I am! Day off from my second job, perfect timing. 

Really loving it so far. The Spieth/Reed pairing looks really, really good.

Putting the difference so far.

Pieters looks really nervous, I think dj and kuch might run away with that match.

Reed and spieth looking sharp.

ZJ and Walker not so much.

Perhaps the morning matches will come down to Michelson/Fowler and Rory/Sullivan

[GolfLug]

Wish I could have taken the day off..

Pieters looks like he's about to pee his pants. Someone needs to tell him that the reason Europe is so good is because they're usually the looser of the two teams.

This is the 1st time in a while i've actually felt you yanks have got the edge. Dont get me wrong, the teams have always been well matched, but europe has always seemed a little stronger to me. 

We lack in the experience department this time round, sure there are some good golfers in the squad, but thr Ryder Cup is a very different beast compared to your average tournament.

You never know, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick might play their socks off for a win. fingers crossed.

Kudos for spelling.  You know, though, that there are a ton of people confused by your post and going "huh?  Europe is usually the winner of the two teams."

Did Europe always seem a little stronger to you, prior to 1985 ?

[Hazsa]

A tonne of poor golf being played, mostly by a few Europeans it must be said.

I was only 5 years old in '85 so i' couldnt tell you 

I think for me, when europe have lost, its been a case of "on paper the team looked very strong". Problem is, whats on paper sometimes doesnt translate to the course.

We have quite a few rookies in the squad but that just has to happen at times. The old hands have to move on and the new blood has to take over.

Whoo boy, that Tiger commercial got me fired up! I'm glad he's a part of the Ryder Cup team. I think he's been a good addition to the brain trust.

Things are going about as well as the Americans could have hoped for so far. Up in three matches, and only 1-down in the weakest pairing.

I don't think split-screen commercials work for golf as they may in other sports.

[Hazsa]

This is irresistible from the Americans. We'll be lucky to go into the Fourballs just 3-1 down at this rate.

Old Man Mickelson has to request the "large print" edition of the Hazeltine yardage book. Do those maps also show him where the nearest Cracker Barrels are?

Split screen commercials work fine for me.Is it messing up your favorite commercials?
