Ryder Cup 2018 - Paris

[HomerJSimpson]

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.

This could be a lonely place if a US player gets on a roll especially if the scoreboard is dominated by red. It's the US ace format and Medinah on the other foot is still a distinct possibility. I can't see Woods losing and they'll definitely start holing more. Could be a long afternoon

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

Having to carry reed all weekend didn’t help. Awful ear cupping ***

And by the same token, if it turns blue early this could be a real spanking for the dream team, caution is the way forward, get the job done but nothing it done and dusted yet.

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

Thanks

So negative, 10-6 is a great lead, it was called the ‘miracle at medinah’ for a reason. Seriously homer just get a bit glass half full

Its a decent lead but we're still 4.5 points away so go on then, who is going to deliver? Where do you see these points coming from

Lmao Rory was a very for going out first and Reed and the Americans know it,Reed bottled it because he’s playing crap. Yes it’s sealed envelopes but it wasn’t hard to work out.

Reed gave it the biggen with that cupping ear at 3 down when he managed a half lol epic..

At least Thomas when he gives it he backs it up

Reed gave it out last time and now he can’t take it

No Capt is ever going to put a player out of form out first, so Reed was never in the equation so absolutely nothing to do with bottling playing McIroy.

He bottled it by playing poorly after giving it the biggen and saying he couldn’t hear the crowd

He gave it so much last time and now on foreign turf he is showing he is nothing

Whatever you believe what you want.
It was Reed who called himself captain America,a captain leads from the front.
His form is crap he knew Rory would want revenge and he bottled the challenge imo

Just finished watching it all on catch up.

I think we will get it done, 15.5 12.5.

Could easily see Woods getting a point, i think he started most rounds relatively well, but Carrying Reed took it's toll.
I think Koepka, Simpson, Bubba, JT and Spieth will all be tough.

Mickelson, Bryson and Finau should be free hits.

I think as is always the case with the Ryder cup, that the singles will show who's playing well and who's not. Fortunately, i think we have more playing well than the US.

And you keep smoking the crack pipe if you think a player from either side can where they are in the order so they can meet another player in that order.

I think it's somewhere in the middle, I agree that Reed is playing rubbish, think McIlroy is playing well enough to beat him. JT will certainly be tougher.

That said, we don't know if Reed has gone to Furyk, even if he did. A good captain would probably have swerved that match, irrespective of the players thoughts.

The players do have an influence, Rory has said in the past that he's asked to go out first, wanting to lead the way. Just like both captains will have an idea who may play where. We all knew that Rose and Henrik would be out first this afternoon didnt we?

I'm well aware players can ask to be placed in certain order on singles day but it's beyond the imagination of Walt Disney to believe that you can get what you ask for at the same time as predicting where a certain other player will be placed, but hey, if you guys believe that, then who am I to say otherwise, I'm just a mere living room fan.
