Jonas Blixt celebrates after putting out on the 72nd hole Sunday

San Martin, California - Jonas Blixt, perhaps the best name in golf, shot

68 Sunday to win for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Frys.com Open

at Cordevalle.It was Blixt's shortgame that helped him capture the lead.

On the drivable par 4 seventeenth, Blixt drove it over the green, needing

to execute a very tough flop shot . . . he did just that, but he still had

7 feet left for his birdie to take the lead.Bliixt 3rd on the PGA Tour in the

strokes gained statistic, rolled his rock into the jar for his birdie and the

lead (-16) with just one hole left to play.

On eighteen, he faced a tough two putt across a ridge from nearly 40 feet.

Blixt negotiated the first putt well, but had that nasty length of about 3 feet

left to secure the win.After lining it up with his caddy, he calmly poured the

putt in and burst into an uppercut fist pump in celebration.The Swede who

was once a serious hockey player couldn't be happier.

"The weird part is I've been working on some stuff with my swing, and I wasn't

feeling completely 100 percent about my swing.I just told myself, just give it a

good hit every time and see what happens. Just focus, you can't do anything

better than your best.That's what I did on every shot."

Tim Petrovic and Jason Kokrak tied for second at -15.

The victory moved Blixt to 35th on the money list.

The Europeans celebrate their stunning comeback at Medinah

Chicago - On an absolutely beautiful Sunday in the Chicago suburb of Medinah,

anything that could happen, did.Starting the day with a commanding four point lead,

team USA was sending out their hottest players to offset Europe's top heavy lineup

of Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose.The problem for Team USA

was, Europe's captain Jose Maria Olazabal was channeling his fallen friend and

mentor Seve Ballesteros.

The perfect storm was well underway be the time the middle groups hit the first tee,

Donald jumped on Bubba Watson early, and held on for a 2 & 1 victory.Ian Poulter

trailed Webb Simpson for much of the day, but when it mattered, the Englishman

took out the U.S Open Champion.Now with the score 10-8 the momentum was

picking up steam.As if that wasn't enough, McIlroy overslept and had to arrive via

police escort just moments before his tee time (Chicago faithful chanted "Central

Time Zone" at him as he walked onto the first tee) . . . but even that wasn't

enough to keep the world's #1 from slaying the stars & stripes hottest player in

Keegan Bradley (the Ulsterman finished him off 2&1).

In match #4, Justin Rose jumped on Mickelson early, but Lefty battled back and was

one up standing on the 17th tee.Surely this was where the tide would swing the

other way.Phil hit his tee shot just over the green and had a delicate downhill chip

for his next shot.Rose was safely on the green about 38 feet away, but a 3 putt

could be a possibility.Mickelson nearly holed his downhill chip . . . with his par

conceded, Rose stepped up and made the bomb to send the Euro's into a frenzy

and take a 1 up lead heading to 18th.On 18, Mickelson found the fairway and flew

the green with his approach.Rose, from the left rough, hit a superb approach to 10

ft, Phil then chipped to 4 feet.The point was on the line here, and Rose came thru . .

. USA 10 Europe 10.

The matches see sawed back and fourth till it ultimately came down to two American

veterans: Jim Furyk vs Sergio Garcia and Steve Stricker vs Martin Kaymer.After losing

his lead on the seventeenth, Furyk had 6 feet to earn a half point.This was pivotal,

without a half it would come down to Stricker, who had an O-fer for the week.After

many back offs, and a routine that looks like an OCD episode.Fluff gave him the read

. . . Furyk missed and the Ole Ole chants ensued.

At 13 points all, the Euro's only needed a single point to pull off the greatest stunner

since the comeback at Brookline (but since this was a road game it would be the

most incredible accomplishment in the history of the Ryder Cup).It all came down to

putts by Stricker and Kaymer.Stricker had 8 feet to save his par and keep the slim

hopes of the USA alive.He had struggled all week, this would be a defining moment

for the Wisconsin native.Stricker nailed the putt and suddenly it looked like the final

match of Tiger and Molinari might matter.Now the Ryder Cup was in the hands of the

German Martin Kaymer, he had 6 feet to keep the Cup in Europe.A miss would put the

match in Tiger's hand, something the Euro's certainly didn't want.Kaymer stepped in

and calmly drained the biggest putt in Euro Ryder Cup history.Europe would once

again take the Cup across the pond.

Tiger and Molinari ended up halving their match making the final 14 1/2 - 13 1/2.

It was an amazing day on a gorgeous autumn day in Chicago, tough to see the

Yanks blow such a lead . . . but after congratulating some European fans who were

celebrating behind the eighteenth green, I couldn't help but think that the great

Seve Ballesteros had a little something to do with his comrades hoisting Samuel

Ryder'sCup.
