I predict the Euro team will come flying out of the gate, and the thing will go down to the final singles matches on Sunday. The USA will start slow, but with the rookies and experienced golfers, they'll win. Not saying the Euro team is bad by any means, just have a feeling about the USA team. I'm just looking for some good matches and TW ruining any opponents week (for the first time this year). Cheers!

There is plenty of "over the top" from both sides on occasion. Belfry ring a bell?

Nothing close to what the US did. Sunday of 99 was seen as a dark day for the ryder cup - the birth of the 'golf hooligan'

That 'birth of the golf hooligan' was made by veteran Alistair Cook. Don't be ignorant either. British FOOTBALL*

Europe better come home with the trophy. After all, they're the ones with two brothers on the team and although none talks about the Molinaris, I think they'll play very well.

So if you're 18 or 19 years old right now, that means you would have been somewhere around the age of 8-9 when the 1999 Ryder Cup took place. So you're knowledge of all of the "hooligan" acts that took place during the tourney has come from only coverage that has been replayed. And being that you live in the UK, the coverage of that Ryder Cup in particular has probably been biased towards the European team. You're right in that their were some people that should have definitely been kicked out for comments and their ridiculous behavior in 1999, but its nothing that hasn't been done before. Get over it, move on. Lets just hope this Ryder Cup can actually be played completely and everyone plays well to the end. Cheers.

Well I would think the changed schedule of sessions would favor Europe as the foursomes is an event that I am sure Cory would like to not have everyone one on the US team play. But the wet course conditions favor the US as long as it isn't raining and blowing hard. Should be harder to bump and run and make the course longer. So while I originally thought Europe was the favorite I now think it is a 50/50 bet. But the all foursomes session (session 2) will be telling.

    • 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.
