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

As long as I get to see my "Fan Duel" ads....where's that sarcasm font again....

Phil and BD pairing makes no sense. BD approaches the game like a robot and tries to approach every shot scientifically (literally). Why would you pair him out n alternate shot with a guy who is a total free wheeler on the course?  Fourball would be one thing, but alternate shot is just stupid. Also why no Reed/Spieth pairing?

Spieth/ Thomas looks a ridiculously strong 4some on paper, while Reed was bang average this morning. 

The Mickelson/ BD combo is bizarre though.

The only reason I can think of is Phil has been putting so well this year. Maybe the theory was Phil would carry Bryson on the green and could get them out of trouble if Bryson missed the green which he has been doing. Still I agree with you strange combo.

Another thing better in Europe - I’m watching the Ryder cup with about 5-8 mins of commercials per hour.

Tiger looks a like he needs the afternoon off. Not sure if anyone knows but I would think it would have been better to have a week in between the Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup?

Woods isn't a TEAM player and should have been missed completely. He's got a terrible Ryder Cup record. But as a European we're GLAD he's in the team. More guaranteed points for us 😁

Shouldn’t have any adverts given how much we pay for the subscription.

Meh, Phil can ride the pine IMO, but I agree I’d like to see koepka go out twice tomorrow.

I have not been impressed with Phil's performance lately either.

I got a golf channel in a HD pack so it’s about 20€ per month more for a 100 HD channels so no biggie.

I haven't seen a single ad today on my subscription. Lovely.

Good going this pm. If we can tie the Americans on the fourballs I think that will be the key.

I’d prefer to see Phil sit out. Pretty useless. I hope this ends the ‘throw the vet a bone’ pick.

      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.
