I despair.
Deflect and deny. You keep telling yourself you are correct, I'll bow out until some intelligent debate arises again.

Gave me goosebumps- especially when Olly spoke , just a superb video and you can see why it inspired them

Brilliant and shows how raw Seve's death still is to Jose Maria. If that didn't get the hairs standing on the back of the European team rooms necks then nothing will. They looked pumped and you can see why. What a great piece of film
Am I the only one who thought it was very much over the top xfactor type production, hardly life or death was it.
didn't watch a single shot, away with the wife in Glasgow

Looking at the reaction from the players and on social media it appears you would be a lone voice or at least in a small minority - most appear to suggest it hits the mark perfectly and is a very inspiring video to watch for the players before the Ryder Cup started

Final decision was Furyks, that's the bottom line

Seems that Mickleson said the course was unplayable and that he won’t play a course like that again.

"almost" and he clearly emphasises that he means for his enjoyment.

Did he actually play then.... thought he just hacked his way round, never once looked happy to be there

Haha, those quotes are actually laughable. Basically saying he only wants to play easy courses. Fair enough to admit that I suppose. Makes a mockery of him being picked as a wildcard though, Furyk should have just asked him beforehand so he could have told him he doesn't play courses like that.
That is surely another smack in the chops for the statement that the US team was properly prepared. If Mickelson had played it earlier, if Furyk had seen the layout and engaged his brain then surely they could have come to this conclusion before he car crashed.
I accept that Bjorn may have requested that the rough be brought in a little more than for the French open but they would have seen the general lay of the land and worked out what was going to happen. The equivalent is that for the next Ryder Cup the Europeans take someone who drives it 230 dead straight. No use on the bombers course we already know the US are going to prepare. Captain's pick going forward are going to have to think of this perhaps more than they have in the past as the course choices become more home driven.

I guess PM's comments mean they will request a change of venue - perhaps Texas might be wide enough!

That’s pathetic from Mickelson gone down in my estermation now.

On Thursday I had unique access to a round table with Ryder Cup player and captain Ian Woosnam, and former European team members Jean Van De Velde, Peter Baker and Thomas Levet for a round table discussion on all things Ryder Cup. I was only supposed to have 15 minutes with them and it was filmed by European Tour productions (and he walked through my static camera shot several times) but as you'll see once they started talking it was hard to stop them. A very interesting insight and even if you hate my youtube channel and it's content, please try and see past that as this is a one off opportunity to here four ex Ryder cup members (and a winning captain) speaking. I hope you find it as interesting as I did

Mickelson throwing his toys again? Surely some mistake?

Don’t know what you are on about , you said the Yanks couldn’t cope with playing a course with 20 yards of proper rough like the course in France.
There are plenty of our Open courses with deep rough.
