Rout

Well, you knew that Tiger was going to make fairly short work of Paul Casey, so the key match turned out to be the second; Mickelson vs. Garcia. Could Mickelson derail the best Ryder Cup player on either team?

Not a chance. Garcia destroyed Mickelson over the last eight holes of their match and the rout of the Americans was on. Kudos to the Europeans, who were magnificent. And kudos as always to NBC analyst Johnny Miller, the best in the business by about nine miles.
