NEWPORT, Wales -- Welcome into a very bad dream. You know it as the 2010 Ryder Cup, but the biannual golf showdown between Europe and the United States on Sunday may already have been lost -- the causality being American interest not to mention the team's wet socks appeal.
With each and every raindrop that fell all night and into the early morning, and then sporadically during the afternoon, competition at Celtic Manor became less significant and more an obligation -- at least for the U.S.
No longer championship-level golf, it was slash and splash for the U.S., after the already rain-delayed third session was postponed from morning to the afternoon, and singles matches pushed into a Monday finish. And if that wasn't enough to make the soggy Americans appear to be having anything but a good time, adding to their unhappiness was the third-session butt-kicking also being absorbed.
"You know, they dominated us today," American Bubba Watson said.
