Europe should win, but they won't......my prediction is that is somehow comes down to the singles match between golden boy Rory McIlroy and the darth vader of golf, Tiger Woods.....and McIlroy gets his ASS handed to him...on the 15th green (where the match finishes), Tiger says...."Until you win a major, you are simply a minor-leaguer to me...fancy that"

Seems like there's a lot of pull for Rory and Rickie facing each other in singles, which would be pretty great.

USA will pull off the upset again and win. I have faith in the guys. I just hope Cink doesn't see much action. He's good in singles (I think) but that's about it.

I think that Europe should win since they can set their course up.... but I also have faith in our team. There has been so much talk this year about Americans falling off in golf, that I can just feel a beating coming!!

Europe. U.S. should have retained Azinger as captain. I have not been impressed in the least so far in Pavin as captain, based on what I hear from him in the media; he's definitely not the most articulate and confident speaker I've heard. Plus Europe is back home and this should be enough to put them over the top.

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry

I agree...I admit I am a huge Tiger fan (regardless of his off course antics) but just like Stephen Ames before Rory, etc... I see Tiger getting the chance for 1 on 1 with Rory...and giving him his A game. Would be very exciting to see.

Kinda hard to see Europe losing. On their home course. Everything is really lining up for them. With all that....watch them lose! LOL One thing the US team will have going for it is they will go in (I anticipate) as the underdog with nothing to lose.

I am looking forward to it.

Well my heart is with the red, white, & blue. But if I have to put my wallet up I'd have to go with Europe. But there is hope, Europe has Monty as Captain.

I am not sure. Being an american, I can't say Europe is going to win but they look good. Cink?? Really. What a bad pick. I am excited though, it is the best golf event by far IMO for viewing. GO USA!!!

There is another thread on this but I agree. I would have picked JB myself. But Cink can play and I hope he does.

    • Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago. 
    • I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree. 
    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
