Solheim Cup

Sorry girls, but that was utter garbage. Pressure too much for our ladies?

The mind is a wonderful thing, as someone used to say....

I think at four down they played freely with nothing to lose but tensed up on 18 realising they could actually win it. Amateur psychology, don't you love it! :D

That's my take on it. Suddenly they might just win and the pressure took its toll.
 
The cheering has made a mockery of the guys getting stroppy because they heard a camera shutter. One girl yesterday encouraged the crowd to make some noise while she tee'd off on the 1st and smashed the ball just twice to land on the green.
 
Has anyone seen enough of Michelle Wie's putting to comment on how bad it must have been previously?

The "table top" thing has meant to have significantly improved her putting but it is still rank poor.

Haven't seen her holing many long ones but neither missing any wee ones. She has struggled with the putter over the years. The more unconventional the technique the more the player has had to work to find a way of putting, I think. Seems to be a lot of chat that she's underachieved given her ability.

Hard to know whether she has under achieved or not. The hype was ridiculous for her and being forced into playing with the men was terrible for her.

Rarely do you see good putters that have had to resort to something "funky"

thats interesting, didnt know she was 'forced', who forced her?
 
That doesn't mean some haven't tried them!

Disappointingly (well maybe not so this week!), Wie seems to simply be a (relatively) poor putter! The rest of her game is rather good though!

She's tried everything! You'd have to to resort to her current technique! She's actually putting not too badly but when you compare her with some of the others who are rolling them in from everywhere you can tell why she's been looking for something....
