Tiger Woods rectified his morning struggles with seven birdies, including five on the back-nine during afternoon four-balls.

It didn’t matter.

Ryder Cup rookie Nicolas Colsaerts authored a round for the ages, carding eight birdies and an eagle to carry the Europeans to their only afternoon point on a match that went down to Woods’ final, 14-foot putt on No. 18. Only when Woods missed could Colsaerts celebrate.

The U.S. trailed the entire back nine, but Woods stroked his tee shot on the par-3 17th to within 4 feet. That’s when Colsaerts rolled in yet another bomb, a 20-footer for birdie. Woods answered to extend the match for one final, futile hole.
