Its Ryder Cup Time

Not a bad 9&7 by Europe today either.

Some wag put the yanky pair forward for the Nicklaus Jacklin award since they conceeded every hole they played.

Even I can’t see how Europe can blow it from here.

Been done a couple of times before.

The Americans usually seem to do much better in the singles, lets hope they don't do well enough.

Even if they win two thirds of the matches, it still won’t be enough.
I think Europe have enough quality to put this to bed early. Get 2 quick points in the first four or five matches and heads will drop in the US team.
My only worry is that the US have improved with every session, I just hope they haven’t improved enough.

The early signs are good.

Hovland off to a flyer, what a player!

First class right now, along with Rory.

Suddenly looking awfully close.
Momentum is all with USA.

 

[Slick]

Great finish but anyone who didn't see the Americans making a fight of it doesn't understand the history of the competition.

Great to see the boy from Oban finishing strong, well done Bob, we are all proud of you and your efforts this weekend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pity, as that one was a belter.

Possibly because home advantage seems to make such a big difference that it’s becoming almost impossible to win an away series.
And the fans behaviour does seem to be getting worse on both sides.

I was surprised to hear 'them' say that the home captain (in this case Luke Donald) has the course designed to suit the players he has.
That alone must cost megabucks.
The whole team flew by private jet a few weeks prior....to get a feel for the course.
And they claim the players don't get paid. Yeah, right.

The ”design” will be the amount and thickness of rough and the placement of pins and tee boxes.
The course itself is chosen years in advance.
