Ryder Cup 2020/21 (***NO COVID/POLITICS***)

[babyfade]

Rahm an Wiesberger only good europeans this afternoon. Bring Sergio back and bench Casey and Rory.

[Naptime]

Rahm is clutch.

Rambo, Sergio, Westwood all have American wives. 

Exactly, they are letting Us win so they don’t organize another task force and get all weird. Well done guys, well done! 😎

But again, the old guard, Poulter and Casey, can earn way more points on the PGA Tour than the up and coming youngsters can on the ET and so will always be at a disadvantage, until they do enough to get on the world stage.

Casey yes, dont think Poulter has properly qualified since 2012, and not as if where all sat here saying Harrington should have picked this or that guy, some have mentioned Rose, hes not exactly youthful

Our problem is not Poulter…

Correct, for starters one of our leaders is missing in action, again.

[Jay28]

Rahm is the only European player to turn up.

[hammersia]

Us Euros have got the Americans right where we want them

[imakaveli]

Rory is just disappointed he has to be there for the weekend…

Yes, don't get me wrong, the well is pretty dry at the moment and alternatives are thin on the ground.

He'll be off to the range to see if he can hit it further.

At this rate he might be able to go home tomorrow night.

He may be a thoughtful, cerebral man, but as a leader Harrington is about as inspiring and motivating as listening to a recording of an under-the-weather Leonard Cohen talking with his therapist.

12 - 4 after tomorrow is a distinct possibility

I wish that was the reason why Casey missed putts all day 🥲

[CCTxGolf]

They haven’t showed JT/PC v Fleetwood group in like an hour or more.

[bscinstnct]

JT, if you see any texts from Charlie Woods

 

Don’t look

 

🤣

and right on cue fleetwood hits a long par putt that was huge.

[Duct Tape]

So Joe Sixpack gets up early, hustles to get a nice seat in the 18th bleachers, gets nice and liquored up all day, and finally at 4:40 CDT he gets to see some golf!

[Duct Tape]

Jaysus, 18th is a beast

Listening to these fans is really disheartening.

Why is that?  The booing has been pretty light, pretty good natured, no screaming during shots, other than one incident early that Jordan took care of, none of it has been personal.  
 

It’s a team sporting event, folks are entitled to chant, cheer and boo a bit. 
 

Let’s stop pretending that the European fans never jeer or boo.  It just isn’t factually correct.  I went to the Ryder Cup in Paris. There was plenty of screaming and booing going on. There’d have been more had the US not been out of it so quickly. My husband and I took a ration of s*** more than once for being US fans. 

[Dave230]

For those saying only Rahm turned up, Garcia, Hatton, Fleetwood, Hovland have all been good at times today. Likes of Lowry and Wiesberger not too bad. Poulter, Rory and Casey stunk it out though. 
 

This is a very strong US team I feel, it’s a tough ask this time. There’s only so long you can get by on ‘team spirit’ and ‘smart captaincy’ if your players aren’t anywhere near as good. If there’s a small talent gap these things matter. If there’s a big talent gap then it matters less. One of Europe’s most talented - Rory - is also playing terrible to make matters worse.

[Go Cougs]

To my friends across the pond.  Take a deep breath.

Yeah I think the US fans have been fair today, I think Hazeltine went a bit too far but today it’s been the right side of home support without crossing the line I feel.

Clutch shot from Hatton.

[mat562]

Not picking Spiderman is starting to look like a missed opportunity now, Padraig.

[ChrisL52188]

JT. What a putt. 

[mark m]

I don’t think you can send Bryson out in Foursomes tomorrow morning.
