The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National (MERGED)

[PappyVanWinkle53]

tiger and phil a combined 0-7? literally half the euro points coming off those two duds.

 

Yup....like I said earlier.....they're the best players on Europe's team this week!!

[larciel]

I just changed my mind, I won't be paying to watch Tiger and Phil, what an embarrassment. Phil should take a long time off, a very long time.

 

That match probably lost 40% audience after this week

Disgraceful performance by Team USA but you can't blame the players. If you bring the best players year after year and they lose every time, you need to start questioning management. So here's what needs to change:

 

1) Why is the PGA tour holding an event the Sunday before the Cup? Cancel it, send the players over AT LEAST 7 days before tee off. 10 days would be better.

 

 

Because the old excuse was the layoff between the end of the season and the Ryder Cup was why we lost.

well Butch Harmon doesn't like Reed

 

'Thats rediclious, show some class Patrick'.

[GolfTurkey]

I expect an 8500 yard course with no rough and greens stimping at 15 in retaliation for this course.

[Konklifer]

One of the most annoying things I hear every two years is American team spirit/chemistry doesn't match that of the Euros. I think that's b.s. Since the Belfry in '85, the Euros have just played better, plain and simple.

Poulter is a Ryder Cup stud. I'm actually a bit of a fan of his to be honest..

 

 

But NOBODY looks more ridiculous then him when he's thumping his chest. Actually, all those who play golf and do that look hilariously pathetic.

 

SMH

 

 

And?

[finleysg]

Interviewer: "What were your emotions when <whatever>?"

 

Answer I'd like to hear:

 

Player: "Come on! Step up your game. You had hours and hours to think of something to ask me, and this is the lame, cliched piece of crap you come up with?"

[gunmetal]

Phil got a win this year. First in a while. But overall, this didn't seem like a very positive year for him.

[iBanesto]

Courses like Valderrama and Le National are tough, tight and positional based golf courses.

 

Most Americans don't play many courses like these.

[2putttom]

Not really happy buy doesn't surprise me given the history of the RC.

 

No more old posts for now... Just like having a little bit fun with you :)

 

i'm relieved i don't have to do the full body waxing.

it was a stretch a wishful stretch

[stu_man]

well Butch Harmon doesn't like Reed

 

'Thats rediclious, show some class Patrick'.

 

Cause Butch is so full of class...

 

He also must have missed that Patrick was laughing and applauded the crowd.

[dlygrisse]

Tiger now holds the record for most losses in Ryder Cup history. Neil Coles is relieved.

 

Edit. Phil broke Tigers record.

[gatorpedsMD]

Bryson seems like a fun dude.

[mosesgolf]

Weak move by DeChambeau not giving that short putt. Immature.

[CC17]

US could've made it more competitive. But Noooooooo. I blame Furyk for his boneheaded picks and pairing decisions.

[larciel]

I'd SLAM it in if I was Noren. lol

[toddnt]

Phil got that win because JT's caddie made the idiotic decision to give him the longer club (adrenaline dump)!

Over pages and threads of absurd commentary its the "well the US team doesnt like spending time together, the Euro team does everything together" comments that are ridiculous.

 

You ever seen the Instagram stories when some of these guys go on vacation together? I'd wager to say they like each other as much as the Euro team does.

 

US team simply didnt play well enough. Didnt drive it well enough all week and it was a GREAT course selection and setup. This is how you setup a course when the opposing team only has one guy in the top 90 in driving accuracy. Good on them.

[gatorpedsMD]

so awkward that they are still playing

Get ready for a comeback, because that will be the excuse in 2020.

[Superbrit]

Hey atleast the US have got to double figures

[gatorpedsMD]

Weak move by DeChambeau not giving that short putt. Immature.

 

lol that was great, never give an inch to these euro punks!

[DixieD]

This is just a by product of the American vanity handicap system, shown the way by Poults off 4 lolllz

2) Drinking / party atmosphere on the plane. Get someone running the show who will DEMAND attention, you don't see this when football teams fly to the Super Bowl. AFTER they win, yes, party all you want. But beforehand it's time for preparation, not boozing.

 

3) Logistics. Why are the players wearing snow pants? They look like dorks, they know it, I'm sure it's in their head and affecting their game. TW looks like MC Hammer with those pants. Why do all the tour players have fitting clothes week after week on the tour, then they play for the Cup and it's a joke? Fire whoever was responsible for that, get someone who knows what they are doing.

 

4) Coaching. Absolute joke, get a real coach, not a former pro. BDC + TW is like oil and water. NOT pairing TW with Rors after what happened last week is the worst decision I have ever seen in the history of the Cup.

 

Dude, it’s an exhibition match. If you want someone to run the team like a dictator then nobody will want to play.

 

Honestly, I don’t think half the US team wants to play in this as it is (and I don’t blame them).

agree 100%.

[NoFancyUsername.]

Exactly gents...course setup.. Euro's couldn't lose.

This, it was clearly friendly banter. Hating Reed is such a meme now that people will instantly assume the worst intentions with anything he does.

Euros know how to play better as a team. The Americans don't seem to grasp that concept for Friday and Saturday.
