be only a portion of this team overall it's got to light a fire in them to save face against us.

It was fun watching the Asians come back, they were so far down. They had real team spirit, the Euros did not show any....
