Both teams desperately want that 17-inch gold trophy.
Europe is coming off a 14½-13½ win two years ago in Wales, a week of slogging through the rain that forced a Monday finish that made everything worth the extra day when it came down to the final match, with GraemeMcDowell delivering the winning point.
Medinah, the tree-lined course that has hosted five major championships, doesn't look anything like those events. Love has asked for the rough to be virtually eliminated and the greens to be slick as ever, hopeful that's an advantage to a U.S. team that he tried to stock with good putters.
Even though Europe seems to have owned this event, The Americans have lost only once at home in the past 15 years — at Oakland Hills in 2004.
