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.

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
