Well played team Europe, and well done Bjorn who obviously knows his stuff better than most of us give him credit for. Great tournament 👍

I think the posts about it being an exhibition and players not caring is sour grapes.  The players care (especially the younger guys)  they just lost.  No excuses about it they just need to play bette

There is a classic management mistake known as "hoping for A while rewarding for B." As you note, we hope that our players will perform well on one type of course, while we select them based on their

US is sitting Phil, Bryson, Bubba, and Webb. I'm not sure I like sitting Webb for fourball, because he has made a lot of birdies and eagles this year.

Europe is sitting Poulter, Garcia, Stenson, Noren. I'm surprised Europe is sitting Poulter.

Rahm-Finau - battle of the players that seem to hit the ball extremely far with strangely abbreviated backswings..

Speaking of Reed....I missed the opening ceremonies but TC was saying that Reed got booed when he got introduced ??😂

 

As expected. Somewhat unexpected from the Euro crowd: Tiger received a huge ovation and "Tiger" chants that lasted a pretty long time.

No, we Euros respect Tiger a lot. Off course he gets well deserved ovations.

Really? Tiger Woods? The guy with 80 wins and 14 majors? The guy that just won his 80th after years of injuries and struggles. The GOAT? I'd be surprised if he didn't get ovations.

I was so disappointed today. Forgot that the RC is a three-day event.

Good. 

 

I’ll be cheering for America, my home, except for when Patrick Reed is playing. I will always root against Reed

 

Edit: just saw Reed and Tiger are paired together. Hugely disappointing pairing. I hate to root against Tiger, for whom I have great respect, but to hell with Patrick Reed

I see it going well for the U.S.

Hopefully.

Patrick Reed was kicked out of UGA for stealing from his teammates. He was also reputedly a cheater during his time there. He has a poor reputation around these parts.

 

I’ve never been so upset about the winner of a golf tournament as I was when he won the Masters. Least deserving Green Jacket winner ever

It had the betting odds, just wanted to get an idea of what the bookies thought. The line on the Reed/Woods match was interesting, I thought Reed/Woods would be more favored.

Molinari and Fleetwood might be the two best ball strikers on the European team. Woods is obviously the greatest ball striker of all time, but Reed isn't in same league as the other 3. I'm not surprised it's that close. 

I'm actually a little surprised Rahm and Rose are favored over Koepka and Finau. Pretty significantly, too. Interesting.

It’s corroborated by one of the coaches on the team. Basically everyone he played with in college says he’s a scumbag. Most of the players on tour dislike him. Maybe there’s something to it?

I'm busy tomorrow morning through early afternoon so I arranged my sleep schedule so I can get at least 2-3 hours of action tonight. Very excited.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
