US Increases its Ryder Cup Lead

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) -- Back in 1999 the U.S. trailed Europe 10-6 after two days of play but roared back to win in the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history. As day three of the 2012 event looms, the Europeans find themselves in the same position, down 10-6.
It's been plenty fun for the Americans, who for the first time have not lost any of the four sessions since the Ryder Cup switched to the current format in 1979. Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley were flawless in foursomes, matching a Ryder Cup record for largest margin with a 7-and-6 win over Donald and Lee Westwood.
Mickelson and Bradley have been so dominant that they have yet to play the 18th hole in any of their three matches. Bradley became the first rookie since Sergio Garcia in 1999 to win his first three matches
The U.S. needs 14 1/2 points to regain the Ryder Cup. Play will start at 12:03 p.m. Eastern.
