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."

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


He's doing great. A bit nervous yesterday at the start but very solid now.

Hope he can keep this up for the remainder of the holes and for tomorrow's singles.

PGA Tour keeps tweeting McIlroy, in full leonine lion roaring Rory mode. Just let it out, McIlroy, let those repressed feelings go :-P

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

The American fans are the rowdiest bunch I've ever seen, I don't recall the USA players receiving so much grief at Gleneagles, there's been some pretty poor behaviour IMO.

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.

That wasn't a couple of idiots cheering that ball into the water. That was hundreds, if not thousands. Doesn't sit right with me.

Rory is usually a nice guy, but after that exchange with DJ trying to throw him off his shot with BS over who's away that moniker may fit Rors too today. Now who's looking like a hyper-competitive jerk?

If you play the heel expect to get a reaction from the crowd.  I was in my house cheering Rory's ball heading into the water.

Cheering against the opponent is what goes on in EVERY other team sport...I don't think team golf should have to be any different. It's a different animal than individual golf and I think is allowed to be treated differently. If I were in those stands I don't think I'd be vocally doing it, but as long as folks aren't shouting in back swings or the like, then I don't think it's totally out of line.

No, I don't expect it. USA has had plenty of assholes playing up to the crowd in Europe, and I've never heard anything remotely like this.

Anyway, USA really impressive in the last hour. That second match is huge.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
