McIlroy is letting the spectators get under his skin. On the other hand it seems to give him that extra something.

I'm not really sure what your big hangup with this is.  The Ryder Cup is a team event (and an exhibition with no money on the line mind you).  Do you not cheer when your favorite football/soccer team'

On another note, when is the PGA going to wake up to picking US venues that may favor the American squad a little more from a weather standpoint? Basically the entire team lives in South Florida and v

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."

He's using it as an inspiration. And why not?

I would love to see a Reed-Rory match tomorrow.

Reed is a good match player and has good mindset, but honestly it would be smarter to send a sacrificial lamb. Rors is en fuego. Weak putting Rory might have been vulnerable, but every part of his game is on today following picking up the level in yesterday's match.

He'd beat anyone unless he wakes up fatigued tomorrow, which doesn't look likely. Unless that missed short putt gets to him. But that's not likely - his big miss with driver didn't affect his long game. His proximity due to his long straight driving is giving him plenty of looks and he's draining enough of them even with a gack here or there.

Rory doesn't play the heel well, looks like he's going to cry.

The rational side of me thinks you're probably right but the emotional/patriotic side just really wants to imagine how awesome and demoralizing it would be for Europe to see Reed rolling in putts on top of Rory.

I don't think there is any question who the better putter is.

I don't think his parading is anti-American per-se, but more of a re-enactment of a distasteful style experienced in his junior days with a rather loud/demonstrative Billy Horschel. He knows he's on form and sort of giving a 'see how it feels'. The sacrificial lamb would make him feel a little less like sticking it to the loudmouths in the crowd, but he'd still probably win.

I think Reed and Spieth's match would be much closer if Rose and Stenson hadn't played so much. I totally owe a nod of respect to the guy who said Reed was too low on my list of Captain's picks. He definitely elevates his game. Problem is that Rory can too and his baseline is much higher to start with on ballstriking and while I think putting is more important than typical in match play ballstriking (esp good driving) still matters more.

Looking like a very smart pick.

Absolutely. Before this season I was hoping for an other Dutch speaking player, but no way he could have done better :-)

      St. Louis Area Golfers?

      By Pretzel ·

      Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping.

      I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.
