Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

[Backsticks]

Koepka falls out with de Chambeau, Cantley and now Rahm.
There's a common denominator there!

And all because Rahm wouldnt hold hands with him walking down the fairway like Brooks wanted. Rahm thinks, wtf ? Brooks is put out.
Just focus on your golf Brooks. Play better.

Well…That…Was…Epic

Bob looked out of sorts. Not sure we’ll see him tomorrow - though ‘dropping‘ him for a day could be a huge blow,to,his confidence, and he’ll still be needed on Sunday.

lol poor Brookes.

Brooks has big daddy issues. Could easily imagine him enjoying a fetish club night…fishnets, dog collar, chains etc.

Interesting. Europe had the best 5 players. Only Bob and Lowry contaminate a clean sweep for the US at the bottom of the days play.

Spieth playing again in the morning looks like ZJ shooting himself in the foot.

Some interesting stats there, thanks.

Wouldn't be welcome in my club.

A course with eight par threes like this add much more drama and contest than one might expect.

Its like a classic heathland in that yes, there are holes you can rip a driver at - but if you try and miss, you are not making birdie very often.

Until today, Fitzpatrick hadn’t won a RC point.
Sometimes it takes time for players to adjust to the occasion as well as the format.

His putter was red hot

It was. Previously, it wasn’t. The margins of success and failure.

Bit weird this mate,sure it’s Koepka with the issues?

I thought JT justified his place today...didn't do much wrong.

Takes an absolute age over his putts. Holes a few more than he has recently so it is working for him but not great to watch.

Americans claiming there's Covid in the locker room, at least they'll be taking something back across the pond with them on Sunday...

 

[Backache]

On holiday at the moment, current standings look good.
Any truth in the rumours that the Americans have been poisoned?

He was one of their better players, but still - shouldn't he be celebrating a much needed win for the USA tonight - they threw away a winning position from 2 up with a few holes to play.


Rory and Fitz's match was never in doubt but the other three were essentially chucked away by team USA - plenty of people on the thread were commenting that the afternoon looked like it could go 3-1 to the Americans - it looked like that to me at one point.

I think they have some windex to rub on it, they'll be OK.

A) what rumours?
B) how would anyone of here know?

If Covid, maybe they will call off the weekend matches, declare this year void, and reschedule to next year. The weak after the Solheim. Knock-on effect, a 2025 Solheim.
Or, since previous protocol was any players unable to play were paired off with an opponent who stood down, so chances of any comeback would be hampered by the number of matches voided, but a result declared this year at least.

Personally I was worried about Lowry & Straka in the morning, and Rose & Mac in the afternoon - so 1.5 points, brilliant.

Guess Luke was duty bound to stick with the foresomes pairs. Be interesting to see if he sticks to what he says and rests the big names in the afternoon - which could risk a momentum shift.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hovland & Rahm playing 5.

I am usually not a fan of match play, but wow, what a session.

What about if a spaceship lands on the course?

If you don't like that, you can't like golf!
