Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

Darren needs to get out on a buggy and give all our boys a bag of caramels which they could unwrap noisily whenever the Yanks are addressing their balls.

it's our only hope I tells ya!

A ploy that works in the vets better than any other!

How has Mickelson got a win when he hits his drives like that?!

Have you not seen his short game?

No chance FD. All four remaining rookies have to play this afternoon but just cannot see them doing anything that will stem the tide. And the crowd are up now and are only going to get louder and more abrasive/abusive in the fourballs. Can see another whitewash in the fourballs. Hope I'm very wrong, but I'm afraid I won't be.

What's the bloody matter with you?
Europe win the next three sessions 3-1 and we're two up going into the singles!

Quite happy to see the Yanks winning, they've lost so many times it's good for the RC and will make a better match next time. They are overdue since the Medinah collapse 4 years ago.
Early days but this time European Team doesn't have strength in depth, already been shown Clarke's buddy Westwood should have been left at home for Knox.

You, sir, should be hanged for treason!
Support your own, not the opposition for Christ's sake.

"Beautiful course this Hazeltine. How much do you think it would cost to buy? I've got $10m burning a hole in my pocket at the moment you see..."

Might get you the clubhouse mate or holes 1 and 2 or you can write me a cheque for a million if the burning is too unbearable

 

[Lord Tyrion]

My kind of course. No rough in sight! Not often a pro course is set up easier for pro's than for the members. (Don't think I want to play off their tees mind. I'll tee up a few yards forward)

 

[HawkeyeMS]

How bad is PM off the tee...?
Even I'm not that bad......

When there's no rough, there's no need to hit it straight

If he's as dumb as they imply on the Golf Weekly podccast I doubt DJ would be able to come up with a reply as witty as that... Actually he might not work out that the $10m is a reference to the FedEx making the gamesmanship somewhat redundent!

I do like Koepka.Tremendous ball striker.Big future for him.

 

[JohnnyDee]

Come on europe!!!!

I'll echo that completely.
And as for Speith ................................ how slow can you get?

 

[Jimaroid]

Rafa playing great.
Iceman staying cool.

Starting to turn this around a little...

 

[Jimaroid]

Pieters looking solid and cooler than half the veterans out there too.

I believe!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

They've mentioned earlier that players were on the clock this morning. What penalty would they face? Would any referee dare to enforce a penalty on Speith in a Ryder Cup in America?

 

[mat100p]

All the discussion of pairings from Clarke is in My opinion irrelevant All 12 players are top class. It simply boils down to couple of shots here odd long putt there. Europe could win next 3 sessions 4-0 who knows. That is the excitement of rydér cup.

 

[the_exile]

Great tee shot by Stenson!

 

[Jimaroid]

Stenson! I just little out a little scream.

 

[mat100p]

Does anyone know which group tiger followed this morning and this afternoon. Just wondering if his presence could be off putting especially for a rookie.???

 

[ColchesterFC]

They've mentioned earlier that players were on the clock this morning. What penalty would they face? Would any referee dare to enforce a penalty on Speith in a Ryder Cup in America?

They said earlier they got told that they were on the clock, then there were two warnings given and in the event of a third warning it was loss of hole. Would be a brave referee that would implement that especially if a match was close but would like to see it done if necessary. I assume that each round is a separate entity and a warning in the foursomes doesn't carry over to the fourballs as partners could have changed. Does anyone know if that's right?

 

[BrianM]

Europeans playing a lot better now.

I believe!

For deffs doesn't look fazed by anything so far.
