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.

Laura Davies made two shots that will go down in Solheim Cup history to win the 16th hole, save her match and turn a rough opening day for the Europeans into something much better.The United States led by 4 Â½-3 Â½ after a windy, wet and frigid day â a good sign for a team that had not been ahead after the first day since 1998.Playing in the final fourball match of the day, Davies hit a tee shot on the par-3 16th that ended up in the bushes and bramble behind a creek. Once there, she blasted the ball to the fringe and chipped in her next shot from 50 feet to win the hole and draw her and Trish Johnson even against the Americans Morgan Pressel and Paula Creamer. The match ended in a draw.
