I can admit when im wrong...I though Fowler/Rory would be closer and I also thought Rose would annihilate Mahan.

Rory is showing today why he's the best player in the world and why Rickie just isn't in his league yet. This is a good ole butt whooping.

This has gotta be eating away at Horshel. Hopefully his success continues and he makes the next team. I really think he is the type of guy that would thrive at the RC. He has the moxie that this team needs.

Agree on Horschel. I never liked the Captain's pick process. Always thought they should pick one after the Duetsche Bank, one after the BMW and then one after the TOUR. Simpson, Bradley and Mahan were picked on form up to the Barclays, but all 3 guys absolutely shat the bed the last few tourneys and I think Watson would most definitely had changed his mind if he got to pick after the BMW and TOUR.

"Silenced the crowd" after making a putt to halve the hole. He put his index finger up to his mouth looking at the crowd.

Very pleased with Hunter's play so far today. He looks comfortable against a damn good opponent.

Bubba and Rickie on the other hand dont look like they know how to play competitive golf today.

To pull off a miracle YOU HAVE to win the first match. It's a message to the rest of the team. Spieth is doing that so far. Could be very reminiscent of 2010 when the US trailed 9.5-6.5 going into Monday in Europe and got off to a hot start and tied it at 13.5 to 13.5. But G-Mac closed out the final match to win it. US needs to build on these 1-UP leads to give the guys some confidence.

And they need Simpson to earn his worth. That was putrid.

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.

Yeah I have no problem with it at the RC. Its just funny cause Reed still is a jackass and now he is putrid on this hole.

Also, real nice of Bubba to play well......

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

I think Americans are more individualistic in general. Golf is an individual game offcourse, but in this concept it's a team game. If I look at the Olympics and World Cups, I always see a lot of Americans win gold, but in team sports much less...

    • 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.
    • 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.
