Ryder Cup 2010 - Day 1

The first day of any Ryder Cup is always important and this year will be no different as both the European and American Teams look to get the matches off to an all important good start. It will be a long day at Celtic Manor with the Foursomes and Fourballs taking centre stage, Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin will be looking to get their strongest players out and playing well as early as possible.

There will be two sessions on Friday with the fourball and foursomes taking centre stage, the Captains will be looking to get the chemistry with their pairings. That can prove all important as some of the great partnerships have been seen in the Ryder Cup, one that comes to mind is Olazabal and Seve Ballesteros who formed a Spanish dream team during their Ryder Cup careers.

We will of course be following the Ryder Cup on Day 1 as it happens right from the pairings being announced to the final scores at the end of a long day so punters will have all the information at their finger tips. The pairings for the first day will be announced on the eve of the matches so they will be made available for punters to study in good time.
