A fit Poulter played last time but was out of form and had a mare. He shouldn't have been picked but was based on past performances. Sound familiar? I like the qualification method we have. The only change would be to start later to make sure more are in form.


Good point! I think my frustration at our now inevitable defeat and the bottle of white have taken their toll.

Agree about the starting the qualification process later - maybe the last season before the matches rather than both. :eek:oo:

Well I think that's it all over now

Some wonderful golf - that match with Phil and Garcia is something that will be hard to be beaten

Wonderful debuts front Rafa and Pieters , solid again from Garcia and Rory but the Europeans just didn't sink enough of those putts

Golf certainly the winner in the end though - that was a wonderful advert for the game we love.

Shame for Ryder Cup legends like Clarke and Westwood to end their RC career with such a low but what they have done in the past will never be forgotten

Roll on to France and to reclaim the Cup - get the rough growing and the bunkers punishing

What a final day, some superb golf from both sides, respect to the Yanks, their putting has been the difference today and regardless of matches yesterday I think we lost it on Friday morning when we were 4-0 down.

Sorry but they will be judged from the performance this year, poor effort from both. Sad but very true

Very classy interview with Sergio Garcia on NBC. Not at all prompted, expressed his regret at his putting yesterday and he wasn't able to deliver. Very humble, complimentary of Mickelson and spoke of how well they both played today Much respect to Sergio.

I think the loss yesterday afternoon was massive. Big change in, yes the m word. Psychologically that was huge for the US and put them on the front foot. Clearly the first morning was critical and I don't underestimate that.

Partisan loyalties aside. I'm really glad the USA has won this. They deserve it, and not just because of revitalising interest of whatever nonsense the petrified marketing people will say, but because they finally realised they needed to play as a team to win again and ultimately that's meant better games of golf for us to enjoy. We've been enjoying some of the best golf ever and for once the "legends are born" strapline is more reality then hyperbole.

It's been wonderful sport. Competitive, hard fought, passionate and emotional but all finished with a genuine respectful embrace and handshake between friends and competitors. Is there anything better? I don't think so. Golf has won for another two years.
