Some good golf being played this afternoon . Hovland looks like he could be next world number one. Cantlay v Rose is a real humdinger.

Wonder what the record for the top US players is.

So much TV time , so few golf shots shown. Absolutely shite coverage. Too many adverts, focus on the action please.

But then how will these struggling networks make any money? 😉

But seriously though, despite the poor coverage and everyone complaining about it all over social media, people are still watching. It seems like the network is winning this one.

At least there was more excitement. USA gave it a run in singles. But with Ricky down 2 with 2 to play, that seals it for Euro.

I’m glad the US made this somewhat interesting, but there wasn’t really a point where they had a chance:

I’m shocked Rickie gave that putt. I would have made him tap in a 2 inch putt. Who knows, maybe he would break a rule somehow.

They made it a little bit interesting, but never got truly close with Europe only needing half a point from five matches. Statistics of course always pointed towards Europe with that lead, but USA had a chance today. What statistics doesn’t truly capture is momentum and psychology when things are moving the wrong way. I think McIntyre is happy it didn’t have to come down to him.

OK, well that's over. Nothing really surprising. So now we have a week of analyzing the matches and highlights and what if's and so forth. Europe won. Bring on the silly season. Oh, the "tip the non-existing cap" thing got old really quick. They hoisted a gigantic flag of Seve.

Sort of agree. Ever since Kiawah the noise of the crowd has been excessively partisan. There’s almost no appreciation for good golf played by the “other “ side. It’s the same “home” advantage as other sports now. It means though that when that rare away win happens it’s going to be really deserved. 
 

Although if you play as poorly as the US did on the Friday you don’t deserve to win much.

Disagree. 2'8" - good sportsmanship IMO.

This. I don't think it's broken at all.

Bleep sportsmanship. You need all the points. Force them to make a putt under pressure.

    • Day 343 - Mostly worked on pitching, but getting back to my full-swing work, as well.
    • Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills. 
    • Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish.
