Not sure thats allowed because the balls have to be the same compression dont they?

Think the ball used on a hole has to be the same compression throughout but you could swap from hole to hole. So Rose will tee off with Stenson's ball so Stenson can hit the iron in with his ideal ball and vice versa.
 
Have the rules changed regarding balls then? Always used to be that you had to play with the same make/model throughout the match.
 
From what I gather the rules at the RC changed in 2006 meaning that the balls can be changed from hole to hole but you must finish a hole with the same type you started with.
 
How is the coverage on Sky Sports? Golf Channel seem to have raised their game here. One thing I like about 50% of the commercials are what they call: "Played Through". Commercial on half the screen, continued coverage on the other half!
 
A turning point for Rose n Stenson? That's A Shocking miss by Reed!

I did that! Couldn't bear to see him hole another one so pressed the remote so the sky banner covered the bottom half of the screen. Now I've got to do that everytime to make the USA miss :eek: :smirk:
 
He hasn't even completed his first round yet the knives are out already :rolleyes:
Probably one Ryder Cup too far. Lee has been an excellent servant to the Ryder Cup but maybe in this event Darren's heart ruled his head.
It would be a shame if people memories of Lee Westwood were if (and I mean if) he performs poorly in this event and forget all the good stuff he's done.

Tbf I like Westwood & will regard him as a quality Ryder cup player regardless of how he plays this week.
