CHASKA, Minn. -- Henrik Stenson tracked the flight of his shot from the middle of the 11th fairway and didnt like where it was headed. The ball had barely settled into a greenside bunker when he flipped the fairway wood end-over-end into the air like a baton.Welcome to America, Henrik! someone in the gallery howled with delight.Never mind that Stenson and his family have lived in a very exclusive enclave in Orlando, Florida, for four years now. More important is that it was the Swede who had the last laugh Friday at the Ryder Cup.He teamed with Englishman Justin Rose in the afternoons fourballs to begin the comeback that Rory McIlory and rookie Thomas Pieters finished in grand style to pull Europe to 5-3 by the time the gates at Hazeltine National Golf Club were closed.The closing flourish was something to see.Like Stenson-Rose, the McIlroy-Pieters duo got beat handily as the Americans rolled out a 4-0 sweep of the morning foursome. No U.S. team had managed to sweep a session since 1981, which may explain why Captain Davis Love left his opening and anchor pairings intact. So did Darren Clarke, his European counterpart, and his turned out to be the better gamble.No sooner had McIlorys 20-footer dropped for eagle to seal a 3-and-2 win over Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar, than he pumped his fist, then stopped and bowed deeply to the sometimes-raucous and overwhelmingly hometown crowd ringing the 16th green.I wanted to put an exclamation point on that session for us, McIlroy said. I thought about that celebration before I hit the putt.It was the kind of gesture weve come to expect from Spaniard Sergio Garcia. He teamed with countryman Rafael Cabrera Bello to win his afternoon match and has often served as the emotional engine for the European side, a role he inherited from the late Seve Ballesteros, another of his countrymen.But Garcia was relatively subdued after his win and, if McIlroy, as well as Stenson and others whose style is less demonstrative, step forward and claim a leadership role, these Ryder Cup matches will be something to see.With six rookies on his side, Clarke opted to pair the Olympic medalists -- Rose won gold at Rio and Stenson grabbed silver -- and put them out as his leadoff pair for both the foursomes and fourballs. They managed just one birdie through the 16 holes in the alternate-shot format and got beat 3 and 2 by Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.Obviously, Jordan and Patrick made a few more putts and got the momentum early, Stenson said.But the Swede had an inkling hed get the chance to square things.Jordan just told me he would see me this afternoon, Stenson added, and Spieth turned out to be right.But this time, the Europeans got some traction early, turning a 1-down deficit around with three straight birdies by Stenson and leading 2-up before they turned for the back nine. When Stenson dumped that fairway wood at par-5 11th into the bunker and wound up making par, Rose stepped up and halved the hole with a nervy 6-footer for birdie. That fueled another run as Stenson and Rose took the next three holes and closed out the match 5 and 4.Makes it sweeter when you beat the guys you lost to in the morning, Stenson said.

The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period. DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans have familiar looks.Detroit opened with a 39-35 victory at Indianapolis, its seventh win in nine games dating to last year.The Titans, meanwhile, started the season with a loss at home to Minnesota for their fifth straight setback since last December.The Lions seem to have a shot at extending their successful stretch against Tennessee on Sunday in their home opener.Matthew Stafford has simply been sensational since midway through last season, finding a groove with offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. Stafford has thrown 22 touchdown passes and two interceptions in his last nine games as Cooter has coached him to get rid of the ball quicker in the passing game.I think its a whole sort of offensive philosophy, Cooter said. Were getting it to our best players, doing what they do best.The Lions lost their best player, Calvin Johnson, in the offseason to retirement. That has forced Stafford to spread the ball more, and it worked well in Week 1. Detroit had three receivers, two running backs and a tight end making at least three catches against the Colts.The show must go on, receiver Golden Tate said. So, we dont get caught up worrying about who we dont have. We just try to step up our game individually.Marcus Mariota, meanwhile, took a step back in last weeks game with a fumble and an interception in the second half that helped Minnesota win 25-16 after trailing by 10 points in the third quarter.Mariota, the 2015 No. 2 pick overall, insisted he has learned how to move on 24 hours after wins and losses. He hopes, though, that the Titans dont have to do much of the latter this season.You dont want to get used to losing, he said. You dont want to get used to the frustration. You want guys to kind of feel that burn a little bit just because it makes them hungry and motivated to not feel that way again.Here are some other things to watch when Detroit hosts Tennessee:ON THE RUN: The Lions were last in the league in rushing last season, averaging 83.4 yards a game. Detroits ground game seems to be much improved with Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick. The duo and an inexperienced offensive line should get tested more this week because the Titans limited AAdrian Peterson to 31 yards on 19 carries.ddddddddddddWATCHING WALKER: Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey wants to get tight end Delanie Walker more involved after he had just three receptions for 42 yards last week. It might be relatively easy to do against Detroit, which allowed Colts tight ends Dwayne Allen and Jack Doyle to combine for seven receptions, 88 yards and three TDs.Im sure hes probably smiling after he watched our film from last week, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said.DECENT DEBUT: Detroit left tackle Taylor Decker, the No. 16 pick overall out of Ohio State, appeared to perform well in his first NFL game at a position that isnt easy to play for rookies.Its a good base to build off throughout the season, he said. They have some good pass rushers. It was good for me to play a full game to build some confidence.INJURY WATCH: Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy played last week, a great sign after he missed almost all of last season with a hip injury. Levy, though, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday this week because of a quadriceps injury.Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan couldnt finish the opener after going down with an injured left hamstring and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. If Morgan cant play Sunday, Kevin Dodd, the No. 33 pick overall, is expected to get significant playing time. Dodd was limited this offseason after having surgery on his right foot and was on the physically unable to perform list until a month ago.WELCOME BACK: The Titans start offensive tackles who fans at Ford Field will recognize: Taylor Lewan, the 11th overall pick out of Michigan in 2014, and Jack Conklin, the No. 8 pick overall this year out of Michigan State. Like Lewan did with the Wolverines, he fills up reporters notebooks with unique quotes.If there were a Pro Bowl for mustaches, mine would be in the Pro Bowl, Lewan said.---AP Pro Football Writer Teresa M.
