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."

Does anyone else thing that taking nearly 4 hours to play 16 holes, with just two balls in play, is pretty dang slow?

Considering what is a stake. Probably about average for Tour Players.

Four-ball pairings:

Spieth/Reed vs. Rose/Stenson

Holmes/Moore vs. Garcia/Cabrera-Bello

Snedeker/Koepka vs. Kaymer/Willett

D. Johnson/Kuchar vs. McIroy/Pieters

Can't see the wisdom in holding back Wood and Fitzpatrick. Can't do much worse than the guys this morning. 

Rose, Kaymer, and Garcia were all very poor. I'll be surprised if we see Westwood again before Sunday.

In that case, what kind of time should we expect for the fourball matches? Five and a half?

Fitzpatrick doesn't really have the length for fourball does he? I thought Westwood was on form? On paper that was a very lopsided match and Pieters had first-timer nerves.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Westwood out for one more before singles.

@DaveP043 I would expect 3.5 hours for the foursomes, but it is what it is.

I'll be astounded, and very pleasantly pleased, if they can go around playing four balls in less time than they took while playing only two balls.

Me too, but I was agreeing with you that the pace was a bit slow for the foursomes.

Westwood looked really out of sorts. Tee to green was shocking by his standards, and putting was what we've come to expect I guess. Maybe I'd send him out with Garcia tomorrow morning.

I liked what little of Pieters I saw after a nervy opening couple of holes.

Could be more matches on the clock, and pace of play becoming a topic for conflict.  I'd hate to see that over shadow the actual golf.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
