That seems like a best case scenario to me, Di.  Seventh or eighth in the East seems more likely. 

The USA leads Europe 6-2 after the first day of the Ryder Cup.  Playing under pressure like that can't be easy, even for the best players in the world.

Even if you are not much of a golf fan, try to watch some of the action on Saturday and Sunday.

If you have a chance to play yourself, try Black Wolf Run, Herb Kohler's other course.  I think Birdbath has played it.

There are four courses at Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits.  I’ve played them all. Many years ago right after college, I played a tournament at the Straits course and won it three years in a row so I kept getting invited back so I know that place pretty well.

I played Spyglass once.  I don't recommend it (if you play golf like me).

I played Spyglass last week. It’s a pretty cool spot.

I played both courses at Torrey Pines a number of times, but I much preferred the North Course (used for 1 round in regular PGA tour event) over the South (the other 3, and on the US Open rota).  A setup that brutal was just utterly draining, mentally and physically.  Too long, too narrow, too much slope, too many trees where errant shots tend to go.  It's not a course for golfers at my level, great as it is.
