• U.S. Team: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Chad Campbell, David Toms, Chris DiMarco, Vaughn Taylor, J.J. Henry, Zach Johnson, Brett Wetterich, Stewart Cink, Scott Verplank.

• European Team: Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, David Howell, Colin Montgomerie, Robert Karlsson, Padraig Harrington, Paul Casey, Paul McGinley, Jose Maria Olazabal, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood.

• Captains: Tom Lehman (United States), Ian Woosnam (Europe).

• Last time: The Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson juggernaut turned into a sinking ship, as Europe won 661/27 points out of eight matches on the first day and was never threatened at Oakland Hills. The Americans won only one session (Saturday fourballs) and were trounced in the Sunday singles. Lee Westwood's par putt on the 18th secured the cup, and Colin Montgomerie won his match to clinch outright victory. The final margin -- 18 1/2-9 1/2 -- was the largest for Europe in Ryder Cup history.

• Streaking: Europe has won four of the last five times.

• Winning experience: European players are a combined 74-42-21 in the Ryder Cup. American players are a combined 31-39-2.

• Notable: Since continental Europe became eligible for the Ryder Cup, Europe leads 7-6.

• Quotable: "If he leads his team, it will be a tough team to beat." -- Padraig Harrington on Tiger Woods and the U.S. team.
