against Woods and Steve, Montgomerie expressed his views by saying that it was a great effort by Donald and Westwood, as they played brilliantly and settled the days plays with a perfectly vivid lead. He added the loss of Woods by 6 and 5 was a serious blow
for the American team.
Montgomerie seemed relaxed and very confident about the upcoming matches of the event. He said that Woods is the best player around and the current world number one and his defeat at the stage has given his team a strong boost.
In the other foursome match of Sunday, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy brushed their rivals Hunter Mahan & Zach Johnson off after a strong challenge. The European duo won the challenge by 3 and 1. On the other hand, the ace golfer from Ireland Padraig Harrington
and his English partner Ross Fisher thrashed Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk by 3 and 1 as well. The English rookie Fisher played remarkably well and displayed his important contribution in the course like never before.
In the other plays of the day, Miguel Angel Jimenez from Spain and his Swedish partner Peter Hanson fought a strong battle against the ace American rivals Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton. The Spaniard shot the crucial birdie on the sixteenth and snatched some
significant points at the stage to secure a remarkable lead for his European team.
Now the American team is under some serious stress as the Europeans have dominant the recent game and it is now their turn to show their remarkable skills and talents. The American skipper Corey Pavin is still confident and is keen to say that his team will
bounce back. It is also to be notified that the American team is comprised of some of the biggest names of today’s golfing world and they need to stay focus to bounce back into the event.
