About this Article

Like any Ryder Cup captain, Davis Love III has endured his share of second guessing, but the results speak for themselves.His rookies, led by Keegan Bradley, have combined to go 8-3, and Tiger Woods responded to his first Cup benching by cranking it up on the back nine Saturday afternoon in one of the most exciting matches of the weekend in front of 40,000 festive fans at Medinah Country Club .But most important for Love, the U.S squad followed up a great start on Friday with another dominant performance Saturday to take an overwhelming 10-6 lead over the Team Europe heading into today’s singles matches.Plain and simple, Love has pulled all the right strings, but like any good captain, he’ll never admit it.
