CHASKA, Minn. -- The American Ryder Cup team could use what might be Dustin Johnsons greatest asset in golf.Not his power off the tee.His short memory.Or no memory, Johnson said with a smile.Johnson remarkably managed to shake off one disappointment after another in the majors -- the 82 at Pebble Beach, the bunker blunder at Whistling Straits, the 2-iron out-of-bounds at Royal St. Georges, the three-putt at Chambers Bay -- until he won the U.S. Open this summer at Oakmont.The Americans have accrued little more than scar tissue against Europe. Thats why U.S. captain Davis Love III has preached all week at Hazeltine that this team, which only has two rookies, has never played together. That its time for a new start.No need to bring up that Europe has won six of the last seven times, and eight of the last 10 dating to 1995. No need to stew over the last time the Ryder Cup was held at home and the Americans blew a 10-6 lead on the final day at Medinah, the most crushing loss in two decades filled with defeats.In golf, its one sport -- and maybe being a defensive back in the NFL -- you need to have a short memory, Johnson said Thursday. So we havent talked about Medinah at all. Were looking forward to this week and these matches and this first session we have coming up tomorrow morning. No talk about Medinah.The 41st Ryder Cup gets started Friday with foursomes matches, and the opening game might set the tone: Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose and British Open champion Henrik Stenson against Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. Neither partnership has lost a Ryder Cup match.They will be followed by: Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan against Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler; Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer against PGA champion Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson; and Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters against Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.That will be followed by fourballs Friday afternoon.The Americans have not lost the opening session since 2006, when Europe had the better team at home in Ireland and sailed to a nine-point victory. Its sustaining the momentum over three days of nonstop action that has been the problem.Love acknowledged that as much during his radio interview in which he referred to his squad as the best golf team maybe ever assembled. That conversation started over the Americans needing more swagger, and Love conceded that when matches turn in Europes favor, the Americans tend to play not to lose.Even with Europe dominating, the pressure still falls to the Americans.They created a Ryder Cup Task Force to develop a plan geared toward bringing out their best golf. They brought Love back as captain, giving him a chance at redemption from the meltdown at Medinah. They changed the way they built their team, waiting until Sunday to add the fourth and final captains pick in Ryan Moore.Westwood, playing in his 10th straight Ryder Cup for Europe, took that as a compliment.Its very flattering to Team Europe that the USA have put this task force together and are trying to replicate what weve done, he said. It means we are successful and we are doing it right. We take a lot of pride in that. Gives us a lot of confidence and puts added pressure on them. You form a task force and it doesnt go right this week, where do you go from there? Youve done pretty much all you can do.So well see how that goes.Europe counters with six Ryder Cup rookies, one of them already feeling more heat than usual. Masters champion Danny Willett came under scrutiny when his brother wrote a column for a British outlet bashing the American fans. Willett met with Love to explain that was his brothers comments, not any feelings from the European players, and there was concern that the Minnesota fans would let Willett hear about it.The American apology came from Mickelson.Lefty went on Golf Channel early Thursday to say he should never have mentioned that Hal Sutton set up Mickelson for failure in 2004 by not telling him until two days before the matches he would be playing with Tiger Woods.There is rarely a shortage of drama in the Ryder Cup -- and thats before it gets started.Even with six rookies, Europe is strong at the top. Stenson won the British Open with a record score in the majors. Rose has a 9-3-2 record and is unbeaten in last six matches dating to Saturday at Medinah. Kaymer says he is known more for his winning putt at Medinah than his two majors. McIlroy has a bounce in his step after winning the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup on Sunday.A lot of the players on the European side have had multiple experiences of winning Ryder Cups, Westwood said. On the U.S. team, a lot of their players have had multiple experiences of losing Ryder Cups. Winning is a habit. And a lot of the players on the European team ... know what the experience is like and what to do. Maurice Taylor Jersey . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. Pooh Richardson Jersey .

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. MIAMI -- Freddie Freemans ongoing hitting streak wasnt enough to keep the Atlanta Braves best stretch this season going.Freeman had an RBI single in the first inning to extend his string to 28 games and added a home run for Atlanta, but the Braves season-best seven-game winning streak ended with a 6-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.Another Freeman night, extending his hitting streak, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said.Its the longest streak of Freemans career and one shy of the longest in the majors this season by Bostons Jackie Bradley Jr.Freeman has also reached base in 44 straight.It feels good, Freeman said. Obviously, Ive worked really hard and things are clicking right now. Im getting pitches to hit and Im not missing them.The loss ended a season-long seven-game winning streak for the Braves, who are 19-13 in their last 32 after starting 44-79.Last two or three months now weve been playing real good baseball, Freeman said. It doesnt matter how many runs were down, were going to fight all the way to the end.It was a little bit of everything that fueled the Miami Marlins offense with Derek Dietrich hitting a two-run homer and Dee Gordon stealing three bases.Thats how we really want it to go most nights, Gordon said. Weve been scuffling a little bit so to have everybody clicking with getting guys over, timely hitting is good for us.Gordon had two hits, two walks and his stolen base total was one shy of tying the Marlins single-game ffranchise high, which he has done on two separate occasions.ddddddddddddWhen Dee is able to get on and being able to impact it like that -- it puts pressure on the pitcher and the defense, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. What I liked about tonight was that he was willing to take his walks. You really want your leadoff guy to get on base and it doesnt matter how.Brian Ellington (4-2) earned the win in relief and A.J. Ramos recorded his 39th save in 42 chances.The Braves pulled within 5-4 on a wild pitch by Fernando Rodney in the seventh inning.Miami jumped to an early 2-1 lead on Dietrichs two-run homer to right field in the first inning.Both starting pitchers exited before the fifth inning. Miamis Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs in four innings and Atlantas Aaron Blair (1-7) allowed five runs over 3 1/3 innings.I just didnt have the command that I had five days ago, Blair said. I got myself in trouble walking the leadoff hitter two of the four innings. I put myself in bad counts in those situations.MARLINS SPEEDThe Marlins stole five bases. Yefri Perez and Realmuto also stole a base off catcher Anthony Recker.The five steals are the most since the Marlins stole five against Pittsburgh on Aug. 25, 2015.DIETRICH CATCHDietrich made a catch falling into the stands down the first-base line on a popup by Recker in the eighth inning.
