CHASKA, Minn. -- There were some curious decisions from each captain for Saturday mornings foursomes matches.U.S. captain Davis Love III chose to sit Dustin Johnson, whos only been the best player on earth for the majority of this year. Meanwhile, European captain Darren Clarke decided to split his four studs, pairing each of them with rookies.How will it all shake out? Lets break down the matches.Team USA: Phil Mickelson/Rickie Fowler vs. Team Europe: Rory McIlroy/Thomas Pieters, 8:35 a.m. ETThe American duo played foursomes together on Friday, winning their match 1-up. Mickelson and Fowler were down, then won three holes in a row; they were down again, then won three in a row again. That kind of topsy-turvy game might be fun to watch, but it might not be a recipe for success against McIlroy again, who this time will be joined by Pieters instead of Andy Sullivan. Beating Rory once is tough enough. Twice is asking a lot.Advantage: EUROPETeam USA: Brandt Snedeker/Brooks Koepka vs. Team Europe: Henrik Stenson/Matthew Fitzpatrick, 8:50 a.m. ETThe Koepdeker pairing was money in Friday afternoons four-balls match, feeding off each other to the tune of seven birdies in 14 holes and a 5 and 4 victory for the American sides only point of the session. Koepka, especially, looked nerve-free in his debut. Meanwhile, the soft spikes might be shaking a bit for Fitzpatrick tomorrow, as he never saw the light of the day during the opening two sessions.Advantage: USATeam USA: Jimmy Walker/Zach Johnson vs. Team Europe: Justin Rose/Chris Wood, 9:05 a.m. ETJust call em Team Underrateus. Walker and Johnson were the least star-studded of the four morning foursomes pairings for the U.S. on Friday, but they overcame a deficit that lasted 10 holes to first halve the match, then kept adding on, as they won each of the last five holes. Rose is always solid in this format, but he did ride the coattails of Stenson in the four-balls session and will be paired with Wood, who -- like Fitzpatrick -- is a rookie who has yet to see any action.Advantage: USATeam USA: Jordan Spieth/Patrick Reed vs. Team Europe: Sergio Garcia/Rafa Cabrera-Bello, 9:20 a.m. ETThe only team to play a third match together, Spieth and Reed finally lost on Friday afternoon for the first time in five Ryder Cup matches together, but theyve proved to be a formidable duo in this format. They should be given a tough test from the new Spanish Armada team of Garcia and RCB, but give the slight edge to the American side, just based on experience together.Advantage: USABuy Running Shoes Nz .

The Italian finished in 44 minutes, 29 seconds on the 20.6-kilometre (12.8-mile) uphill route from Mori to Polsa for his first stage victory in this years race. Samuel Sanchez was 58 seconds behind. Damiano Caruso was third, 1:20 behind Nibali. Nibali, who finished third and second in his last two Giro dItalia races, extended his lead to 4:02 over Cadel Evans and remains on course to win his countrys biggest cycling race for the first time. There are three stages remaining. Evans had a miserable day and finished the course in 25th place. At one point it even looked like Evans would be caught by Nibali, who started three minutes behind the Australian. Evans is now 10 seconds ahead of third-place Rigoberto Uran. "Its not for lack of trying that I lost a minute or two minutes," Evans said. "I came to this Giro with high hopes, but not high expectations. My real objective was to give my best, and, until this point, Ive made a few mistakes, but nothing big.dddddddddddd So in that regard, in terms of giving my best, thats great. "But of course you want to be winning -- and thats maybe when your hopes rise above your capabilities. Im unlikely to win, but I came here for training for the Tour de France. Second place at this point is not so bad." Nibali has dominated this years Giro to wear the pink jersey since the time trial in the eighth stage. Evans had been looking to gain some time on this stage but was nowhere near Nibali, whose speed allowed him to move nearly 1 1/2 minutes ahead of the Australian Evans in the first half of the race. He extended that gap as rain fell heavily at the finish. Sanchez had hoped for a stage victory after taking the lead by 22 seconds, but his time was annihilated by Nibali. Fridays 19th stage is the first of two more mountain legs, a 139-kilometre (86-mile) route from Ponte di Legno to Val Martello. There are three climbs of more than 2,000 metres, though they might have to be altered because of avalanche threats and sub-zero temperatures. The Giro ends May 26 in Brescia. ' ' '
