For Rose and McIlroy, Ryder Cup Is Test of Stamina MEDINAH, Ill. - The Europeans Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy are the only golfers on either team who will play in all five matches in the Ryder Cup. Rose and McIlroy are each 2-2 heading into Sunday's concluding singles session. "I'm not feeling too bad, actually," Rose said Saturday. I'm feeling a little bit fresher this afternoon than I was yesterday afternoon. I'd be feeling a lot better if we were winning our games. He continued: "But that's the whole thing. Our team, we'll have some fresh players tomorrow, and hopefully everyone will come out and give it 100 percent. McIlroy, paired with Graeme McDowell, lost, 1-up, to Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker in the morning foursomes, and he won with Ian Poulter against Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson in the afternoon. McIlroy, who appeared fatigued, made two birdies to Poulter's seven. "We were a little flat out there playing in the back of the pack," said McIlroy, whose birdie on No. 13 "really gave us the little bit of momentum, the spark that we needed," he said. "I could have just walked into the clubhouse after that," McIlroy added. It was the Poults show from there on in, and it was just a joy to watch. The United States' captain, Davis Love III, decided before the competition began that he would not play any of his golfers in all five matches because it was too taxing. Sticking to his strategy, he sat Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson in the afternoon even though they had won their first three matches. "We just felt like we didn't want anybody to have to play five matches on this golf course," Love said. It's a big, long golf course. He added, "We just don't want guys to be worn out."
