Europe could only dream of a Sunday like this at the Ryder Cup. It gave Tiger Woods his worst beating ever, hit all the right shots to spur on its foot-stomping, flag-waving crowd and kept the Americans from winning a single match.
Too bad this one won't end until Monday.
The Europeans already had reason to be in a festive mood amid the rain and muck of Celtic Manor.
Bolstered by the sight of blue on every leaderboard, they have won five matches and halved the last one when Francesco Molinari knocked in a 3-foot birdie putt and celebrated with his brother, Edoardo. That stretched their lead to 9½-6½.
Europe needs to win only five of the 12 singles match to reclaim the gold trophy.
"In my time — 20 years since I've been playing Ryder Cup — this is one of the greatest days for European golf we've ever had," European captain Colin Montgomerie said. "To run a two-point deficit into a three-point lead was quite amazing. To stop America from winning a match, just fantastic."
