2014 Ryder Cup Discussion Thread

Looks like US will win the front 9 but lose the back 9. Kinda of like the previous morning vs afternoon sessions.

McIlroy is from a different planet... Amazing golf.

[Silent]

Projected scores: 15-13 Europe. Gallacher with a good chance to make it AS now.

McIlroy taking Rickie to the woodshed today. He beat him in Liverpool, beat him at Valhalla and is now beating him at the Ryder Cup. I know we want to see a Rickie-Rory rivalry, but it's not a rivalry when one guy keeps beating the other.

Sky Sports in the UK did a thing where they interviewed all the players, abit of fun, asking them what they would do with certain things, Scottish slang for things etc. Obviously they didn't know what it was, which is why it's abit of fun, Reed came across as a cool chappie.  Mickelson on the other hand, I hope he was having a joke, but he literally said "I don't know what..... is, so I can't answer that question"

I think I like Reed more than Phil after seeing that.

Montie was basically confessing his love for Reed 15 mins ago. What an incredible shot from Rose...wow

G-Mac at 2up, three hles left. Very important to win this one.

[ChrisP]

This thing's taken a turn for the worse big time. It's looking more and more likely we may not even win a majority of the singles matches.

Bad combinations.

We aren't as good.

We aren't as lucky.

We think we are going to lose (no matter what they say).

We can't handle the pressure.

And yes even the "C" word. We choke.

We are the silent Americans...

And after this, we'll all have

That's what it all comes down to. Talent. Europe is just a better team top to bottom. If you caught them off their A-game and we played off the charts, we would have a chance. But if you just saw Rory play and the way G-Mac and Rose have rallied and played in this RC, we're not catching them off their A-game.

Reed back to the tee, cant find his ball.

[Spitfisher]

Is it me? but is it time for someone else to design our uniforms for the ryder cup? The euros look great, especially on friday. Ours looks like they were purchased from Kohls the weekend after the fourth of July on the clearence rack.

I know its Ralph Lauren,but lets face it even Polo players don"t wear Ralph Lauren...Its not authentic.

[Chilli Dipper]

The Americans have been losing the 13th hole all weekend; clearly, the ideal position for the approach is behind those gorse bushes left of the fairway. I don't recognize skinny, bearded Darren Clarke.

Fantastic win from G-Mac. 12-6 now.

It's only a matter of when Europe wraps it up, and who delivers the knockout blow.

[ChrisP]

That Spieth loss was deflating. A win would have lifted the spirits up. Now it's only a guess as to who will clinch the winning putt for Europe. My money's on Sergio or Gallacher.

[ChrisP]

I think Darren Clarke and Fred Couples will be Captaining the teams at Hazeltine in two years. Other possibilities for US include Azinger, O'Meara or Stricker (although I think they'll save Stricker for Whistling Straits in 2020).
