Ryder Cup 2018 - Paris

I wonder which side Craw but his 20-8 scoreline bet on

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.

Surely if you accept a player "1" can ask to play first, then its fair to assume that player "2" could do the same.

They may not get their wish, which s why i said that a good captain would have refused Reed. But imo the two options are either Furyk refused him, or he didn't ask. As Rory will have wanted to go first and most will have had an idea it would happen. Rory is a lot harder to say no to than Reed in regards to stature.

I'm surprised that loud mouth Larry wanted to quote me again after his pathetic attempts at claiming Poulter was some sort of Messiah yesterday. Normal service resumed today I see.

If I was to start a thread with all your calamities and tantrums we'd run out if server space.

I merely give my opinion, if it's wrong it's wrong. Enjoy your stalking you freak.

In America it's usually a putting competition, over here it's about who finds the most fairways and that is why I think we'll win without too many dramas.
Find the fairways and pick up the points.
Come on Europe!!

Very cautious about the singles. It could be a rollercoaster of emotions.

How can the Europeans sleep last night and tonight...it’d be buzzing around my head thinking of a win and how I’d be playing the course. It’s bad enough for me the day before a board competition!

Yes it is.
Just can't get a full-size picture on the tv, the small screen has no enlarge icon .

Dewsweeper, doesn't your T/V remote have an Aspect button ?

I am a bit disappointed we haven’t loaded the order with all the form guys out early.

If I’m American I like that draw more than I think the Europeans would like it.

Rory, Rose, Fleetwood, Casey, Molinari & Garcia out in the 1st half. Still plenty of talent down the order where the Americans would be sending out Phil, Finau & Reed.

Molinari v Mickelson is just a waste. Frankie could give Phil 2 or 3 shots and Phil still wouldn’t have a chance round that layout.

Any other US players lose points today Phil???

Obsessed 😳

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.

Seve was put out first aginst Tom Lehman (?) I think from memory. Might have been last Ryder Cup Seve played and he was completely out of form, and couldn't hit a fairway. Everyone was amazed he took the match to the last few holes. Captain knew he would lose to any of the US team, so losing to one of their top players was a bonus.

I remember when they played two singles in the day, Nicklaus got beaten by Brian Barnes in the morning, and then made sure he played Barnes in the afternoon. Sealed envelope must have come unstuck Barnes beat him again in the afternoon.

Having seen hardly any of this Ryder cup, tomorrow is a "jobs around the house day" which will all be done near the telly.

Don't like the look of the first eight games. Think Rose and Fleetwood will win, and perhaps a half for Casey. Last four games look good though, so I will go for 6-6 in the singles and a 16-12 overall win.

 

[huds1475]

Perfect. Have a few quid on Moli for tip European point scorer

 

[Slab]

I can see this being 2 1/2 plays 5 1/2 before it's decided on the last 4 ties

Should be a great finish

 

[shortgame]

with so many rookies in the side, it'll be interesting to see who is going to stand up and make a name

Say what?

You honestly think our rookies still have to 'stand up and make a name' for themselves?

Really?

 

[shortgame]

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

Glass half empty much?

Come on it's not a foregone conclusion but I think every European glass should be half full after what we've witnessed over the first 2 days

I’m going 7-5 with us getting enough points in the first 5 games.
Good luck Europe

Nice to see people are using Europe's success to rub old arguments in peoples faces and to point score. Is it that hard to just enjoy the golf?

Some cracking games set-up for today - Rors vs JT to kick the day off is going to be so good, real excited for Rahm-Woods, Tommy-Finau and Garcia-Fowler. I see the matches going:

McIlroy vs Thomas
Casey vs Koepka
Rose vs Simpson
Rahm vs Woods
Fleetwood vs Finau
Poulter vs DJ
Olesen vs Spieth
Garcia vs Fowler
Molinari vs Mickelson
Hatton vs Reed
Stenson vs Watson
Noren vs DeChambeau

Think the US will start strong. JT's been one of the few shining lights in the US team and I expect him to start fast against Rory, Casey-Koepka could go either way but if Brooks keeps it on the planet he should take it, Rose-Simpson could go either way as Simpson has arguably been the US best player but think Rose will come out on top and then Rahm-Woods is two guys desperate for a point so that could go either way but Tiger's been starting fast, expect him to do the same today. Should be a great day of golf - Come on Europe!

Brian Barnes ! , back in the days when the Ryder Cup was a real contest eh, think things have changed a bit since then, I may be wrong.

This might go to wire.. but here comes the predictions Casey, Rahm, Fleetwood, Molinari, Stenson, Noren.. half to full from Rose, Garcia, Poults..
