European Ryder Cup Team

I am sure that there was a reason Westwood didn't play last week because if he played like he did yesterday then there would be no way DC could have picked him for the RC. Just hope it doesn't come back to bite Europe

i bet you aint on westwoods christmas card list .
give it a bloody rest mate ,we get the picture you dont like him ,you are like a broken record.

Seriously thinking all 11 must be crossing their fingers they're not picked to play with Danny Willett. Great golfer, when he eventually gets round to playing a shot but with a very irritating pre/post shot routine.

C'mon Danny boy get a move on son!

It's a good job the RC isn't being played at Crans. Our players don't look to be able to play it very well.
Nice bogey, bogey, quad from willet.

Well players trying to grab a bit of form today

Westwood good solid round of 4 under

Wood currently 3 under for the tournament

Willett had a horrific spell of a couple of holes but has bounced back a little and still at 3 under for the comp

Even though Sullivan and Fitzpatrick look like they may miss the cut they are both under par for today

Maybe it's not Doon and gloom after all

It'll always be doom and gloom for some. Not happy unless they're moaning.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

McIlroy still worringly out of touch and +3 at the moment in the Deutsche Bank. Sullivan missed cut in Switzerland. Some other players need to find some form as they aren't setting the world alight either

 

[fundy]

cant be that big a tear in Stensons knee, shot -3, that said almost guarantees he plays 4 rounds this week then again next, maybe he was the one player a couple of 75s wouldve been good for! Rose -3 too

That is very true indeed - I'm amazed they are even bother to go over to the states as its seems the US have already won

It's always very hard to judge form for the RC because the players are playing stroke play - matchplay is a totally different animal and especially in the team environment - looking forward to watching the team really rally together and shove the doubts down a number of throats

 

[HankMarvin]

One thing for sure is that they will certainly have to rally, not a single player in the European team I fancy apart from Stenson going into the singles, where it is won or lost

 

[TheJezster]

I'd fancy any of the Europe boys in the singles, despite form. The U.S. don't know how to win, and a solid performance by Europe again will make sure that doesn't change.

So seems the European boys aren't all struggling for form

Westwood with another under par round

Fitzpatrick with a good round

Wood a bit scrappy and Willett bit cold with the putter

Stenson doing ok

Garcia looking in good nick

McIlroy with a great 4 under round

And Rose is playing very well just off the lead

From what I've seen, not too many people have said that all of them are out of form. Certainly not seen anyone comment on stenson, Mcilroy or Rose.

Personally don't think using one good round suddenly means a player is in form and the by looks of things These"good rounds" that are under par still leave our players 8 shots plus off the lead.

of course that's form is irrelevant at the Ryder cup according to some. So the players form however good it apparently is, is irrelevant.

Happy with team, nice blend of youth and experience. Americans look stronger overall but they usually do. Will be interesting who Davis Love picks Hoping our greater team spirit will see us over the line. Wil be tough on US soil, but I think we can do it.Can't wait.

I don't think I did suggest that anyone said all of them are out of form :mmm:

The post was an update on how the European players are currently playing as opposed to giving someone an excuse to get the negativity rolling again

 

[USER1999]

I assume that people realise that my support, or not, on a golf forum has absolutely zero effect on the actual match result. A bit like shouting at the telly doesn't influence the footy result. I've tried, it doesn't.

 

[Papas1982]

That line is intentionally provocative.

as to the good form, I simply question it as I don't think it's the case.

I wasn't negative. Didn't say I thought we'd lose. Simply that it was a spin on events that IMO didn't add up.

 

[Sports_Fanatic]

Form debate is an interesting one, Furyk obviously had that sensational round and some good rounds to follow, so would suggest in form.

Ranks high at world no 22, but if I was DL3 then there wouldn't be a chance I'd pick him as a wildcard given past RC record.

The first line in my post was a general statement - if it provoked you then that's your issue not mine

The rest of my post was a summary of players performances today not spinning anything but I'll let you draw your own conclusions as you see fit

So a half decent round means good form?🤔
I really hope you're right Phil,as if love to see us stuff the yanks 👍🏻
