This event resembles the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on the PGA Tour in that play is spread over three courses and amateurs compete alongside the pros each of the first three days.

The pair played the 18th at the Belfry for a third time and the duo both found the short grass. Fernandez-Castano hit a three-iron to the left fringe, but Westwood missed the putting surface left with his approach.

Westwood was in thick rough and could only get his chip within 12 feet of the stick.

Campbell,Mikael Lundbergand Alejandro Canizares are tied atop the leaderboard at minus-seven.

Charl Schwartzel has the clubhouse lead as he fired a six-under 66 to jump to six-under-par 210 through three rounds.

Defending champion Lee Westwood is one of five players tied for third place at minus-four.

Jim Furyk beat Miguel Angel Jimenez on Sunday to get the United States the necessary 14 1/2 points to win the Ryder Cup.

It was the first victory for America in this competition since 1999. Europe had won five of the last six Ryder Cups and three in a row, including the last two by record-setting nine-point margins.

The teams split the fourball matches Saturday afternoon, with each side getting two points, after Europe won the morning foursomes 2 1/2 - 1 1/2.

In the second fourball match, Ben Curtis and Steve Stricker gutted out a tough halve against the favored European duo of Sergio Garcia and Paul Casey.

While the Americans still hold the lead, it was an impressive morning for Europe considering stalwarts Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood were both benched for the first time in their Ryder Cup careers by captain Nick Faldo.

Ian Poulter and Justin Rose of Europe trounced Stewart Cink and Chad Campbell, 4 & 3 in the first match.

They were in the lead.

The United States grabbed a 5 1/2 - 2 1/2 lead over Europe after Friday's two sessions of at Valhalla, marking the first time it held the day-one advantage since 1995.

Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim overcame a 3-down deficit on the back nine to halve the opening match against Europe's Padraig Harrington and Robert Karlsson.

The first American points came from the second match when Justin Leonard and Hunter Mahan toppled Henrik Stenson and Paul Casey, 3&2.

Mickelson, the most-seasoned Ryder Cupper in his seventh appearance, and the rookie Kim, twice a winner this season on the PGA Tour, meet the reigning British Open and PGA Championship winner Harrington and last week's Mercedes- Benz Champion Karlsson at 8:05 a.m. (et) Friday morning.

Justin Leonard, who is playing his first Ryder Cup since holing the winning putt in the last U.S. victory in 1999, and Hunter Mahan will meet Captain Nick Faldo's pick, Paul Casey, and Henrik Stenson in the second foursomes, or alternate-shot, match at 8:20 a.m.

Karlsson claimed his eighth European Tour title with an up-and-down round that was good enough to hold off a charging Francesco Molinari by two shots.

It was the lanky Swede's first victory in two years, coming near the end of a sparkling season that has seen him collect nine other top-10 finishes -- including three in major championships -- without another win.

Karlsson appeared to have a five-under 67 on Saturday, but was informed by tournament officials after the round that there was a problem.

It was determined on the second green that Karlsson's ball moved after he grounded the putter.

Karlsson finished 36 holes at eight-under 136 and he is one clear at Gut Larchenhof.

Jean-Francois Lucquin, an overnight co-leader who earned his first European Tour title last week, only managed a one-under 71 on Friday, but is alone in second at minus-seven.

Lucquin, who beat Rory McIlroy in a playoff last Sunday to win the European Masters, collected seven birdies with just one bogey to join Richard Finch in the lead.

The duo held a one-shot advantage over Robert Karlsson, who opened with a five-under 67 to stand alone in third place.

McIlroy led by one on the 18th hole. He knocked his approach just off the back edge and chipped inside four feet. McIlroy missed the par putt to force the playoff with Lucquin.

Lucquin closed with a four-under 67 to end at 13-under-par 271, while McIlroy's bogey gave him a closing 71 at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

McIlroy, the 19-year-old former amateur star from Northern Ireland who grabbed the first-round lead with a 63 on Thursday, followed with a 71 in the second round.

The duo was knotted at eight-under 134 for a one-shot advantage over Juan Abbate (67), Alejandro Canizares (68) and Jean-Francois Lucquin (67).

McIlroy birdied eight of his final 14 holes and held a three-shot lead over Argentina's Julio Zapata and Welshmen Garry Houston and Kyron Sullivan.

Four-under 67 was a popular score at the picturesque Crans-sur-Sierre course, with defending champion Brett Rumford leading eight players who shared fifth place on that number.

Faldo announced his selections following the last round of the Johnnie Walker Championship.

Poulter and Casey were leading contenders for the final two spots, though their cases for being on the team were thought to be hurt after both missed the 36-hole cut Saturday at the PGA Tour's Deutsche Bank Championship.

Havret's closing five at the 533-yard 18th hole gave him a one-shot victory over England's Graeme Storm at 14-under 278. It was his third career European Tour win, tying him with Jean-Francois Remesy for second place among the winningest French players in tour history -- one behind Thomas Levet.

Storm, seeking his second career win, made six birdies on the back nine and fired a five-under 68 to reach 13-under 279 for the championship. He birdied the 18th hole to take the clubhouse lead -- but only momentarily.

Havret finished 54 holes at 11-under 208 and is one clear of Anthony Wall.

Wall rattled off six consecutive birdies on his back nine, then birdied 18 to shoot an impressive eight-under 65 in round three. He is in the final group at minus-10.

Havret, the overnight leader by two, finished two rounds at seven-under 139 and is one clear of Robert Rock, who posted his second three-under 70 on Friday.
