Just read on Twitter that Phil finished the PGA Tour season ranked 192nd in driving accuracy. They count stats for 193 players. Great shout putting him into the Foursomes, bizarre choice from Furyk. Hopefully they'll go with him again tomorrow in Foursomes with Reed - the 182nd ranked player for the same stat :D

Seen in mentioned a few times on twiiter and I agree, that it seems like Furyk wanted his strongest pairings out in the first session but also didn't want to have anyone sit the whole day. You have to assume he thought they'd be able to get at least 2-2 or 3-1 but that plan doesn't look like working out.

The people shouting are so cringeworthy.

My bet is they are yanks, absolutely embarrassing. That aside, the footage is terrifying to watch not knowing if a ball is flying on to the green or in the water, my nerves are shredded already and it's on Friday :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Poulter is pants. Finished as a Ryder Cup "stalwart" (if he ever was one) he's another poor pick by Bjorn.

So had a bit of shocker this afternoon Craw 😉

Seems Poulter isn’t pants afterall , Rory was right to play in the afternoon , Garcia looking a good pick and Europe looking likely to have a lead


Maybe Bjorn knows his stuff after all

Hope people didn’t get too many tips from you 😉😂

4 nil - ole ole ole 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

This morning. Not dreadful. A few close matches and 3-1 probably didn't reflect the play.

This afternoon... Europe brought in 3 specialist foursome players well suited to the golf course & Ian Poulter (whose record is now 13-4-2)
America brought in 3 guys with a dreadful Ryder Cup record and Bryson - who didn't really have a chance playing with Phil.

Phil playing in alternate shot is just a disaster, and in fact, Phil playing at this golf course is actually crazy. Especially when you think he was a pick!

Concerns... neither Rory or Poulter are playing well. They got away with it this afternoon but don't think we are going to be able to lean on these guys if it gets tight.

Good points. A lot of guys are playing well, or well enough. Tommy and Frankie are already a hole or two up in their next match.

Getting out 5-3 means they can afford to maybe rest some players tomorrow morning. Personally would sit Rose out in the morning. He's played a lot high tariff golf in the last few weeks and it's going to be a slog for him to play another 3 matches in the next 2 days. Thought I saw him rubbing his back towards the end of his match as well. Also, could easily sit Rory out tomorrow morning and give him an hour on the range. Noren, Garcia both playing well enough to replace them in the morning.

Obviously it would be a big call to leave both Rose and Rory out of the four ball, but I reckon they should both play just once tomorrow.

Really surprised by Poulter and Rory's interview, surprised that neither of them said, like McGinley said, it's only day one. Those two have tons of experience and both them and Sergio seemed a bit over excited, I said yesterday, this will be won and lost in the singles, everyone needs to settle down.

Can't understand McIlroy and Poulter. Neither are the straightest and Rory looks so out of form. Can see 3/5 to 0.5 to the US here. Not feeling positive at all after watching it so far

Hey Homer, any chance you could give me six numbers that definitely WILL NOT be pulled out on Saturday's lottery draw.
