Making The Turn

SUGAR GROVE, Ill.-- As ominous storm clouds pull in over Rich Harvest Farms GC, the first two groups have reached the halfway point of the afternoon foursomes.Â

Currently, the U.S. leads two matches 2-up, and are 1-down and 3-down in the other two. (For live updates, click here.)

This format is typically the European team's bailiwick. And considering their one-point deficit after the morning's matches, they need to finish the day strong to stay in step with the Americans. Come Sunday's singles, the 30,000 daily spectators crowding this golf course will give each American a good 2-up lead before a single shot is hit.
