Ha! Fair catch"Not to Tiger bash but here's some hyperbole solely to bash Tiger."
. There were some real shocks in the singles, such as Fleetwood getting done over by Finau, and Olesen wiping Spieth aside in particular.
It happens in every RC, someone always turns over a big favourite in the singles, Fleetwood getting beat didn't surprise me, Oleson pumping Spieth on the other hand was a surprise.
Guys like DJ confuse me though. He's been world number 1 for quite a lot of time, but the only time I ever see him win it's driver, wedge, putt, driver, wedge, putt. That's why Butch Harmon's comments made a lot of sense to me, that the US courses are set up for you to do that, whereas Le Golf National was a course where you have to hit tight fairways with irons and they just weren't able to do it.There is a lot of talk about why the Yanks failed (All hail Europe!!). But for the perspective, all these 12 are the top 30 or so golfers. They do this for a living.. SURELY they know better. I can swing a club once in a while, but if I were to play a new course back to back, I will adjust my game second time round and I know what mistakes i made first time around. I am not consistent or long, but I will play the course to my ability. The yank were missing pars.. My society sometimes plays better than that.
That was the first Ryder Cup I've really watched from start to finish, and thoroughly enjoyed it obvious. Right from the Friday afternoon whitewash it looked like we were handling the course much better than they were. Agree with all the comments about the US bombers not being able to hit a fairway. The course was fantastic. There were some real shocks in the singles, such as Fleetwood getting done over by Finau, and Olesen wiping Spieth aside in particular. Garcia more than justified his selection - the contrast between him and Mickelson was interesting. Both were out of form and chosen on past performance, Garcia stepped up and Mickelson didn't at all, so one gamble paid off and one didn't.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm also a big fan of Finau, I just meant based on the Friday and Saturday, where Finau had been slapping it all over the place and Fleetwood had been playing brilliantly.That is not a shock at all in my opinion. Finau is a tremendous player and one to keep an eye on, I personally think he's worth a few pennies e/w for every major over the next couple of years.
As some have said mental fatigue of 5 matches is huge which why Molinari is a standout winning 5 out of 5. Doesn't happen very often for a reason.
I found Spieth's loss less surprising, he's now lost all 6 singles matches he's been a part of in Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.

This. Whistling Straights will be 7000 yards, rough cut back and thinned, flags in the geometric centre of fast greens. Can see the Ryder Cup flip-flopping between Europe and the US for the next few years as conditions become more extreme between the two hosts.
7000 yds? be close to 8000 than 7000 lol
A mate of mine went Sat/Sun, he said there wasn’t much left Saturday, he thought they’d re-stock but they didn’t.A footnote from the weekend merchandise, apparently it sold out on Saturday to the tune of around 6 million Euros
