SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Tony Finau hit the two most important shots of the morning session at the Ryder Cup, although neither was particularly spectacular.

Perhaps the most anticipated Ryder Cup ever got off to a strangely subdued start Friday, with few cheers, chants and songs.

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Given another lopsided alternate-shot effort, perhaps the Ryder Cup task force should have mandated some sort of foursomes curriculum for all potential U.S. players.
