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.

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.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
