No going my money on Man Utd to win the league

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.

Every Ryder cup there has ever been has been won on the singles

Some fantastic golf all day, from both sides. Yanks fell apart in the afternoon, but were very good this morning. We really flew out the blocks this afternoon.

Course looks amazing, along with the atmosphere. Can't wait to be there on Sunday for the singles!

My very point about them getting over excited this early.

The real winner today for me was the course. Bad shots punished, often servely, good shots rewarded, greens tough but not too tricked up. Perfect for matchplay!

Any credit for the course set up goes to Thomas Bjorn, he has had total control over the course (except for tee and pin position), he’s visited the course numerous times over the last 2 years and told them exactly how he wants it.
So far so good

There is not enough space in my golf bag for all the balls I would need if I were to play that course.

I am going for 2-2 from this

a win for Rory and Garcia
another loss for casey and hatton
halves for the rest

Anybody seen Jacko G?

Not sure I'd be resting Rose and Stenson but get the logic of keeping them for the foursomes. Missed opportunity not putting Sergio with Rahm tbh. That would have been fire and kept Rors and Poulter together.

On a serious note.. is this our ‘last’ Ryder cup? What happens after March next year in case of No deal? Assume we can play 2020 as part of transition..

On a slightly less serious note.. Surely the European PGA wants us as much as the UK&I want to.. plenty of reasons..
1) the game was started here
2) we are probably the biggest market outside the US
3) UK&I have more members in the Ryder Cup almost every year.
4) it won’t be a Ryder Cup without Poults
5) Before the Europeans got involved, it was a comp between US and UK&I .. so we can always take our ball and go backb to original special deal..

Why wouldn't we be in the Ryder Cup? It's Team Europe. Not team EU. Are you worried about what World Cup qualification area England will be in as well? or what continental competitions English football teams will be playing in?

I’d imagine once it’s finished, just like Gleneagles it will go back to its normal set up, ie, wider fairways and less penal rough in places.
Won’t help with the water though
