Dudes.

 

Okay, thank you Rickie.

There's plenty of time but man, watching the US team consistently do this kind of shit in Europe is exhausting.

US needs to get something going this morning. Not looking too sharp so far but we're only a few holes in.

Whats wrong with Tiger? Walks the speed of a turtle.

[Aguirre]

Finau seems to be getting a bit stuck behind the ball.

They say he's fine, but maybe it's a bit of age showing, cold weather, stiffness, not playing too well.

[Aguirre]

Watching the Ryder Cup reminds me of watching my Steelers play the Patriots.

It’s really not difficult to see why guys don’t exactly flourish when playing with him. His grumpiness must be exhausting.

Casey doing a Spiethy 😊

[Aguirre]

I mean, this is embarrassing, yet again.

[Aguirre]

Tiger! Let's hope that starts a gigantic US charge to, uh, split the morning matches.

Yeah, he's never struck me as a particular team player. He's played in most of these team events, but he's given off the impression of being an individualist that doesn't get into something as the RC as for instance Poulter or Reed. He enjoys his privacy and always has, which might give us more of those vibes. We don't know how he is in private with the rest of the team of course, but from the point of view of a TV spectator, I agree he doesn't look too inspired out there. Then you got Reed spraying it all over the course. Not looking like the sharpest US pair so far.

Tiger might lighten up for the singles, where he can do his own thing and just play golf. 

Well, he just made a putt there to get to just 1 down and pointed a finger at the crowds. Maybe that'll give him and Reed a boost.

EDIT--That might be a bit unfair, since Europe just continues to perform more than the US chokes. By a slight margin.

He’s got nowhere to go with Reed dropping yet again.

Seriously? Grumpiness? Huh?

I love how people see what they want to see.

And forget the last Presidents Cup And Ryder Cup.

When you’re winning, your team looks like it has chemistry. When you’re losing, it doesn’t. It’s that simple.

Seriously. I’d have more fun playing with a fridge freezer.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

And Patrick Reed has been in his pocket on all but one hole so far. THAT is not fun.

Haha. Excellent.

Tiger's singles record is incredible in team events and even moreso outside of them. If anything is holding his pairings record back in these events, I'm willing to bet it's 75% his partner's performance, and not his own. My God, Fatrick has been AWFUL today.
