GOLF: Europe claim Ryder Cup advantage on first day
Holders Europe have made a strong start to their Ryder cup golf defence at the K Club in County Kildare in Ireland. One point clear after the opening fourball encounters, the hosts pressed home their advantage against the United States and have finished the opening day five-three up. The United States, bidding to end a run of four defeats in the last five Ryder Cups, drew first blood when Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk shaded Cup veterans Colin Montgomerie and Padraig Harrington to go one up.
But Northern Irishman Darren Clarke got a hero's welcome and answered concerns about his ability to cope with the emotions of the occasion by winning a point for Europe, partnering old friend Lee Westwood to a one hole victory over American duo Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco.
