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

Gotcha. Yeah they're showing that match now, didn't get to see that shot though.

thanks!

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.

"It's getting late early." Yogi Berra

The U.S. side is up against again. Many a Ryder Cup the EUROS  just take an early lead after Day 1 and put on unrelenting pressure.

Furyk/Mahan, Watson/Kuchar have to find a way to scratch out halves or else the singles climb tomorrow will be Everest like.

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.

I just don't see all 3 matches turning into the US favor. Would be great if it did, but likely it won't. If we could get a win from Spieth/Reed and turn one of those deficits into a half, that would be great. Of course, 9-7 is still a tough deficit tomorrow. You would need 7.5/12 points to win back the Cup. THat's a lot against a European team that is very talented.

Thank Goodness Stenson is sitting out this afternoon because Kaymer is bringing Rose back down to earth. Kaymer is missing putts left and right.

Pfff, flight Kaymer/Rose is missing a lot of chances. Maybe it's an advantage Spieth/Reed didn't see last few holes the whole weekend :-P

As a standalone, made-for-tv event, this event is okay. But it's a blip on the radar in the career of a player.  Just IMHO.

For Tiger, I would agree. But for the rest of these guys I think it's pretty important. However I think any one of them would exchange a Ryder Cup for a major.

This Westwood match is killing us. Now you're asking for Spieth/Reed to hang on and need Furyk/Mahan to make up ground on Rory/Sergio. That's tough.

I'd be willing to say that this weekend is doing wonders on people's opinion of Patrick Reed, for one.

Whether there's a reasonable chance to win rests on Furyk/Mahan now and that assumes Spieth/Reed hang-on which is no gimme yet. This could get ugly for the U.S. side in an eye-blink.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
