The only american on the mens side who had a chance to be atp top 10, mardy fish, looked lousy yesterday. I doubt he will be in the top 10. No american women in the WTA. In the masters today, of all the top 7 players, none are Americans. Anyone see any young americans on the rise in these sports, I love watching mcllroy, it must be a great time to be European and Irish and see these young athletes on the European tour.

I can understand why Rory wants to focus on europe.

I think the euros will have more country club posters because of those facts alone. No matter if you do belong to a country club, we are not seeing alot of rising stars playing tennis and golf thats for sure in the US.

even players talk is looking alot more european, pretty soon the whole place is going to look like kaiserslautern on a friday night
