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.

I think there's at least a dozen reasons you could add to that list

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.

Seems like it's only a matter of time before Europe wins. Basically Mahan needs to beat Rose if we have any shot of continuing.

Reed needs to win his match to have any prayer. A half and it's over.

US needed that full point to have the slightest of chances.

Game, set, match.

Edit: Or not....wow....did not see Stenson missing that.

Yes! Had a feeling Stenson was going to yank it...

Overall the US Team wasn't able to make shots under pressure and just didn't seem up for the challenge.

I give props to Patrick Reed, he came to play and could be the US version of Poulter.  His performance this year at the Ryder Cup has made me a fan.

If we could only have that Spieth match back. That was a killer. At the very least it would have taken it down to the last few matches. With Kaymer about to win, the US needs to run the table.

Donaldson looks like a winner over Keegan, so it is pretty much over.

Keegan needs to get his head back into it or you're right, it's over.  Still time for him to win, but it's not looking good.

Could you say team USA did not exploit Euro's weakness? Björn , Gallacher, Westwood, to me the weaker players. Watson, Bradley, disappointing.

Assuming Donaldson and Kaymer win, that's 14. The US would literally have to somehow win the other 6 outright just to tie. That, my friends, is what I'd call a miracle.

Watson wasn't the right captain for this team, once again Europe made the better captain selection.   Bubba should have saved us the cost of his plane ticket and just forfeited his matches.

Gallacher actually played pretty well today, it's just that Mickelson was really good. Feel sorry for the guy. And Rose will win this hole! Making it a halve.

      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.
