Agreed I think we would all love to see the Europeans cuff the Yanks but it doesnt look like its going to happen no matter what liverpullPill says or try's to tart it up, let's face it he is no expert

So after starting the comp with a round of 2 over - Westwood follows up with rounds of 66,67 and today and great 63 ( which could have been lower )
Fitzpatrick started with a 5 over 75 but then had a 65 , 66 and today a 64 to finish 10 under
Willett finished with a great 64 as well
Some good confidence boosting rounds there

Shame none of them were really in contention.
And not against the strongest of fields.

Great to see and hopefully only get stronger as we get to RC
Indeed. Hardly a stellar field in Switzerland and as a result you'd expect these players to be shooting good scores and in contention

Fitzpatrick battled to make the cut on Friday with three birdies in last four holes to sneak in. Sullivan & Woods worryingly looked out of sorts but Westwood, Willet & over the weekend Fitzpatrick showed exactly why they're in the team. This piece of action on Sat though shows why we will win again even if we haven't got the best or in form players http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2016068/news/newsid=307351.html
Ryder Cup is a team event played by individuals, not v.v. USA can do all Team building it wants at Jack's house or with the President but when it comes down to it they play for themselves first & the team second.
Oh, and we've got better songs than them as well...http://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-top-5-ryder-cup-player-theme-songs

How does the quality of field affect the quality of the score?
A 63 is a 63 no matter who else is playing

Exactly! They play the course not the opponents.

Quite funny reading this thread. As soon as Westwood and others had a poor round it instantly shown how out of form they were and why we would get stuffed. In Westwoods case it already shown why he shouldn't be picked.
Then they put together 3 good rounds in a row (Westwood and Fitzpatrick) and it means absolutely nothing as its against a weaker field and they weren't in contention anyway ... Westwood mentioned in an interview that the first round he was just warming up as he has had little tournament play recently. He will be playing in Italy next week fully focusing in getting prepared for the RC. He has shown his commitment to the ET and RC over past few decades and still in early 40's has much more to offer the team than many on this forum give him credit for.
If I'm not mistaken he's under the same management as Fitzpatrick and guided him through his first few seasons on the tour by playing many practice rounds. Wouldn't be surprised to see them paired together at least once at the RC.

Think it's safe to say that McIlroy has found some form :whoo:

Not convinced. Still far too streaky. A win is a win but still don't think he's in a rich vein of form

Rory really is awesome to watch when he's hitting it like that.

So easy, just go and dump putting coach for a new one the week before, suddenly he can putt again.
Watch him go and dump his lass the week before the RC and its all good

Yeah, I mean it's not as if it was against a decent field was it!
I think he should be considering giving up his RC spot just in case...just like people said Kaymer should have done before Medinah

Casey didn't want to play in the Ryder CupYou'll be told off for that sort of heresy!
C***y is an infidel!
He made it clear he didn't want to be considered

Did he really say that?
I thought he didn't want to play on the European Tour and not being eligible for the Ryder Cup is a consequence of that.
