The United States has the lead. Europe has the momentum.

Chalk it up to a wacky day like no other at the Ryder Cup.
Going from sunrise to sundown, 24 players managed to grind through an odd mix Saturday: finishing fourball matches, playing entire alternate-shot matches, then getting started on an odd session that included both kinds of matches.

When play was called because of darkness, the U.S. had a 6-4 lead. But Europe was ahead in all six matches that got started late in the afternoon, marked by blue on the scoreboard and giving the home team an undeniable surge of confidence going into another marathon Sunday.

''Momentum is the key in these matches,'' captain Colin Montgomerie said.

In that case, advantage Europe.
