CHASKA, Minn. -- Henrik Stenson tracked the flight of his shot from the middle of the 11th fairway and didnt like where it was headed. The ball had barely settled into a greenside bunker when he flipped the fairway wood end-over-end into the air like a baton.Welcome to America, Henrik! someone in the gallery howled with delight.Never mind that Stenson and his family have lived in a very exclusive enclave in Orlando, Florida, for four years now. More important is that it was the Swede who had the last laugh Friday at the Ryder Cup.He teamed with Englishman Justin Rose in the afternoons fourballs to begin the comeback that Rory McIlory and rookie Thomas Pieters finished in grand style to pull Europe to 5-3 by the time the gates at Hazeltine National Golf Club were closed.The closing flourish was something to see.Like Stenson-Rose, the McIlroy-Pieters duo got beat handily as the Americans rolled out a 4-0 sweep of the morning foursome. No U.S. team had managed to sweep a session since 1981, which may explain why Captain Davis Love left his opening and anchor pairings intact. So did Darren Clarke, his European counterpart, and his turned out to be the better gamble.No sooner had McIlorys 20-footer dropped for eagle to seal a 3-and-2 win over Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar, than he pumped his fist, then stopped and bowed deeply to the sometimes-raucous and overwhelmingly hometown crowd ringing the 16th green.I wanted to put an exclamation point on that session for us, McIlroy said. I thought about that celebration before I hit the putt.It was the kind of gesture weve come to expect from Spaniard Sergio Garcia. He teamed with countryman Rafael Cabrera Bello to win his afternoon match and has often served as the emotional engine for the European side, a role he inherited from the late Seve Ballesteros, another of his countrymen.But Garcia was relatively subdued after his win and, if McIlroy, as well as Stenson and others whose style is less demonstrative, step forward and claim a leadership role, these Ryder Cup matches will be something to see.With six rookies on his side, Clarke opted to pair the Olympic medalists -- Rose won gold at Rio and Stenson grabbed silver -- and put them out as his leadoff pair for both the foursomes and fourballs. They managed just one birdie through the 16 holes in the alternate-shot format and got beat 3 and 2 by Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.Obviously, Jordan and Patrick made a few more putts and got the momentum early, Stenson said.But the Swede had an inkling hed get the chance to square things.Jordan just told me he would see me this afternoon, Stenson added, and Spieth turned out to be right.But this time, the Europeans got some traction early, turning a 1-down deficit around with three straight birdies by Stenson and leading 2-up before they turned for the back nine. When Stenson dumped that fairway wood at par-5 11th into the bunker and wound up making par, Rose stepped up and halved the hole with a nervy 6-footer for birdie. That fueled another run as Stenson and Rose took the next three holes and closed out the match 5 and 4.Makes it sweeter when you beat the guys you lost to in the morning, Stenson said.

PETERSBURG, Fla. Manny Machado Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Julio Urias Jersey . Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs. A lack of confidence and no killer blow halted the Wallabies historic charge in Pretoria, and halfback Will Genia believes the pressure is on the backline to return both against Argentina at Twickenham.Australia dominated most facets of Saturdays tough 18-10 loss to the Springboks but, much to Genias dismay, couldnt convert field position and possession into points - which continued their winless record at Loftus Versfeld.If we can take our points when theyre on offer, we know that we can trust our defence to shut them out, Genia said.The onus is on us as a backline to execute a little bit better. If we can do that we give ourselves every chance of winning and winning well.The team has made no attempt to hide its disappointment at the defeat and has vowed to make amends in the final Rugby Championship fixture this year.There was plenty of space, just a disappointment that we left a huge opportunity slip, Genia said.Weve been saying it for a long time now that when we create opportunities and give ourselves chances in matches, we are just not taking them.By not executing those little thhings we are not giving ourselves the chance to score tries, to make scoring plays.ddddddddddddeve got to keep working and stay tight. Maybe it is a confidence thing , individually or collectively as a group.Certain parts of our game we are doing well, certain parts we are not.And then we are not doing that consistently over the 80 minutes of the game - maybe (we need to) concentrate better in certain periods of the game.The familiar surrounds of Twickenham, for so long a graveyard for touring Wallabies teams, has been seen this week as a welcome fixture given Australias dream run at the ground as they progressed to last years World Cup final.But Genia is cautious when discussing how much good feeling theyll glean from the ground.Its nice to come back and have those memories lingering, he said.The other thing is we are under no illusions its going to be tough and we arent relying on it being a comfortable venue for us or that there is any advantage in that.
