Relief ruling fires up McIlroy at Ryder Cup

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) ? The Americans finally have some momentum at the Ryder Cup.

And it's coming from some most unlikely sources.

Phil Mickelson and Ryder Cup rookie Keegan Bradley have won three straight holes to go 3-up on Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia with four holes to play. Neither of the Europeans ever lost in foursomes, and are 4-0 when paired in alternate-shot matches.

The U.S. also leads in the foursome of Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson vs. Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari. The momentum in that match turned on the ninth hole, when Dufner's 15-foot birdie putt stopped a half-turn short of the hole. After about a half-second hesitation, the ball dropped in and the low-key Dufner pumped his fist.

The Americans are making up some ground against Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, who seemed to be well on their way to Europe's first point after six birdies on their first 10 holes.
