Saturday, Sept. 18 Colorado at REVOLUTION, 7:30 Chicago at D.C. United, 7:30 MetroStars at Columbus, 7:30 Los Angeles at Dallas, 8:30 San Jose at Kansas City, 8:30 Colin Montgomerie was right where he wanted to be yesterday posing, strutting, smiling, chatting, leading and, as always, collecting Ryder Cup points for his beloved European team.
Two matches. Two wins. All part of a stunning day by Europe, which put the United States in a deep hole by claiming of a possible eight points on the first day at Oakland Hills. "Monty, you are the Ryder Cup!" a fan yelled after Montgomerie hit a shot at No. 12.
Indeed. "I do enjoy the team format," Montgomerie said. "That's been proven. I enjoy being part of a team, possibly more than I enjoy playing by myself." Want proof? The 41-year-old Scot played in his 28th and 29th consecutive Ryder Cup matches, a streak that began in 1991 and eclipsed the record held by Seve Ballesteros. Monty has the best winning percentage of anyone who's ever teed off for the European side, going 18-7-5 during his career.
He's even managed to win over the American fans, who heckled Montgomerie relentlessly at Brookline five years ago. After finishing off his afternoon alternate-shot match, in which he teamed with Padraig Harrington for a 4 and 2 victory over Davis Love III and Fred Funk, Monty admonished reporters and cameramen for blocking the view of spectators wanting to see the next foursome coming through at 16. "People have been waiting all day to see some golf," he said. "Please sit down and let them see." The mostly American gallery cheered. "Way to go, Monty!" they shouted in unison.
RILEY DOES WELL: Chris Riley is the -qualified U.S. Ryder Cup Following one of America's LA worst days in golf's most important team competition, there was no question he belonged. Riley is a nervous bundle of energy whose sophom*oric humor kept his teammates loose all week. Yesterday, he prevented them from being shut out during the morning's four better-ball matches against Europe by sinking a 6-foot par putt on No. 18 to halve his match.
"We kept saying we needed that one point," Riley said after he and Stewart Cink tied Europe's Paul McGinley and Luke Donald. It was only a half-point, but it was a half-point more than Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson got all day. It kept the Americans from being down 4-0 for the first time in the Ryder Cup, and provided a sliver of hope for the afternoon's alternateshot matches, though only the Chris DiMarco-Jay Haas team wound up winning.

Ryder: U.S. gets rolled by Europe Continued from Page C1 on me," Sutton said.
"I can assure you I'm not going to be lovin' on them." Europe, meanwhile, was loving every minute of it. Colin Montgomerie set a Ryder Cup record by playing in his 29th consecutive match, teaming with Padraig Harrington to whip Woods and Mickelson 2 and 1 in the morning better-ball match and having even an easier time, 4 and 2, in the afternoon alternate-shot match against Davis Love III and Fred Funk. Montgomerie now is 13-2-3 in his last 18 matches, the best percentage among any European. Even more meaningful was beating Woods and Mickelson the American Dream Team -to set the tone. "Psychologically, it was almost worth two points to us," Monty said.
This might have been the quietest day at a Ryder Cup, as most of the 38,000 fans sat in stunned silence watching Europe steamroll through a team that has higher world rankings, more majors and bigger stars. Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Darren Clarke also won both their matches, with Clarke and Westwood finishing off the job Monty and Harrington started. They beat Woods and Mickelson in better ball with a bogey on the final hole, despite the Americans taking 3-up lead after four holes. Woods and Mickelson carved out clutch pars to square the match on No. 17, and Mickelson pulled 1 his new 3-wood for a crucial tee shot.
It soared to the left, took one hop off the out-of-bounds fence and dropped a few feet away, leaving Woods no choice but to take a one-shot penalty drop from the fence. Mickelson had a chance to make 1:00 8:00 Conn. 12:00 12:00 12:20 12:25 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:35 12:35 12:35 12:40 12:45 12:45 12:50 12:50 12:55 12:55 1:00 1:00 1:05 1:10 1:10 1:10 1:15 1:30 2:00 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:05 4:00 4:00 4:15 6:00 6:30 6:40 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:10 7:10 7:15 7:20 7:20 7:25 7:25 7:25 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:35 7:35 7:40 7:40 7:45 7:45 8:00 8:05 8:40 10:00 10:00 11:15 "I let it slide on 18 with a poor tee shot and it basically cost us the match," Mickelson said. The lead is so large the United States in 1975 was the only other team with such a huge margin, and that was before continental players were added to the other side to make it more competitive that Europe mathematically can clinch the cup today. The bright spots for the United States were two rookies Chris Riley and Chris DiMarco, along with Jay Haas, at 50 the second-oldest player in Ryder Cup history.
Riley holed a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole that avoided a morning shutout, earning a half-point for him and Stewart Cink against Paul McGinley and Luke Donald. Other lowlights: Davis Love III went 0-2, the first time he has lost both matches on opening day. Sutton had said he and Chad Campbell were as "strong as new rope," but they made only one birdie in better ball and lost 5 and 4 to and Miguel Angel Jimenez, the biggest rout of the day. David Toms failed to make a birdie as he and Jim Furyk were soundly beaten by Garcia and Westwood. Woods started 0-2 for the second straight time in the Ryder Cup.
He will be paired this morning with Riley, his good buddy from junior golf, in a better-ball match. Mickelson has lost his last nine matches in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. Sutton's pairings turned out to be a bust, none bigger than Woods and Mickelson. That was hardly the case for European captain Bernhard Langer. He benched three rookies Paul Casey, David Howell and Ian Poulter -but now has such a good lead, and good, but his wedge from 91 yards such a good feeling about his team, spun back some 25 feet.
that all three are playing today. GOLF FOCUS WILSON LEADS IN TEXAS: Some tough playing conditions cooled off Ted Purdy yesterday. A day after matching the course record with a 61, Purdy struggled through the stifling heat to a 69 that left him at 10-under 130, one stroke behind leader Dean Wilson midway through the Texas Open. David Peoples (64), Ryan Palmer (65), John Senden (65) and J.J. Henry (67) were all at 131, one shot ahead of Scott Simpson (67) and a Aaron Barber (63).
Barber's round was the lowest of the day. Purdy was tied with Wilson with two holes to play, but he carded his fourth bogey of the day by hitting his tee shot over the green on the par-3 17th and then two-putting from 15 feet. "Because it was so hot, the ball was flying further and I misjudged some iron shots," Purdy said. "I hit a 5-iron yesterday in the middle of the green, pin high (on No. 17) and today I hit a 5-iron over the green behind some trees." Purdy played in the peak heat, which reached 97 degrees, and when the wind came up in the late afternoon.
"It was kind of swirling, and you're on the hills and it's hard to determine where it's coming from," he said. By contrast, Wilson had a 65, going out early in the morning, when conditions were better at the La Cantera Golf Club course in hills just north of San Antonio. He opened his round with a birdie at No. 1, the event's longest hole at 665 yards, and added another on the par-4 7th. On the back nine, he had birdies on three of the first four holes before recording his only bogey, a three-putt on the par-4 15th.
got the stroke back on 18 when he hit a 7-iron within 3 feet for a birdie. "If the weather stays the same, I'll have the same game plan on the course and hopefully keep making some birdies," said Wilson, who had a top-15 finish at last week's Canadian Open. Two-time champions Duffy Waldorf (67) and Justin Leonard (68) were in a group of four at 133, while Jesper Parnevik (65) and past winners Bob Estes (66) and Loren Roberts (68) were among 10 players at 134. -Associated Press.
