The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National (MERGED)

[Konklifer]

The Spieth/Thomas win was huge. US is not exactly strong in foursomes.

[pheenomz4774]

Molinari and Fleetwood may have just saved Europe's chances by their play on the back 9. Clutch. But if I were them I'd be side eye-ing Rory real hard about now. Need better from him in four ball with 4 par 5s.

 

In addition, sitting Tiger this afternoon I think always was the plan. I think Jim kept the Spieth/Reed Foursomes wild card just in case the Thomas/Spieth group wasn't on. But ride the hot hand. Reed playing all sessions tomorrow I'll bet.

[bladehunter]

Spieth has himself a good morning eh?!

 

What is happening with Phil Deshambeau pairing? That’s weird.

[gatorpedsMD]

Cara looking good in red.

 

Fleetwood looks like scared kitty about to get a Tiger beat down.

 

Friday am sweep!

Sadly you resort to immature BS like that for the best foursome out there due to the fact that you're Tiger blind.

 

Ur right it's not like tiger just beat the crap outta the 30 best players on the pga tour for a dramatic come back victory. Oh wait he DID. eyes WIDE open. And oh btw how did P REED do in the last Ryder cup????????

 

#fridayambeatdown

Fleetwood hardly looked like the "scared kitty" of your childish prediction. Hardly a beat down as you also wrongly predicted.

 

A great match as I predicted.

 

 

 

Yes, one side was really clutch in the closing holes to beat down the other one, and it wasn't the one with 15 majors. Other Euros all choked though.

 

THAT gatorMD guy was way off. Or team euro put some French curse on him.

[jerebear21]

They letting Rory out in the afternoon ? Oh boy.

[imakaveli]

Pitty, this session would have been halved with an Hatton and Rahm putts on 18. We'll see this afternoon!

[golfortennis]

And here comes my favorite part of the Ryder Cup: the 95 people on the green shaking hands after a match. WTF? It's almost as bad as the sponsor CEO walking down the fairway during a playoff because he held the hat where they drew the numbers.

[bravedave]

Walking it off. Fantastic finish. Three great putts on the last three holes by Molinari and Tommy Boy.

[FIRs&GIRs&3-Putts]

They letting Rory out in the afternoon ? Oh boy.

 

How bad was he? I couldn’t watch much after the first couple holes

[gatorpedsMD]

Tigers ability to underperform at the Ryder cup is truly a pain in the arse.

I would not have put my faith in McIlroy for the foursomes.

[OldTomMorris]

What is happening with Phil Deshambeau pairing? That's weird.

 

Agreed, didn't see that pairing coming at all until I saw the story yesterday on Golf Channel of Phil practising with the Bridgestone ball. Seems an odd one to me.

[gatorpedsMD]

USA takes big lead right off the bat as predicted.

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

Pitty, this session would have been halved with an Hatton and Rahm putts on 18. We'll see this afternoon!

 

Yes, but the 2 point gap is what matters in the end.

 

Mind you, I think Koepka and Finau should be more than satisfied with their point. That didn't really reflect how the two sides played, but that's matchplay for you.

[HoffTTM]

Sky are bloody useless too, manage to not show the opening American tee shot properly in the foursomes when it is literally the only golf happening

You should know this which is why you shouldn't have been saying what you said yesterday.

[gatorpedsMD]

Not liking foursomes matches. Could be a euro sweeper

Agreed. Way too many hangers on. Five vice Captain's each - ludicrous.

What’s ur thoughts on the foursomes?

[spbrooks]

Can't be a good idea playing Phil in foursomes instead of fourballs. Especially on this course. I can hear the "Oh no's" already!

[KennyP]

Agreed. And Laura Davies in the commentary box - surely they can do better than her? she's just said Bubba is partnering Scott Simpson!

[NoodleSalad]

Great morning for the U.S. In a surprise twist, demoralization network GolfChannel will only show the Molinari/Fleetwood putts for the next 8 hours.

[PenetratingWedgeStinger]

Great pic of Fleetwood after that phenomenal clutch putt:

Lol

[KennyP]

Conditions turning more European and the afternoon pairings have fallen well for Europe.

[mrbh]

Think Phil/BdC win hands down. Apparently Sergio was horrible again in practice rounds. Between that & Rory playing like an amateur I think the US could win the foursomes outright.

[BMC]

USA takes big lead right off the bat as predicted.

 

Yes, you're a regular Miss Cleo.

 

How'd that Tiger "beat down" work out?

[Rangeballz]

I hope Bryson can keep his cool when Phil continually puts him behind the port-a-johns.

We'll never know because the network will be in commercial when it happens. And he'll have cooled down by the time they get to the green, which is all that matters anyway based on production decisions.

I'm not as confident, I just said to my coworker we can mark Phil and BD down as a loss right now. Hopefully i'm proven wrong.
