Euros just have too much strength. In the past, I could see a comeback possible. Even in 2010 when we almost pulled it off, the talent was pretty even. But this Euro team is just stacked from top to bottom. I personally feel like you have to go back to the '77 American team when they had Nicklaus, Watson, Wadkins, Irwin, Floyd, Green and Stockton when there was a Ryder Cup team this strong.

Johnny Miller, explaining how to hit a shot off a concrete cart path.... ......"you have to try to slide the club face right under the ball." Really Johnny? REALLY?!. :doh:

Spieth handling G-mac just fine. However, McDowell ALWAYS seems to come alive on the back 9 in match play.

I don't agree. Cheer like crazy, be happy, all fine. Silencing the croud like that, blah. Never saw Poulter do something like that. On the contrary, at 18 at Medinah last day he showed sportmanship when his opponent had to hit but people made to much noice, asking for respect.

Poulter was doing the dagger to the heart after chipping in yesterday. It's fine.

Wait what? 'Boxing' on your Euro sign at your shirt is dagger to the heart? Ah whatever, let's enojoy the golf. Still don't like Reed anyway ;)

Why are they so much better at this than the US? Is there any real reason?

They have 4 guys in the top 6 in the world and 6 in the top 18. That's not including guys like Westwood and Dubuisson who are better than some of our top players. They're just a better team. Also, we don't have the dominant player like Europe has. That hurts on days like today where you need dominance to step up.

Bubba and Simpson have been major disappointments. Would have rather seen Mickelson/Kuchar yesterday morning instead of Watson/Kuchar.

Lol, since today. Don't watch much PGA so had pretty much no opinion at all about him, quite a new player gor me.

Didn't bubba / kutcher play 7 or 8 under? They just ran into an absolute buzz saw in rose/stenson. That match was really really good.

Yep. -8 if that matters. In the stretch where Rose/Stenson went -10 on 10 holes, Watson/Kutcher halved 5 of those holes.

If my math is right, 6 US leads, 2 Euro, 4 AS. That makes 14-14, Euro win by razor's edge. Anything can happen but it sure doesn't feel like a US rally. Why am I pessimistic?

They can't afford to lose that Spieth match. That would be a colossal defeat. You can stick a fork in this team if Jordan can't rally. Leave it to G-Mac and Rose...two of the biggest thorns in our side....to stick it to the Americans in the last 30 minutes.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Ty_Webb ·

      As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game.
