JT looked nervous as hell, his game hasn't been sharp. Need a 2-2 at minimum out of the afternoon or the fat lady going to start warming up the pipes. It doesn't help this European team is pretty much identical to Rome, had a feeling this could be their year to win an away RC. Hope I'm wrong Keegan has already put himself in the crosshairs with some early decisions. Would actually rather have him playing than some guys on the team. 3 Quote
jdub27 Posted September 26 Posted September 26 US didn't play great but Europe was absolutely lights out. Rahm/Hatton -5 through 15 Aberg/Fitzpatrick -7 through 15 McIlroy/Fleetwood -5 through 14 Those are good Four-ball scores, let alone Foursomes Schauffele/Cantlay won the lone US match at approximately -1 through 18 1 Quote

Burns is the squad's best putter statistically in a setting where making putts wins holes but let's sit him. Spaun should be in everyone's match moving forward. Keegan is channeling his inner Zac. Have a buddy there. He said the crowd has been housing beers since 6 am and could get ugly if the USA doesn't turn it around in the afternoon. I'm baffled by Bryson and JT in alternate shot. I would've put Spaun with Scottie in the alternate shot because now the best player in the world isn't playing like himself when you need him to be great against Rahm, who is playing lights out right now.

tnt Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Baffling how the #1 player in the world cannot make one single putt. Even more baffling is how consistently he is missing on the amateur side of the hole. Quote

Even more baffling is how consistently he is missing on the amateur side of the hole. Stroke and match play are completely different animals. Even more so when you consider the team element. Tiger had a hideous record at the Ryder Cup in the team formats. Quote
sioux rube Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Scottie with a ghoulish 5-9-4 career record across Ryder and Presidents Cups now. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 26 Posted September 26 The Ryder Cup is almost always about putting to win a hole. Problem is the USA rarely makes anything outside of 10 feet. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 So to recap the Ryder Cup so far.....Europe can make putts. The USA can't. That's it. That's the story. When does college FB start today?? 1 Quote
sioux rube Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Currently down in 3 of the 4 matches. McElroy and Fleetwood kicking butt once again Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 If you had Keegan being as bad of a captain aa Zac on your Bingo card you win already. 4 Quote
tnt Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Why is it that the European players don’t putt as well when they are on the PGA tour, and some American’s only have success on the PGA tour through their putting success, yet can’t roll the ball in the Ryder Cup? Quote

tnt Posted September 27 Posted September 27 When your Captain breaks up or doesn’t play the players that produce, and keeps together or plays guys that don’t, you have a recipe for disaster. Yes, you have to play Scheffler and Bryson, but give me a bulldog like JJ Spaun over Henley who sounds like just getting there is the experience. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Henley is #3 in the world yet the way he's played so far he wouldn't be top 3 in our weekend group. 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Keep Colin out the rest of the Cup. Don't play him in singles to give Europe any beatdown momentum. Just forfeit his match. Quote
