I think Koepka has the game to pair with anyone. Excellent ballstriker (esp. off tee) and good putter.

I could see ways for Phil/Rickie to work, but have to concede that he's just too wayward for the format and all that time in the rough seems to wear his partner down a bit. They would have been better used in fourball. I would have preferred Moore for foursomes too. It will be interesting to see if there's any explanation of the pairings after the fact. 

He's definitely put himself back into the Big 3 / 4 discussion, which I figured he would after he got over his ankle layoff.

Is it me or does Brooks Koepka look totally annoyed with doing interviews?

In the conversation?! More like Rory is proving that he's the best player on the planet.

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 getting back there, but runs of form flow and ebb. If he can sustain this through next year, I'd agree. He's clearly one of the best match players.

Sergio making a case for one of best Ryder Cup performers in the modern era - may eclipse Seve's career record.

Huge bomb by Rory.

No, Rory is not proving he is the best player on the planet. LOL

Who's better? In my view he is the best, but it is all a matter of opinion

Day for 2 years of results, DJ for this year plus he took Rory at the match play event head-to-head. Current form, I'd give the nod to Rory. But DJ is close.

Has he had a better year than Dustin Johnson ?

No. But he is a better player. And he has a better career record.

I thought we were talking about this year? To your point though, it's all a matter of opinion.

Exactly. All I can say for certain is that they are both better than me!

The boy Pieters can play!

Haven't signed in in a long time (will try to contribute more from now on) but had to come back to cheer for team Europe.
Thomas Pieters sometimes practices at my home club. Can't believe what you see when you see players like that hit balls...

I wasn't a big fan of Reed's but he's winning me over with his intensity during the Ryder Cup and in the last Presidents Cup.

Why not? He's your best player.

He seems to be the leader in the Spieth pairing. I noticed  in the morning game that they were using a Callaway ball and not titleist-presumably Reed's choice and not Spieth;s.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
