The ryder cup thread

[davew]

All is not lost remember Medinah!!!!!

[westcliff white]

7 and half points form 11 players as discounting Westwood as he should even be there, so it is a big ask

[Mince n Tatties]

Only behind in one game now out of 9..up in 4.

[Mince n Tatties]

As it stands at moment we have the 7.5.
Come on lads.

[fulhamben]

Three is too far back imo,  think they'll wop us.
They only need 5 to win.

But which 5 could win. Reed providing he doesn't draw rory, Dustin maybe although he is out of form. And an outside chance for Kutcher and mickleson. The rest are bang average. Speith will probably lose 10 and 9 such is his poor form

You can't lose 10 and 9 (lol)!

you can if you are speith ;)

[fulhamben]

Fantastic golf from both. Europe poised well

[fulhamben]

Up in 6 down in 2 early days though

[Mince n Tatties]

Sitting on 8 points...
Come on Rory get the first win on board, will drag
the rest along.
7 now Sullivan just gave away 2 hole lead.

[Mince n Tatties]

Rory one down 5 to play..

[Mince n Tatties]

It's slipping away, behind in last 4games.
Kraymer has been a terrible wildcard. Should have
Picked The Beef.

[dannyboi-ffc]

come on Rory! Claw it back son

[Mince n Tatties]

Gone, we're getting hammered in last 4 games.

[fulhamben]

Can't believe we ate going to lose to such a poor team. They have made monster putts whilst we miss gimmea

[Mince n Tatties]

How did that Willet win the Masters.
Hasn't done a tap since, must have been a fluke. lol

[Mince n Tatties]

Did Clarke pick them as the last 4 out, if so he's
got it well wrong.
Kraymer who shouldn't be there and the rookies.

[Mince n Tatties]

Westwood 2up with 3 to play and loses..lol

[westcliff white]

Poor selection in Westwood, poor pairings Saturday afternoon, and overall a poor captain and captaincy.

There was no way the US was going to beat Europe the year Seve passed and Olazabal was the captain, or the year when Darren Clarke lost his wife to cancer. Also, there was no way the US was going to lose at home with Arnold Palmer passing last Sunday.

As far as how 'poor' the US team was 5 of the 12 guys have won majors (3 of them multiple majors), the lowest World Ranking of any of the 12 was #31 Ryan Moore (conversely Europe had 5 guys ranked from #42-50), and finally it appears there is a Ryder Cup 'specialist' on the US team in Patrick Reed (Rory would've beaten anyone else). After years of enduring Monty, Ian Poulter, and Sergio making putts from the parking lot, it was nice to see our boys make a few for a change.

Better team won and well done to the USA, but was closer than the final score.

Too many rookies and Westwoods putt on Saturday night summed it all up.

one of those 5 was speith and he was shocking all weekend. That was a poor USA team on form no matter how you look at it. Mickleson probably had his best round with the putter in a decade.
