Hope we get it done early as the bottom half not filling me with confidence although I'd trust Dubuisson to deliver if he needs the winning putt.

I think the US have missed a trick by not front loading the singles.

Rose is fast becoming my favourite player. Has great passion and desire with such a calm exterior and a lovely smooth swing.
How are the singles decided? Does each captain choose their own running order and it's just pot luck who they face?

Speith, Reed and Fowler have arguably been their best players and they're out front. They might be young and not experienced (in the RC) but those three will give anybody a good test. I'd have stuck Furyk in after them as well, instead of sticking him in the middle. Looks like Watson has put the form players out first, followed by the 'names'. That might be a clever tactic if the first 3 deliver.
Can't understand why Dubuisson has been kept out of the mix for us, although you could argue the anchor man role might be vital. I feel he's been playing well enough to get an early point on the board. I'd have pushed him up the board and put Bjorn closer to the back.
There's quite a few decent games on paper for tomorrow and I still think this could be a close one, but wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

They do know, but back in the mid 70's when they played two singles in the day, Jack Nicklaus insisted he played against Brian Barnes again, beacause Barnes beat him in the moring. Barnes beat him again in the afternoon, and Nicklaus was none to happy. Supposedly the only time the draw was fixed.

Found myself cheering the Americans today. Wish the score line had been a bit closer. Europe should close it out easy enough. I'd rather see a close final day rather than Europe talking about record winning margins.

Not quite same for me, was cheering hard in the final session, but once it was done did feel maybe would have preferred it to be closer going into final day, for the spectacle.
Will expect some early red on the board though just to have us feeling a doubt or two.

I would love to see lots of blue on the board early and for us to smash them and put up a record score

It's only Golf Phil, you almost sound as if you have issues with their race?

It's only a comment on a golf forum, you almost sound as if you're trying to stir it up.

I expected this thread to be full of excitement with loads of fms discussing the golf. Instead it's been tumbleweed interspersed with arguments.
I'll watch the final day with friends at my club and give the forum a miss.

That appears to be the correct assumption :thup:

Mine was only a comment on a Golf Forum. I just don't like to hear that type of comment regarding Americans, I have an American Son and Grandsons and as much as I still want Europe to win I don't agree with that type of comment.
I guess its the type of thing that is normal in sports like Football these days so understandable.

You decided to bring "race" into it when its a sports contest where i want the team i support to smash the team they are playing
To even suggest or try and bring race into it says more about the level you are willing to drop to to stir things up - think thats quite disgraceful.

It's a Team, not a Race.. The Euros won't actually be "Smashing" America.. You do realize this don't you?

Yes, I do. I just get a bit annoyed by some of the anti American posts here sometimes. Best to leave it at that.

But it wasn't Anti-American.. It was Pro-European.. I want the Euros to Smash them tomorrow. Then I want them to all shake hands and agree that it was a great contest between 2 Sporting Superpowers.. It's Sport, not Life...:thup:
