Newport, Wales ? Only in the Ryder Cup can so little golf produce so much drama.

Greenskeepers remove excess water after heavy rainfall on the fourth hole at the Ryder Cup. Neither team earned any points Friday, as rain delayed play for more than seven hours at Celtic Manor golf course in Newport, Wales.

More than 11 hours after these high-charged matches began in a steady rain at Celtic Manor, they ended in darkness, with Ian Poulter making a 20-foot birdie putt to square his fourballs match against Tiger Woods on a green illuminated by a large video board.

One problem: They were only on the 10th hole.

The rain did more than suspend play for more than seven hours. It exposed a wardrobe malfunction with the Americans’ rain suits and forced an unprecedented schedule change with the hope — or maybe it’s a prayer — that the Ryder Cup will have a winner by Sunday. That means everyone will be playing the rest of the way until one teams hoists the cup.

Ultimately, no one put a single point on the board Friday.
