Okay. The rain pants comment was not directed at you. I thought that was obvious. Apparently I was wrong. We'll move on now yes?

The U.S. are going to win. That much is a virtual certainty. If anyone has any interest, post here and we'll do a live chat like we've done in the past.

Who wants to participate in a live chat?

I would participate, but I guess it's possible that I would miss the first couple of holes

USA held on, Norman's got to deal with another disappointment.  Good for Furyk, 5-0.  Tiger played well and clinched it.  Could be the boost that Tiger needed after the last 2 years.  Freddy was asked if he'll captain again and said he would if he was asked.

Watching Brandel talk about Tiger,  "It's not the swing changes it's in his DNA.  He could take lessons from Jim Furyk and in 2 years come out and beat everyone's butt"

One thing I've been wondering, do you think the U.S. plays better in the Prez Cup than in the Ryder Cup or are the Europeans that much better as a team?

Is there anywhere on the PGA tour or another site that shows each individual player's point totals- I know I could tally it up myself, but am feeling lazy

Brandel is just a tosser. Everybody's worked that out by now. And yes Europe is just that much better. I mean you just have to look at the world rankings, there is no comparison.

And here is the recap of the last round, enjoy! ;)

Maybe if Brandel just waived his magic fairy wand, threw some pixy dust in the air, and then did a jig around Tiger while he lay peacefully sleeping in his bed, Tiger would win majors again.

Agreed on Europe just being the much better side. I think the avg. world ranking (not that that really matters, but it's interesting) of the Internationals was something like 35. Plus, the Euros don't have any glaring weak links like a Robert Allenby, even though you can hide weak-links better in the Ryder Cup based on the format.

And I think it's a lot more natural for the Euros to feel solidarity against the US side, as Greg Norman alluded to in his post-presser.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to say that the live chat last night was a lot of fun. And it was great to see Tiger snipe some putts too. Good times.

Baddeley is obviously hitting it so much better with those big misses off the tee too. lol.

Euro's thrive on Ryder....Intl's could give two ####'s about Pres IMHO.....Like any rivalry....If one team continuously knocks the snot out of the other.....Is that a rivalry?

[makaveli]

Would the US team prefer to win Ryder of Pres Cup? Of course Ryder Cup. Why? Because they do feel the rivalry there. imho.

Examples? Would have Mahan fluffed the chip in a Pres Cup due to pressure? Dont't think so. Would have he cried in the press room? Not at all! imho.

Congrats to both team, the President Cup is always a fun tournament to watch. Let's see what will happen at Medinah 2012! :)
