GLENEAGLES, Scotland - Striking a psychological blow in the opening session of the Ryder Cup, the underdog Americans took down Europes big guns — Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter — and grabbed a 2 1/2- 1 1/2 lead after the fourballs on Friday. Three rookies played a huge part in the U.S. resurgence. In the mornings last match, Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley won the final hole to beat McIlroy and Sergio Garcia 1 up to put the U.S. ahead for the first time. Mickelson, who made a short birdie putt on the 18th, and Bradley have won four fourball matches in a row together. Mickelson and Bradley were 2 up after the 10th, but squandered the lead in windy conditions. A 10-foot eagle by Keegan at the 16th put them back on track. That gave us a huge momentum boost coming down the stretch, Mickelson said. Even though we fought it for a few holes, we were able to hang in there until it turned, and those shots that Keegan hit on 16 were just stupendous. It marks the fourth straight time Europe has not won the opening session. Despite that, Europe has won seven of the last nine Ryder Cups. Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson gave Europe the first point, beating Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson 5 and 4. But then the American rookies came up big to swing the momentum, knocking off Poulter in the process. In a stunning performance, 21-year-old Jordan Spieth and 24-year-old Patrick Reed — the youngest pairing in Ryder Cup history — beat Poulter and Scottish rookie Stephen Gallacher 5 and 4. It feels incredible, Spieth said. It was very quiet around our group today. It was a goal we had to achieve. It was nice to have a partner that was making everything he looks at. U.S. captain Tom Watsons gamble of pairing the rookies in the first session paid off. It means a lot that he has trust in us, Spieth said. Watson had singled out Poulter as the one player the Americans wanted to target — even more than No. 1-ranked McIlroy. Poulter had won seven consecutive Ryder Cup matches and was the catalyst of Europes remarkable comeback in Medinah two years ago. This was Poulters heaviest ever Cup defeat. We couldnt manage to get it done today, so its a shame, said the Englishman, who went without a single birdie. We dont hole enough putts, that simple. The third American rookie, 35-year-old Jimmy Walker, also had a big morning, making a birdie putt at the 18th to halve the match against Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer. Walker and Rickie Fowler had been trailing the entire match. Walker and Fowler were 3 down after four holes but kept chipping away. Walker holed a bunker shot for an eagle at the 9th. We kept giving ourselves good looks at it, Walker said. We were in good shape. Watson said he was proud of his rookies, but decided not to send them out for the afternoon foursomes. I said, I know youre going to be mad at me, but youll be playing tomorrow for sure, Watson said. Watson retained the Mickelson-Bradley pairing for the foursomes. They faced Graeme McDowell and French rookie Victor Dubuisson in the fourth match. Watson also brought in veterans Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar, who were up against Lee Westwood and rookie Jamie Donaldson. Europe captain Paul McGinley stuck with McIlroy and Garcia, who were pitted against Walker and Fowler. Poulter and Gallacher missed out. The day began amid a raucous soccer-style atmosphere, with Simpson badly mishitting the opening tee shot. The veteran course announcer, Ivor Robson, even slipped up, mistakenly introducing Simpson as Bubba Watson. Seconds later, Simpson got under the ball and hit a three-wood high into the air. The shot travelled about 190 yards, barely reaching the fairway. Then Bubba Watson tried to rile up the crowd, as he had at Medinah, cupping his hand to his ear and waving to encourage more noise from the heavily outnumbered U.S. fans. With cheers ringing out, he hit his drive into the left rough. European fans chanted 10-6 — and you still cant win, a reference to the American collapse in Medinah. Ozzie Newsome Jersey .

Coupled with Columbus 3-2 win over Philadelphia, Toronto is now six points out of the last Eastern Conference playoff spot — held by the Crew.Both Toronto (11-14-7) and Columbus have two games remaining this season. Toronto hosts Montreal Saturday afternoon, before ending the regular season at the New England Revolution on Oct. 25.Columbus visits New York next Sunday, and ends the home portion of their season Oct. 26 against Philadelphia.Our playoff drive is over, Greg Vanney said, an acknowledgment that his team was essentially eliminated from the playoffs after their third loss in a row. Theyre frustrated. Theyre coming to grips.When Toronto FC players, coaches and executives begin the post-mortem on their lost season, there will an interrelated issue that comes to the forefront. Vanney believes the team still needs to mature, and pointed toward a pessimistic attitude he believes crept in during the middle of games, including a 19-minute stretch in the first half in where New York (12-9-11) scored three times.Bradley Wright-Phillips opened the scoring in the 26th minute by tapping Kosuke Kimuras centring feed past Joe Bendik (two saves). Wright-Phillips goal was his MLS-leading 25th of the season.Nine minutes later, Ruben Bover Izquierdo increased the lead to 2-0 with his first MLS goal after Bendik punched a Thierry Henry shot into a maze of players in front of the net which landed in front of the midfielder. The deficit grew to 3-0 when Dax McCarthy redireccted Wright-Phillips diagonal feed in the 45th minute.ddddddddddddIts a mentality kind of thing, Vanney said. I think its psychology.When you get passive against good teams and good players...We get away from the things we do well. You cant get yourself down 3-0.While New York was taking full advantage of every opportunity presented in the first half, Torontos best chance was Nick Hagglunds header off a corner in the 22nd minute, which Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles snuffed out with a leaping grab to keep the game scoreless. Robles finished with two saves— with his shutout bid spoiled by Jonathan Osorios goal in the 55th minute.But by that point the game had long since been decided.With the win, New York continued their dominance of Toronto at Red Bull Arena. Toronto has never won a game at the Red Bulls soccer-only stadium, having been outscored 17-4. New York has now won 10 straight at Red Bull Arena, and needs one point to clinch a playoff berth.It was an important win, Wright-Phillips said. Weve got a job to do as a team. Our work ethic all through the game showed what a team we can be. Were tough to beat when we work that hard.Along with the game, Toronto lost two players, one to injury and one to ejection. After banging heads with New York defender Jamison Olave in the 42nd minute, midfielder Jackson laid on the pitch for several minutes, and was examined by trainers.Hagglund was assessed a red in the 85th minute for an elbow to the back of a New York player as both jumped for a ball. The game grew chippy in the minutes following the ejection, marked by shoving matches and on-field conversations between the Eastern Conference rivals.The teams finished the regular season series with identical 1-1-1 marks.
