Bit of a clash in team colours. Think they could have arranged different colours hard to tell teams apart.
Considering all the meticulous preparation no stone left un turned the captain's do. Lol.

Westy doing a great job so far of easing his rookie partner into the competition! Probably a case of "you cannot play worse than me so you'll be fine"!!!

They have certainly made the course as long as possible - 600 plus yard par 5's , long par threes , thought they would put the 5's within teasing range going for it in 2 ?

How good would he have been if his putting was even average......

Westwoods putting is nowhere near as bad as what people always make out. Last year (he wasnt a registered PGA Tour member this year) he ranked 4th! yes 4th in strokes gained putting! Above Jason Day & Jordan Spieth

Big chance missed by Reid there, I can't help thinking if they go 3 up its 1 - 0 USA.

What was that shout on Philly Micks tee shot? Something about Biscuits & Gravy?

How does the ball thing work then? There's so much fuss made about players having to play a specific ball as they know its characteristics. But I imagine some of them are not playing their preferred ball. It's as if the difference in premium balls is just marketing guff and in fact they all behave virtually the same way.:eek:

Its definitely a consideration for pairings, but i'm sure they would practice with the ball all week etc.

Is there's a stat for making putts when the chips are down in the big events. Ryder cup aside I'd wager he's not near the top 4 throughout his career.

All stats can can be manipulated thiugh. As someone as good tee to green I expect his total strokes are probably less than many others as he leaves lots of short one.
