Why is that? As a not very good golfer I assume that spin is generated when the club strikes the ball. There doesn't seem to be any physiological difference between men and women that would account for that. Does club speed have any effect and with men generally being stronger and swinging faster that makes a difference?

All else being equal, greater clubhead speed gives greater spin.

Nice that Pedersen gets the point to make it a win rather than just retain. By all accounts here 17 debut set her back a bit in her golf career.

There is no warmth to the Americans at the end of each game. Whether they win or lose there is just nothing from them... Its staid, stiff, congratulations... No warmth to a hug, barely an air kiss, no real acknowledgement of the battle they've been through or the achievement of their opponent.

Yes it's tough when you lose but show a bit of humanity.

The team in the studio would be much more excited but they must be having their dinner or something. Finally the message has got through that it’s a guaranteed 14.5 points.

Best one was whet the comment was made that every half point counted.
She then said “but remember it’s a whole point , because the other team get the other half”
No *** Sherlock.

Meh! Europe won, America tried not to notice.
All in all a seriously enjoyable competition.

My goodness Pedersen…. Lift your shoulders, and nail it… her body language looks likes she’s lost the match!

Much like the Ryder Cup Team Europe seam to be much more of a team than the US who seem to be a collection of individual egos trying to play as a team.
