The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National (MERGED)

[Roadking2003]

Tomorrow morning...

 

Phil:: Put me in, skipper. I'm game.

Furyk: Phil, I told you there's no way you're seeing any foursomes action unless we are ahead 4-0. And not one of the other 11 team members wants to be your partner. Something about not wanting to be hitting from downtown Paris all the time.

 

Phil: But coach, I putt better than anybody on the team.

 

Furyk: Yes, you got me there. OK, play hard.

[Roadking2003]

Pretty much throw the strokes gained and other stuff out the window.

 

This is true. Throw out the Euro driving advantage too. Scoring is all that matters.

[bscinstnct]

Tiger, hand check!

 

Wait, DJ and PG back together?

 

Thats nice.

 

Looks like a $2MM cartier necklace was required ; )

 

Go DJ!

[Roadking2003]

 

If he's +.5 doesn't that mean he's gaining half a stroke a round ?

 

+ .5 vs -.5 equals a stroke per round.

[Roadking2003]

Yes, all of the SG stats for 2018 season are etched in stone. They will never change.

 

So, past performance is indicative of future performance? I wasn't aware of that. Poor Francesco, he doesn't realize how poor he will be putting this weekend.

 

Nobody said anything about future performance. The topic was this year's SG.

[Roadking2003]

I love the Tiger / Reed pairing as much as the next guy, but if you don't think Fleeteood / Molinari have no chance of beating them you're crazy. It doesn't matter that Tiger won last week and that Molinari had a bad week. Fleetwood and Molinari are 2 of the best ballstrikers in the world and can both go on Birdie tears. It should be an awesome match.

 

I agree that anything can happen. It doesn't matter that Fleetwood and Molinari have NEVER WON A SINGLE RC MATCH.

I'm sure it will be interesting until like the 13th and final hole...

 

This could be a very demoralizing morning for the Euro team. Poor chaps..

 

Real talk: I could see Steady Eddie Molinari racking up pars and an occasional birdie while letting Fleetwood go Coo Coo For Coco Puffs on birdies and eagles. It might be the best pairing for the morning wave.

 

 

Let's just hope that it doesn't come down to the 18th hole with Molinari "I can't putt" needing to make a 10 footer.

[Roadking2003]

the picture taking question was a definite jab from the media.

 

While they were all thinking "I would give my left arm to bed that woman".

[Roadking2003]

My minimum expectation for the American team is that they destroy the Euros in such a manner that the European Union bans the sport of golf from being played within its confines for all time.

 

It is a high standard, but one I feel should be met.

 

The EU bans anything they don't like....... even Canary Island bananas.

You ever been there (anywhere) ?

 

Just curious ; )

Yes. Been to the Canary Islands (and played golf there). They grow these wonderful small bananas. The EU will not allow them to be sold in the EU.

[IH82BOGEY]

Excited for Tom.

 

Found a picture of two tributes ready for the Tiger den.

 

That musical act was terrible , #sux

 

Music? Could have sworn that was a bunch of fornicating geese.

You talkin bout small bananas?

 

[Need4spd]

Break up Speith/Reed...the most successful duo in recent history in both the RC and PC.

 

Don't put DJ/Brooks together, despite both of them seeming to want to play with each other.

 

Furyk is setting himself up to be Hal Sutton Part Deux if this blows up!

 

I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. Not a good feeling at such an early juncture.

This is off-topic, but I thought the Canary Island bananas got "protected origin" status in the EU.

 

It would make a good headline, though: Bananas Ban: Complete Bananas!

News to me. Credible source/link, por favor?

Indeed they do. Ugh, more unsubstantiated BS, just stick to telling us how much you've seen of the Ryder Cup over the years and how Phil is going to outperform Francesco.

I'm sure everyone in Spain, Germany, and wherever else enjoying their platano de canarias would be surprised to learn they are not in the EU.

 

That headline in the Sun does write itself though.

[IH82BOGEY]

Todd Lewis too melodramatic. Jack Whitaker could have pulled that off tho.

[DBill]

Kids in bed, coffee is on, tee off in 2 hours and 15 minutes. The best opening tee shots in golf and I can't wait.

there's the spirit :hi:

[HoffTTM]

Someone will win a foursomes match whilst being 3 over, looks like an even harder set up than the French Open normally is and with any kind of wind that gets a single digit winning score

[soregongolfer]

Is The Golf Channel really "live" right now? There are two spots claiming it's live but it's dark there and it's 7AM in France.

They are live....Sunrise is 7:45 in France.

[Doc420]

Do the matches repeat at a later time, only thing I find looks like it will be only available live.

I googled that and was surprised at that number. No wonder Spain wants to move into the same time zone as England.

[soregongolfer]

Dothe matches repeat at a later time, only thing I find looks like it will be only available live.

 

The guide for DirecTV says this will go from 11 my time here in Oregon until 9 AM. No doubt they're replaying it again. Again at 5 PM Pacific time.

[Need4spd]

Anyone else find it a little odd that with only 20 minutes left there are still A TON of empty seats in those grandstands everyone has been talking about?

[Rangeballz]

Morning all....are we ready for some RC golf?

 

Best of luck to both sides. Let the games begin.

Yup lets hope for some great, dramatic golf regardless of winning side!
