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

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.

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

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 :beer:

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

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.

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.

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.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

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.

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.

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).

    • 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.
