Interesting the reason behind splitting up rose and poulter

What is all the BS they're talking about lies on the fairway? Tiger hits it through the back and it's all about him not being the player he was; Poulter does it and it's all about problems hitting off the fairway? Eh?

Doh... this has been going on so long, I thought it was Sunday.
Of course, by this time Sunday it will all be over.

Davis Love has shed some light on his decision to play Tiger woods in 3 out of the 4 sessions. ‘It’s pretty simple, I need to make it into a contest’, said the US captain, whilst looking very relaxed smoking a big fat stogie with his feet up.
‘It became pretty obvious straight away that if there was some water then the Europeans would find it, they are struggling to hit the greens from anything over 100 yards and they couldn’t buy a put to save their lives. It was actually pressure from the TV networks as they want to ensure the contest goes into 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] day. They have plenty of adverts they need to show as most golf punters are confused over which betting firm to use, so they need to be told every 10 minutes.’
When asked if he thought the Europeans were using the same tactic by picking Westwood, Love replied that it may well be the case as there’s no other sane explanation. In fact he hinted that he had already agreed with Olly that Westwood and Woods would face each other in the singles and would play stableford. With any score over 10 points more than likely to be victorious.
Whilst entertaining 2 playboy bunnies in his golf cart as he had nothing else very taxing to do today, Love also mentioned other tactics he was thinking of employing to make the contest more of a sporting contest and less of a royal buggering of the European team. One suggestion was to get the crowd to make as much noise as possible on the first tee whilst one of the best US players was teeing off. But that didn’t help. So then Love suggested playing George Bush Senior instead of Keegan Bradley, until it was pointed out that Bush Senior still plays off 13, and would therefore most likely get at least half a point if he came up against Martin Kaymer in the singles.

This is painfully slow play in the Donald/Garcia vs woods/Stricker match. Monty has been spot on with his views on it.

Losing par 5's to birdie in a fourball game at their level is ridiculous. It seems to happen almost every one when they are pretty much reachable in 2.

I'm sorry and probably not the first to think this, but the end is nigh. The Ryder cup will not be coming home.

It would appear that Lawrie is having a touch of the Westwoods....

Another 360 lip out sums up Europe's luck on the greens!
