I watched the U.S coverage, have to say i prefer it with one little exception

They talked about how amazing Phil was to make 10 birdies and then talked to Garcia as if he was lucky to have witnessed it

They both scored 9 under and if Phil had only made 9 birdies he would have lost!

grrr

USA win it using a captain that lost 4 years ago, mmmmmm, I wonder if Clarke will get another chance?

No way ... It would be the worst possible thing for golf, even for him to have any involvement. The guys a chump, I'm not gonna be listening to him but if any of you do you'll notice that his teeth don't even fit. Now if it was a locker room prank that they've swapped them then brilliant but I doubt it. I'll see you all during the week, stay cool geezers.

Not just the team but the crowd tho. So partisan throughout yet they just win and you could here a pin drop!!!

Great golf tho to watch. Just think That not using all the rookies on day one may of been his downfall, but they were just too good today.

I agree, but just watch, after a few months the Darren Clarke bandwagon will start rolling again.

I don't think he would do it again - he will prob be a VC for someone in the future but time to hand the baton on to defend our unbeaten record for the last 20 years at home.

Think it could be Thomas Bjorns time to take the mantle

Despite the result - enjoyed the golf but gutted for the European team. All the players from both sides acted with a lot of respect for each other and were a credit ( well apart from Bubba at the end !! )

The rookies will learn from it as others have in the past

Great golf, but there is such an emotional connection to Clarke I can see some wanting to give him another go.

Think there should be a special Farwell to Westwood, we don't want to see him again.

No points from him this time what a shocker....

I see Westwood as a VC next time along with Clarke. Not sure who the captain will be but Bjorn certainly a good shout. We need to review the selection process and find a way to pick the best team possible but also to pick players in form. I don't think (and just my opinion) Clarke was a good captain, but still better than Faldo.

At the end of it all, the US played better, especially on the greens but there were some fantastic games out there, perhaps none more so than Mickleson and Garcia. If Phil could play like that especially his driving and putting, particularly in majors and he could easily add to his tally. I think we still have the nucleus of a good squad, and the rookies that qualify next time will be better for the experience
