Fowler/Walker look like toast. Walker lost his mojo it seems. Didn't expect that from him. Looks like we need Furyk and Mahan to get hot.

They also ran into a tough opponent. McDowell/Dubuisson are on fire. Just like I was surprised Watson didn't play Spieth/Reed yesterday, I'm surprised McGinley didn't play G-Mac/Dubuisson more often. Both played really well in the Match Play in March.

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.

haha yeah. I'm impressed. Like I said in the other thread, this is the one week out of the year I root hard for him and become a Reed fan. Would have liked to see him and Spieth play all four rounds.

We can't lose 3 of these 4. If we do, we're going have to do what Europe did 2 years ago and I don't see that happening. This is a crucial moment in the Ryder Cup right now.

Definitely. We need two points bad. Then tomorrow is shaping up to be awesome. However, if Europe gets three points, that will be extremely difficult. Z. Johnson just made a nice putt!

Just look at their match play history. They both played really well in the Match Play this year and have a good match play history in other Cup appearances.

Just wanted to say (see youedit your post): Dubuisson was very good in world match play, and in EurAsia Cup also won his fourballs match (with.... Joost Luiten :-P)

This Johnson/Kuchar match is HUGE. Need to win.

Yeah, I edited because I wasn't entirely sure of their Cup history and didn't want to be wrong. I thought they've played well in match play before, but don't have the stats in front of me to look up.

Good news is that 3 matches are on the back 9 and the margin is only 1UP for all 3. US could conceivably go on a roll here and run the tables. Bad news is that the Euros could too, and put this thing outta reach most likely.

I don't see us winning that McIlroy match. Rory is hot this afternoon. Only hope is Sergio starts choking.

I think Kooch and Zacko are going to get at least a halve out of their match, and hopefully the rookies hold off Rose and Kaymer. 9-7 Europe at the end of the day?

What happened? I don't think the US coverage has shown anything yet.

That would be best scenario at this point.

USA in trouble on that hole; instead of playing save Garcia goes for it and misses the green.

Technically, Furyk/Mahan are still very much in their match, but it's hard to see the breaks going their way, although Sergio's starting to play head games with himself.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
