Ryder Cup - Predict the Singles

[FairwayDodger]

Hard to see Europe picking up the 8 (or 8.5) points needed. Here's my (optimistic) guesses for each match:

Bubba Watson v Luke Donald - HALF
Webb Simpson v Ian Poulter - POULTER
Keegan Bradley v Rory McIlroy - MCILROY
Phil Mickelson v Justin Rose - MICKELSON
Snedeker v Lawrie - HALF
D Johnson v Colsaerts - COLSAERTS
Z Johnson v McDowell - MCDOWELL
Furyk v Garcia - GARCIA
Dufner v Hanson - DUFNER
Kuchar v Westwood - KUCHER
Stricker v Kaymer - STRICKER
Woods v Molinari - WOODS

That'd be 6 each and with the top loading would make it exciting for a while and restore a bit of pride but not good enough.

I think we will get very close but lose out by half a point. If we start charging early on the yanks will be so shell shocked we might sneak it but i think we will just miss out. Hope im wrong.

When you look at the draw it looks well balanced .........6 matches each but I would not like to call any of them.

Good pick by Olly......if Europe win the first four anything could happen, if not the ba's burst.

Yeah, did say I was being optimistic! Pessimistically a USA whitewash isn't out of the question!

I've got it with plenty of blue early on but I thing the task is too great overall.

A severe shagging will be the nett result.

T.V this morning building it up to be a 'special' day.........aye,maybe if you are a Yank.

The Yanks will take a minimum 8 points today in a heartbeat.

 

[FairwayDodger]

The Yanks will take a minimum 8 points today in a heartbeat.

Difficult to disagree. Europe need a miracle.

 

[gripitripit]

Europe need to buy a truck load of putts..... How many have lipped out or just stopped short. So frustrating.

 

[North Mimms]

Any chance Europe can get long putters banned before 5pm?

Justin rose will beat mickleson and colsearts will beat Johnson, tiger will beat molinari but I have us 9-3! Win!

If Europe get 8 points I'll play our next captains day in pink trousers and tshirt, and visor!
I hope we can muster the points but just can't see it!
