There’s no doubt about the result however a couple of surprises in the singles draw for me.
Stenson so far down and Reed totally bottling the rematch with Rory.
Obviously not playing well Reed but in my mind gone from captain America to bottle boy.

that or Furyk decided he wanted a form player out first rather than a guy whos lost his 2 matches?

actualy think if America were to get back into this its a pretty good draw for them, especially if they win a couple of the big early matches

I see the first 5 matches being spilt in points, the middle order, The Poulter/Oleson/Garcia gives me concerns of getting points from, then Frankie and Hatton wins will hopefully see Europe over the line but I still take the US to win the singles.

Think it's worth remembering the USA only need to tie 14-14 to retain and I can see that half point being pivotal. We definitely need a fast start but having Stenson at the back end will hopefully be a safety net if we need something a la Kaymer at the close

Think Olesen has been a tad unlucky.
Can see JT winning the 1st match.
Casey's could be tight one.
Poulter & DJ will be a total contrast of characters.

Should be a few hours of tense & enthralling viewing 👍

They need 8 points to retain out of 12

We only need 4 1/2

Sod the half... we will walk it

I think you have had concerns every day and so far I think those concerns have been blown away so I reckon they will again tomorrow

Can see Europe getting 6 maybe 7 points tomorrow.

We SHOULD, but this is our weakest part and with so many rookies in the side, it'll be interesting to see who is going to stand up and make a name. That said, even if Fleetwood loses tomorrow he's been superb all week. Will he take over from Poulter as our "Postman"?

Look at the players rankings here. Woods flat bottom https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/45676637

I don't think many predicted the current score beforehand, I'd far rather be cautious than gung-ho. Sooner or later the US are going to start holing putts, as Spieth showed this afternoon. DJ can't go on missing putts, these guys are just too good to play poorly for three days solid. Tiger hasn't picked up a point yet, does anyone believe he'll go 0 for 4 for the weekend ?

McGinley made a great point this evening about the singles, fans are spread out, vice Captains are spread out, no playing partner or PP caddy to call on, singles is a different ball game, the US have pretty much, with the odd exception, been very strong in the singles.

Excuse my ignorance but how are the singles decided? Do both captains simply submit there order 1-12? I assumed this but the comment earlier about Reed bottling playing Rory made me question it. Unless they were sure Rory would lead off.

I certainly think he can - he looks spent for the season , him along with many others and I just think many of them are defeated already

Whoever made the post about Reed bottling Rory is on crack, each Capt. submits his 1 to 12 in a sealed envelope

I agree he and others look spent but a few reds on the board early soon wakes folk up, we've all seen it in the past.
