No way back now for Europe after Westwood's predictable miss.

The Americans just can't make putts.  We make a couple putts here or there but it seems as though Europe is automatic from 20ft in

Really? I can think of at least 3 putts that Rory, Westwood and Garcia each missed from less than 5'. That's 9 putts total.

Apparently his right hand is troubling him. On pain killers because of injury, according to Dutch tele.

Did he punch a wall or something?

[skydog]

No Poulter, no GMac, and effectively no Kaymer or Westwood- making things pretty tough for Europe.

I don't think he punched it. He just ran into it.

Weird. He hit a solid drive and great approach. You think a hand injury would affect those more than a short putt.

Gutted for Westy. Make those two putts and we have a chance. As it is I can't see a way back. Too many Europeans struggling, a few have only played once too. 

Reed has been phenomenal. Got to be one of the great RC performances.

Yeah, that's a sucky way to lose a hole.

Rors and Pieters have been playing great too, but Reed carried Spieth for sure.

Not exactly relevant, but those white trousers are horrible. You can see their legs in certain light.

I agree, they looked like camp disco sailors today

What a day of golf, man were there some great shots hit.  Reed has been awesome, hope he continues his play tomorrow.  A lot of fun to watch and Phil gets his mojo back with Kuchar!

They shouted 'fore' when Webb Simpson was teeing off for the first time. According to Rory's critique that's rooting for bad shots. Take off the halo and be honest.

Just saying what I'm seeing, even Reed gestured to them to be quiet during roses putt, I actually like the crowds involvement, it makes the atmosphere what it is, and I'm loving reeds passion, he's like the Ian poulter of the USA! Wasn't aware of the "Fore!" Shout to Simpson, you're always gonna get a few dicks in a crowd, but it does seem a bit hostile at times! Great viewing though!

Can't believe Westwood today. Its a shame because I like Lee but that was a disaster at the end.

What an asshole. 

Our criminal justice system should have a loophole where Rory is allowed to punch him the f--k out, and if every observer agrees that he deserved it, no charges are filed.

Was it the guy who said "you suck"? 

 

Edit: Nevermind.  I wrote that after watching the video but didnt read the headline.  Inappropriate, sure,  but bit of an overreaction by rory.

Some great match-ups for Sunday.

Difficult for Darren's boys but it's been done before.

Rude disgusting and thick!!!!

[Natural Patrick]

I'm not crazy about the pairings. Looks to favor Europe, please let me be wrong.
