The Ryder Cup thread

[shnsajax]

Would be great to win in Europe, could be a chance for Tiger to make a statement. But its going to be hard to watch the American's wearing this on Saturday.

no doubt, that [expletive] is sharp.

Watching "Live From" right now and was just coming to start this thread. The beauty of the Euro Ryder Cup's is that it doesn't really air at the same time as football. The negative is that we usually get our ass kicked. I'm with those guys on the Saturday uniform. Sunday's is nice too. The sweaters for tomorrow are a little lame though.

 

This Euro team is not that good though. We've got a shot. Pairings will be interesting, Pavin can pair up the bombers with some steady Eddy guys.

It should be exciting.

 

I never buy it when a team is supposedly favored, which the Euros are. It's golf and it's matchplay. Anything can happen.

 

And I actually like the unis.

I feel like Monty was made to be a Ryder Cup Captain, makes me wish Payne Stewart was around today.

The Friday uni with the Cup on it is just awful.

The only thing I don't like about the morning pairings is Overton, it's too risky. It could work but it's more likely that Padraig and Donald finish them early. I think Zach would be a better fit to play with Bubba in a best ball setting. Overton hasn't played well lately and he's a tool. Everything else looks about right.

 

I think Tiger/Stricker and Phil/DJ are going to roll in the morning. Don't like the other two matchups but again, it's match play.

The U.S. rain gear failed. PGA of America had to go out and buy all new rain gear this morning. Jason Sobel of espn.com has been losing his mind about it on twitter.

I was just reading that. Very funny they botched something as simple as that.

If you're going to play golf in the UK in October, that should actually be top of your list. :wink:

I know I said I kinda liked the unis, but the raingear was hideous. The team looked like a male cheerleading squad wearing warmups.

golfers celebrating with each other is so damn goofy and awkward.

ESPN should find some anchors who aren't crazy homer European hating, golfers.

 

Or maybe they shouldn't.

Holy hell this thing flipped in a hurry. The Euro's are on fire.

They are on fire and Woods/Stricker can't hit a shot for anything right now. Down 5 after 7.

I didn't know the 2012 Ryder Cup is going to be at Medinah. I've never been to a golf tournament but I might have to check it out.

Well the Ryder Cup is the one to go to. Football-type atmosphere and really spectator friendly because of the format. The next 3 U.S. contests are in Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin. I'm hoping to catch all 3.

That's exactly my thoughts, I have very little desire to go see a regular tournament but the Ryder Cup seems like the way to go.

Well that was just stunningly awful. Up 6-4 with the way things were going I was expecting 8-8 at worst going into singles. How many putts can you leave short before you adjust? DJ shouldn't have even made the trip, same for Phil.

 

Pavin has been an epic failure as captain.

Pavin has shown zero emotion the entire Cup.

U.S is playing exactly like they need to early. Leads in 3 of the first 4 matches on the back nine and the only one they aren't leading is really through no fault of their own. Furyk has played really well but Donald has just been a machine. 2 of the last 4 holes it looked like Furyk had a win and then Donald buried long birdie putts. He's birdied 6 of the first 13.

 

Dustin Johnson has sure proven he can bounce back. That guy is either incredibly resilient or just has no memory. Phil has finally shown up.
