Jumping the gun a bit?

European captain Colin Montgomerie told his players who their partners will be in the opening series of matches next month against the United States in the Ryder Cup.

Montgomerie would not reveal his pairings for the fourballs and foursomes, but said Wednesday that he will use all 12 members of the team on opening day.

He did disclose two likely pairings. Brothers Francesco and Edoardo Molinari will play a match together, as will Northern Irish pair Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
