With the US team holding a significant three-point lead, Paul Azinger has confidently sent out the exact same line-up for Saturday’s foursomes. If his team returns three points, as they did on Friday, then Europe are staring defeat right in the face.
Nick Faldo has really shaken up his selection, bringing in the idle man of Day 1, Oliver Wilson, but most surprisingly has dropped Garcia & Westwood (for the first time in their respective careers).
Saturday’s Foursome Matches (Local Valhalla time):
8.05 Stewart Cink and Chad Campbell v Ian Poulter and Justin Rose
8.20 Justin Leonard and Hunter Mahan v Miguel Angel Jimenez and Graeme McDowell
8.35 Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim v Henrik Stenson and Oliver Wilson
8.50 Jim Furyk and Kenny Perry v Padraig Harrington and Robert Karlsson

It seems that Garcia and Westwood requested to be left out today, it wasn’t Faldo dropping them. Reassuring, he hasn’t completely lost his head.
Hell of a start for Poulter and Rose, why on earth Chad Campbell got a second run today I don’t know. It’s unfortunate for Wilson he’s up against Mickelson and Kim, what a match to be thrown into.
