[While both teams have significant question marks on their rosters, the Americans have to be considered the favorite simply because they have the home-crowd advantage, and that's no small thing during singles play on Sunday. Just remember how the hugely partisan frenzy built in 1999 at Brookline as the Americans staged the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history.] That's the deciding factor -- if you can quite the crowds on Sunday, ... You know the big roars are for the Americans. If we can keep them quiet and get up early, it's a big thing to keep the crowds under control.
