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."

Looks like he's been hitting the ball well. Not reading putts or executing so great, though. Decent, but not spectacular fight in that fourball session.

He really has been. He was supposed to be our biggest gun coming in and has been nothing but a liability.

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

Haha, it's funny how fans see it. I was just saying the same thing to my gf about Americans making more putts than us (she didn't care).

Like him or not, Reed is doing all the work in that match.

Haven't seen much of Spieth...

Hard to show off those putting talents when you're constantly not hitting fairways or greens

Agree.
He can't seem to get his ball off the tee and on the fairway...

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

Ah, ok, didn't get that. 
Oh well, Reed didn't really need him today, it seems. How good is he playing?

Out of his mind good.  He was made for this type of golf.

Those Westwood putts on 17 and 18 can turn out to be quite important. Damn...

      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.
