The Americans got off to a near-perfect start yesterday in the Presidents Cup, getting superb play from veterans and rookies alike in winning five and a half points out of the six alternate-shot matches at Royal Montreal. Despite a leader board covered with American red numbers, perhaps the most poignant moment of a gray afternoon was Jack Nicklaus, the United States captain, instructing Phil Mickelson and Woody Austin to concede a three-and-a-half-foot par putt on the 18th hole that assured Mike Weir of Canada and his International team its only point of the opening session.It was typical of Nicklaus, who famously conceded a putt about the same distance to Tony Jacklin in the 1969 Ryder Cup that allowed those matches to end in a tie. That gesture became a symbol of sportsmanship in match play between countries and continents. Then again, this was only the first day, and it was clear the Americans were in charge.

All it took was one glance at the scoreboard to realize the Ryder Cup was over. Tiger Woods was in the lead. It required two of his best shots to get there Thursday in the American Express Championship, a drive he hammered on the 567-yard 18th hole at The Grove, followed by a 3-wood into a slight breeze that landed 20 feet away for an eagle that gave Woods an 8-under 63, and a one-shot lead over Padraig Harrington and Ian Poulter.
