I am actually hoping the International team can make it at least interesting. Maybe the US team comes in over-confident? Obviously the LIV golf league has hurt the internationals more than the Europeans.  I find myself actually kind of pulling for the underdogs here.

The best thing going for the internationals is that it’s golf. Highly unexpected results have happened in every sport but with golf it just seems to have a higher probability.

Well it was pretty nice overall save the absolute Norman-like finish by Scheffler and  Burns.

 Scheffler and  Burns was a complete meltdown. The putting was bad down the stretch. 4-1 US. Curious to see how Kis and Billy Ho play tomorrow. Would have thought Kis would have played today due to format. Oh well.

Yeah based on form last 6-12 month Fox should have been in team. Most consistent on European tour of the internationals in that time. Herbert a bit unlucky also as he showed last weekend. As an Aussie who was at Royal Melbourne for a day for the last cup I have little to absolutely no interest in watching this edition. Not allowing Liv players is the ultimate shooting yourself in ones own foot by the PGA for this edition as I'm not keen to watch the internationals getting destroyed which will likely happen. As someone said this is not pro-Liv rather pro best players to make it competitive. If the rules don't change do they think sponsors in Australia will be interested in hosting it here again with players like Smith out and knowing the local team will go down 5-25? PGA needs to relax the rules here for Liv players for the overall good of this comp else I can see it dying in next 10 years if Liv survives and grows.

No. He’s a short hitter.

Correct. I would think 4somes would work well for him. Either way hopefully he plays well tomorrow.

By constantly having to hit longer clubs in or leaving his partner with longer shots?

Four ball is better for a short hitter at this course.

I know. But he earned a lot of points before the shift in the OWGR, and with some top-three finishes in DPWT events that were poorly attended.

I don't think he would have been a better choice than anyone on the team.

He's a nobody to anyone outside of NZ.

I didn't say this Ryan Fox person doesn't play outside of NZ, I said he's unknown outside of NZ.

Literally have never heard of him before. Nobody's mentioned him in the Presidents Cup run-up, etc.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
