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

[Dave230]

Two amazing shots from Hovland at 18. Pity it doesn’t matter.

[imakaveli]

Hovland, Rahm, Rory. We just need 9 others and we will be fine.

[Bunkersarebigcups]

Even I want DJ to make it

[PZero]

[Holy Moses]

It's one thing to win on your home turf. It's another to win on someone else's. 2023 in Italy might be the last stand for Europe's horses. Looking forward to the event, but not looking forward to the abomination of the golf course that is Marco Simone. Just look at how paltry it is compared to Whistling Straits.

Take Poulter and let him sit until Sunday. Lol

 

[Bunkersarebigcups]

So sad, there might be no "winning putt"

[ChrisL52188]

What a shot by Brooks! 

[Bunkersarebigcups]

Koepka almost acing. Lol

[Bunkersarebigcups]

Did we ever have an ace to win the Cup? Man that was close

[KennyP]

What were the odds on Rahm & Sergio both losing and Rory & Poulter both winning today?

[BlackDiamondPar5]

[Bunkersarebigcups]

That was quite sad. Miss a putt and still win. This week deserved a slam in by CM

[KBong]

Why was Larry Nelson not selected to be a RC captain?

Same with Couples?

 

Any other notable snubs too?

[KennyP]

Pity Viktor's match ended with two missed putts, but he deserved the half.

 

[Dave230]

Well done America, insane performance. Absolute clinic. Maybe the best Ryder Cup team performance ever.

Wait for another 40 minutes and it will be official. I am pretty sure the will get the record

[sevenfourate]

Outgunned, out-classed and outplayed.

 

On current form it could be a while in American hands.

 

Well played USA

Why Couples didn't get picked https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-pga-task-force-didnt-want. Nelson got screwed over, he should have been a captain. 

[ChrisL52188]

Congratulations to USA! We finally won.

Finally??? Isn’t that two out of three in favor of the US side?

Dont know anything about the  course but I just looked at some photos and google earth. Looks more like a resort course vs a championship golf course. I might be completely wrong though. Anyone have first hand knowledge? 

[tiderider]

euros with a 2nd place finish ... not too shabby ... 

[DanoCanuck]

DJ deserves the award. I don't like hearing the "elder statesman" crap though. He's been money all week. Played better than he has all year. 

[Holy Moses]

Stricker said that Brooks and Bryson wanted to play together. Should have done it. Could have ended that feud.

They played it a month back on the European Tour for the Italian Open. It looked and played great.

No, but it's getting panned for years. Hope you don't mind power lines throughout the course. 

 

Look at the Google pictures. It's laughable if it wasn't so sad. It's a one star private club.

Each side gets one, so give the other to Casey for missing that putt.

So it looks like Cantlay was just wearing the sweater meant for the wives/significant others.
