Ryder Cup 2021

However a vital point missed entirely .. the players don't boo or jeer each other

The fans are not in comp with each other ..

Can do what they want .. the players don't seem to care ...

Sometimes quite the opposite. Something give me the feeling that Poulter would have won a couple of majors if he had a partisan crowd booing him all the way round.

I am just a little surprised about how shocked people are. Loud, partisan crowds have been part of the Ryder Cup for decades now. This is not OTT nor unexpected, just a little more one sided due to travel restrictions.

Get over yourself. There have only been a small amount of comments on the shouts and its fair play for them to be discussed.

I think you need to take some of your own advice. Take your faux outrage somewhere else ?.
There must be a cloud for you to shout at somewhere.

Not much “average” golf being played - either brilliant or awful. Rahm is brilliant.

Rory and Poulter have lost already

Looks like McIlroy having a stinker. Maybe the pressure to play well and support Mr Ryder Cup.

I find Fitzpatrick's swing tempo insane. It all looks so rushed.

He has added 6 yards to his drive in last 2 years though. Think he can now carry the ball 220 yards

It's very early obviously but i can see Europe getting a bit of a doing tbh, hope I'm wrong !

To tell the truth I have found it all a bit tame so far. It probably has a lot to do with so few Euro fans being there and no opportunity for any back and forth. The atmosphere on the first tee here compared with France was chalk and cheese.

My expectations for Rory over the next three days are exactly zero.

The crowd on the left of the 8th have absolutely no idea that DJ has just hooked one miles over their heads

10&8 watch!

Are you behind Europe or just getting the digs in?

10&8 watch!

I want Europe to win, and I have nothing against McIlroy or Poulter, but it would be pretty epic to see this in the Ryder Cup.

Wonder what score it would take for Rory to sit out the afternoon?

I'm honestly not surprised they're getting battered. Rory has been pants for a long time, and Poulter is past it. And they're up against two of the best young golfers in the world.

I think the good thing about him is that if he doesn't think he should play, he would likely tell Harrington.

 

[Imurg]

Breaking news Rory & Poults get a half

You can be behind Europe and still acknowledge that Poulter stinks at this moment and McIlroy is even worse. They will do well to not suffer a major embarrassment.
