What happened on #2 that got Rory "fired up"?

And what's up with Tiger's driving?  Every time I see Stricker, he's hitting an approach shot from behind some trees

Edit: McIlroy/McDowell just went 2up on the 10th hole and the announcers mentioned something about the Americans' questioning of a ruling backfiring against them.  So I assume that's a reference to whatever happened on the 2nd.

Haha, my cell phone keeps auto-correcting stricker's name as "atrocity" in text messages. Pretty fitting.

I wonder if DL3's strategy is to keep Tiger and Stricker together to prevent them from ruining other matches. Limit the damage to one match instead of two.

Rory had a long, beautiful chip in for birdie. Tiger drove it bad at the final rounds of the Tour Championship. Seems he's not been able to fix it yet.

GMac didn't get a drop from a sprinkler head, might be that.

Tigers driving - something to do with compressions - someone was trying to explain it yesterday.

He's all over the place but Stricker isn't much better, he found water on the 2nd.  Americans off to a poor start.

If I was to kill myself, it would be probably be after watching Keegan Bradley prepare for a shot......

Yeah, either him or Rory. How many freaking times do you need to look up at the hole?  Wish more guys played like Sneds

Tiger is falling apart. The bad tee shots, the duffed chip. Is it too late to trade him for Hunter?

Yeah, I'd hate to emulate anything Rory does.

It's early, but I don't like looking at the standings board and seeing no stars and stripes.

Keegan Bradley just closed out the match on 15 thanks to a 30-foot birdie putt . Mickelson and Bradley win the first point for Team USA!

As much flack as American crowds have been getting around TST this season, you can't deny the roars and chants on the course so far. I'm charged up, feeling the energy and I'm just sitting here watching on my laptap!

Foursome is traditionally the Euro's strength. To finish the morning no worse than 2-2 is huge for USA.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
