Ouch. Dagger to the heart, Westwood utterly chinned with one shot. Cruel game

Apart from bacon sarnies, what exactly do you like about golf? ? ?

More than you will ever know.

 

[USER1999]

Based on your incessant grumpy moaning, that's extremely likely ?

I am entitled to my view, as are you to yours. Have I complained and whined about yours? No.
I preferred the matchplay, as a viewing experience to be straight knock out. I don't think the round Robin adds much, and given that the concept was to keep the big guns in, it doesn't seem to have worked. Witness the last final, when Kisner won.
Would you like to contribute? Or just have another moan?

Shame we didn't see BobMac's driver to 3 feet on the 18th to set up the Eagle that won him the group...

why would they show the best shot at the most important time live lol, coverage been car crash

I like players showing a bit of passion and personality, and I'm far from a behaviour-prude, but some of the angry antics this week are embarrassing.

Hatton throwing his clubs, Rahm whacking his ball off the green then smashing his bag, players smashing holes out the fairway then not repairing it.... Sets a very poor example.

I am more patriotic than most but if they play in the Ryder Cup the I hope both Rahm and Hatton lose their singles matches. Not at all a fan of either, from what I've seen of them.

I'm not at all patriotic - and many of my favourite golfers are American - I still want ever single member of the European team to win every match - best event in sport.

Aaahhh, the ball that rolled onto the green when DJ was about to putt was MacIntyre's.

So we saw it - we just didn't see him hit it

Seriously ?! You want a player to lose their Ryder Cup match all because they act like humans as opposed to robots ?‍?‍?‍

It’s been awful - sooner they go back to straight KO the better , just so hard to get interested in the event , used to really enjoy it

The best thing about the Ryder cup, is there are fewer people on the golf course when its on. I really can't gat that excited about it.

no excuses from tomorrow hopefully, 8 games shouldnt be too hard should it #famouslastwords

as much as i love matchplay still not sure theyve worked the format out right yet

 

[Deleted member 15344]

There's a line Phil...
I like them showing passion, anger etc etc, but they shouldn't go round throwing clubs and smashing the course up... ?

“smashing the course up” ?

They haven’t really been doing that have they.

 

[ExRabbit]

Didn't they change the format as the players didn't like turning up for just one day of play for half of them, 2 days for 3/4 etc, so a lot of them didn't want to bother?

That's not what I said.

I said I'm not a fan of either of them. So yes, I don't support them in golf tournaments - that pretty obviously stands to reason, if I don't particularly like them

 

[Crow]

Poulter the only player with 3 wins from 3, I won't say it!

You said you hope that both lose their Ryder Cup matches did you not ?‍

 

[USER1999]

So boat loads of cash (1.8m for the winner), Fed Ex points, world ranking points, and for about half the field, a very short trip from home, and the poor dears didn't like the format?
No, I think they changed it because the sponsors, and the TV broadcasters wanted the stars of the game to hang around longer.

Bit like the Champions League in football - I've not minded the format - there's been a fair bit of excitement today - which you wouldn't normally get on a Friday.

But you would get that on day 1? The first two days are extended foreplay.
