Ryder Cup 2021

Foursomes today I'd have picked

Rahm/Hovland

Garcia/Lowry

Wiesberger/Fleetwood

McIlroy/Hatton

I wouldn't have dropped Rory on the basis he's unlikely to play badly three rounds running.

Right decision to bench rory this morning. Hes not steady enough to play foursomes.

Keep him fresh for the afternoon and tell him to go hunt birdies in the afternoon with a partner to back him up.

Viktor's going to be busy. ?

I think he can do it! OK, OK...

Wiesberger/Fleetwood

I would have gone
Rahm Garcia

Yes busy but a good chance for 4 points.
Pairings look worrying but have to be optimistic

Perfect start...........

I didn’t think it humanly possible for Europe to play any worse today than they did yesterday. On the evidence so far, I was wrong.

If Mrs BB is intent on watching Strictly this evening I might actually give in and pass her the remote.

It’s almost as bad as watching United under Mourinho.

This could be a complete embarrassment.

Genuinely fear for us here.

When and where is the next Ryder cup in Europe?

Who were our captains pick? Why did he pick them? Old boys or merit?

Lowry - was next on the list
Garcia/Poulter - 2 of the best Ryder Cup records and signs of form recently on PGA tour

I'm beginning to think Fragger's idea of Hatton withdrawing because he's not playing well may have some merit after all...

 

[Highslice]

Can they start using the WHS for the rest of the weekend?

I've no idea how Casey has started all 3. Every time I've seen him he's stuck it in the rubbish

I was about to say exact same thing. Just got in from golf, and saw Casey was playing again. He was awful yesterday, and he is never going to be a player who would provide any spark to Europe. Might as well just played Rory, hope he sinks a few birdies and gets pumped up.

 

[Highslice]

Almost feel like Casey and Hatton need to concede just to get out of there and stop DJ and Morikawa getting even more confident with their games and the conditions

 

[Swango1980]

Sergio! I think that was my first "YES" shout of the week!

It was my second. My first was when Sergio holed a putt yesterday and did is little fist pump. I'd have Sergio in my team anyday ahead of Casey.

No way will Casey be playing this afternoon.

The top match is first class from both pairs again and Hovland and Wiesberger going along very nicely.

Easy to say in hindsight but not sure where this Hatton-Casey pairing has come from? All the stats from 2018 pointed to them being a fourball team, today they've had three incredible breaks and are still four down. Seems a huge waste having Fleetwood not playing any foursomes, he's in our top 3 ball strikers
