Ryder Cup 2014, Gleneagles, day two - BBC Sport - more BBC incompetence

From 14:07 on the BBC

'3rd: Donaldson & Westwood ALL SQUARE Johnson & Kuchar 1 UP'

All square and one up at the same time? More idiocy from the BBC's arts graduates

Mathematical incompetence at the BBC

The BBC's report on the first day of the Ryder Cup includes this:

'The US won the opening foursomes session 2½-1½ but Europe surged back to clinch the fourballs 3½-1½ to take the overnight advantage.'

There are four points available in each half of the first two days, one per match. So how can the fourballs garner a total of five points. That's the trouble with employing a load of Arts graduates...

The aftermath of the Ryder Cup

Wow!

I desperately needed an early night last night but once I started watching the Ryder Cup I just couldn't turn off. I ended up watching it in bed with the sound on 1, my head on the pillow and Mrs NotaSheep snoring alongside me. I must admit that when Martin Kaymer won on the 18th I did a silent fist clench, mouthed "Yesssssssssssss", then turned off the television and tried to get some sleep.

Ryder Cup singles day is one of my favourite sporting days and this year's was one of the best. Judging by the volume of my shrieks through the evening, Justin Rose's monster put to win the 17th was the biggie.

A final thought for such as Denis MacShane, this was not an EU team is was a Europe team.
