Cat and mouse continues as captains refuse to reveal battle plans

RIVAL captains Hal Sutton and Bernhard Langer continue to play cat and mouse with each other in the build-up to the start of the Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills.

With the 35th match getting under way in the morning with four fourballs, to be followed in the afternoon by four foursomes, neither Sutton nor Langer is prepared to show their hand. Sutton is being especially stubborn. Although he admitted knowing what his teams would be, he said even the players themselves won’t be informed until some time this morning.

He did stress, though, that “it is extremely important to get off to a great start and when we announce our pairings, you’ll see that has weighed heavily on my mind. I’ll put out the guys I think can get it done.”
