Expected European Ryder Cup pairings Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell and the Molinari brothers are starting to look almost a certainty, after the second morning's practice groups were announced.
Colin Montgomerie once again sent out the two Northern Irishmen and the two Italians together on another wet and windy morning at Celtic Manor.
World number one Tiger Woods again plays alongside Steve Stricker, the man with whom he won four points out of four at last year's Presidents Cup.
Lee Westwood has Ross Fisher as his partner after playing with USPGA champion Martin Kaymer yesterday, while Padraig Harrington is with Peter Hanson rather than Luke Donald.
Donald became Kaymer's partner and Ian Poulter is playing with veteran Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez.
As for the Americans, world number two Phil Mickelson is alongside uncapped duo Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson again, and they were this time joined by another rookie in Jeff Overton.
Georgians Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar are together once more, playing with Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan, while 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler teams up with FedEx Cup winner Jim Furyk alongside Woods and Stricker.
Europe delayed starting their practice rounds until 10.30am in the hope that the weather would ease.
