| 0:00.0 | Welcome in. This is the early wedge. |
| 0:13.4 | I'm Rick Damon. That right there is Jason Sobel, and we are live, live from the Rider |
| 0:18.5 | Cup. Jason. Hello, and good evening to you. |
| 0:28.6 | Good evening, Rick, and I see you're smiling. I'm smiling. We might be like two Americans on property here at Beth Page Black who are smiling right now. |
| 0:37.9 | Not a lot to smile about. I'm looking up at the big board here in the media center and I see a big number on the side of Europeans and a smaller number on the side of the Americans. |
| 0:42.3 | We will get you up to date with how we got there and what to look for for tomorrow. |
| 0:46.6 | Talk a little bit of strategy both on the golf course and off the golf course. |
| 0:50.3 | But just for this day, this is a long day, Jason, right? |
| 0:51.0 | It's an early start. |
| 0:52.9 | Everybody wants to be here for the very first T shot. |
| 0:57.9 | I'm always surprised at how fast alternate shot goes, and I'm always surprised at how slow four ball goes. |

| 1:06.9 | that was played today. |
| 1:08.3 | I'm trying to find some silver linings for the American side. I'm trying to find some positives that Keegan Bradley's guys can build on going into Saturday sessions. And I just can't sugarcoat it. This was a really bad day for the American side. We've seen over the last five Ryder Cups, Rick, not only the home team win, but the home team play better in the fours format. |
| 1:28.0 | That didn't happen in the morning, and that's a bad precursor of what could come over the |
| 1:33.2 | next couple of days because this looks like a European avalanche. |
| 1:36.3 | The fact that they only need 14 points to retain where the U.S. needs 14 and a half to win this |
| 1:41.7 | thing. All signs are pointing in the other direction right now. |
| 1:45.2 | The good news is the difference from Rome, at least on the first T right out of the gate on |
| 1:51.3 | Friday morning, was that the Americans came with juice. They went Bryson D. Shambo and Justin |
| 1:55.8 | Thomas immediately out of the gate. Bryson and J.T. birdied the first hole. It took a one up lead. |
