GLENEAGLES Scotland (Reuters) - Paul McGinley leaned on all the experience gained as a player and vice-captain in five previous Ryder Cups to ensure he kept his head after a tough first morning and it paid off with Europe's record-breaking comeback performance on Friday.

The hosts trailed 2 1/2-1 1/2 after the opening fourballs in which their biggest names -- Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter -- misfired horribly.
