I don't normally watch golf but my brother-in-law is a fan and is staying with me so we watched it on his laptop using Sky Go. That was a pretty fantastic tussle!

I'm not a big golf fan either but I always support Europe in the Ryder Cup and given the American fans behaviour during this tournament, I've been hoping and praying we'd turn the tide and retain the trophy:

Shame it was only on Sky, such major events should be availabl to all. When Sky get the TdF then we will really suffer. Money talks, sadly.
Great come from behind win though, good effort.

Now i am not a fan of the game,but as soon as i found out Europe were on a fightback i thought i will see this to the end,and i did 11-30 before i went to bed.
Now call me a doubting Thomas,but that last putt of Mr Woods,well it looked a bit off to me,he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

Here is a quote from Olazabal's final speech, very poignant.

"All men die, but not all men live. You made me feel alive again this week. I'm pretty sure Seve is very happy where he is today"

Well it was all irrelevant by then and he knew that.
 
What do you expect from the so called 'Sporting nation' that didn't even cover the Paralympics ....

As John Cleese famously said when asked the difference between the Americans and the English:

"When we have a World Series we invite other nations to compete"

Now watching boastful, braying, unsporting usanian fans in defeat IS sport worth watching .... serves 'em right.

I wasn't really engaged with the whole thing until this happened, particularly the caddy:



After that I took delight every time those idiots were defeated, hole by hole, round by round. ^_^

Why are they idiots, is it because they earn more than you can ever dream about, is it because they travel the world in private jets doing what they enjoy for a living.

No, it's because of the inappropriate behaviour shown by these so-called 'sportsmen.'

If you know anything about golf, then you'll know something about etiquette and decorum. If you started to wave the flag around on the green like that, then you could expect to be shown the way to the car park pronto.
