Re: Ryder Cup
No question. But he brings a different vibe to the Montys and Langers, I imagine. Determined and experienced Im sure. Probably calm under pressure. Could you envisage him rallying and driving the team to an incredible comeback like we just saw? What do people think? Delighted for him and he certainly deserved his candidacy on merit. Just interested to see how he'll pan out.
Re: Ryder Cup
Why shouldn't he do well. He's popular, a Ryder Cup legend, understands team golf as good as anyone. His ego will not be factor like Montys might have been. I think the team will be highly motivated and Paul will know just how to channel it.

Re: Ryder Cup
Europe off to a great start, with some amazing clutch putts sprinkled over some terrible approach play. Hard to know if it's just both sides struggling with links at this time of year or if it's just the woeful course.
FIFA getting hammered for picking Qatar and Russia for the WC, but little is made of dumps like this getting chosen consistently for RCs and BOs. Roll on RD - a proper golf course!

Re: Ryder Cup
Tomorrows singles match ups:
Amazing golf out there today. Rose in particular in the morning session was simply sensational. Rory found his form and played on his own against two brilliant yanks until Poulter finally got going near the end. Gmac and Dubusisson just steam rolled their opponents in the foursomes.
Rory v Fowler, that's gonna be a biggie!Singles matches (Tee times BST):
11:36: Graeme McDowell v Jordan Spieth
11:48: Henrik Stenson v Patrick Reed
12:00: Rory McIlroy v Rickie Fowler
12:12: Justin Rose v Hunter Mahan
12:24: Stephen Gallacher v Phil Mickelson
12:36: Martin Kaymer v Bubba Watson

Re: Ryder Cup
Looking at those match ups, you'd swear that SKY & NBC made them. Too much EU talent out late. VD starting last is a joke. He's been the player of the series with Speithblockhead wrote:Tomorrows singles match ups:Rory v Fowler, that's gonna be a biggie!Singles matches (Tee times BST):

Re: Ryder Cup
No, Rose has been the player so far. GMac, Stenson, Rory and Rose (6 majors) is a very strong start. Paul McGinley obviously wants to get blue on the board early to quell any US "Brookline" type comeback.The Anathemata wrote:Looking at those match ups, you'd swear that SKY & NBC made them.

Agreed on the too much talent out late for Europe part, but about 5 of the Europeans have been poor to middling i.e Gallacher, Kaymer, Bjorn, Garcia & Poulter. Kaymer and Garcia were absolute stink in this afternoon's foursomes. Might be closer than one would like. Just sayin

Rose has been fantastic, but given VD and Spieth's are debutantes I'd have them both ahead. VD hasn't even been taken beyond 16 at this point.
Dross like Gallagher should never have been there to begin with - Luke is really missed. Anything to placate the non-country that is Scumland. God, how i'll laugh when those *** edited by mod *** sing 'Flower' in the 3N (Ire, Eng, IT) next year.

Whatever Scotland and the Scottish people are, they are not a race. Nothing I have said is or could be construed as racist.

Re: Ryder Cup
16.5 to 11.5 Europe.
Great days golf. Rory again magnificent (7 under for the front 9), Donaldson was just about perfect. If ye didn't see his winning shot then check out the highlights tonight on the beeb. Well done Paul McGinley- super Dub.
