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?

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!

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • 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.
    • Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question. 
    • Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.  
    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
    • I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
