Europe draw first blood of Ryder Cup

Darren Clarke and Miguel Angel Jimenez claimed the first point of the 35th Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills for Europe today as they beat Davis Love III and Chad Campbell 5&4.

Three birdies in the first five holes put Clarke and Jimenez in command against Davis Love and rookie Chad Campbell, and a par on the ninth was enough to increase their lead at the turn to four holes.
