Fuck ya, ~3 ft for bird. Just need a Garcia miss on their ~10-15 footer
-
Rahm is playing out of his mind.
-
I'm an idiot - thought he sliced it into the weeds.
-
Garcia with a gift off the tee. Need a fairway, JT. And he executes! Let's GOOOOOO!!!

Jordan playing at a decent enough level. JT... Come on, man!

I know for certain that first fourball was 90% Jordan. He single-handedly built a 3 up lead for them. The rest of the sessions are a blur of a disaster from the US so maybe you're right there. I do recall Jordan burying the final putt against a Poulter led team and then pounding his chest in Poulter-esque style. That Jordan is a far cry from today's Jordan, too. That Jordan was in rapid decline, this Jordan is "back". I expect a lot from the Spieth/Thomas pairing and expect both to play at a high level. That might be the only thing I'm remotely confident about.

If by "Euro" course, you mean links, Whistling Straights is not that. It looks linksy but it's not - like Kiawah looks linksy but isn't. You're not going to be running shots up to the green here, it's still played in the air - fly it high, land it soft is the name of the game. If you're meaning the weather, then yes, the weather is distinctly a Euro advantage if it's going to be 20+ MPH winds off the lake. Benign conditions and this is a perfect setup for the bomb and gouge American team.

Golf ball matters a lot. Especially when it comes to short game. Even I can tell the difference in and around the greens. Rules of golf also allow for lift, clean, and place in certain situations so it's not like there isn't precedent for it and it's not like the rules of golf don't change. Personally, I like the added element of uncertainty caused by forcing someone to play a different ball or the extra bit of strategy in deciding whether or not to pair two players that play the same ball or different. And Tiger won using different balls, yes, but outside of the Pro V1s he started with, they were all balls built to his exact spec that fit his swing at that time. I don't think that's a fair comparison.

They're doing it right. They haven't been caught. -
If BDC plays foursomes, Stricker mailed it in.

In fourball, you play your own ball, whatever you want, doesn't matter what your partner is playing. Pretty sure fourball uses the same rules as stroke play here - the ball type/brand you start with, you have to use throughout the round - so if you start with a 2020 Titleist Pro V1, you have to use a 2020 Pro V1 throughout and can't switch to a 2021 Pro V1 or AVX.
-
Agreed that Robinson has turned into the clear solution at LB. Your continued opinion on Pulisic though - I must be watching a different game. Or you have a very loose definition of replaceable.
-
Butch Harmon said he'd put Brooks and Bryson together, first match out. Tell them step up and go get us a point and them being together would motivate the rest to fight for the USA this week. Gotta admit, he's got me rethinking my pairings. I kind of like a Brooks Bryson pairing now (and for the record, I think both are painful to root for). Won't happen, too risky, but that would be an epic Ryder Cup story for decades to come regardless of outcome.
-
Totally agree. And with a 4-2-3-1, you could still play a Jesus + Pepi combo and maintain Pulisic, Reyna, Adams, and McKennie.
-
Big 4 being Pulisic, Adams, Reyna, McKinnie? McKinnie hasn't looked good for Juventus since the season started and obviously the general ambivalence to COVID rules makes him a wild card... Not sure we need to accommodate him over someone like Aaronson at this point. But I don't think there is enough defense with Aaronson in that hypothetical 4-4-1-1. So that leaves a 5-3-1-1 which feels like a significant departure from the 4-3-3 we've been running (memories of the 1H against Honduras come flooding back). I think the bigger issue is we don't have time to experiment anymore - no friendlies to do it in. Would love to see those formations given a chance but that's a lot of pressure on two guys with a combined 90m played.
-
Give him 3 picks and it doesn't change anything. He went chalk 1-10.
-
I think if we see Spieth/Scheffler it's likely only because JT isn't playing well or needs rest for whatever reason. I think that's our best pairing. I would love to see Scheffler paired with someone fiery like... Well, JT or Spieth.
-
He's a bitch. Bitch is gonna act like a bitch.
-
I don't want to imply otherwise - I'm excited about watching Pepi again. Really excited. I would love to see him be the answer at the 9. That would solve the single, biggest issue this team has. I'd love it even more if he proved all that in person on Oct 7 when I can watch in person.
-
Loved what I saw out of Pepi but holy smokes, it's like we're talking to a bunch of Texas fans here - it's one game, settle down. He's all of a sudden the "most important" player we have? Maybe... I'll wait until he eclipses 100 minutes with the USMNT to make judgement. Pulisic was the only good thing going in that abysmal lineup GGG trotted out there. And then once the formation was properly (or more properly) balanced after HT, he was clearly looking more and more dangerous. The goals came as a result of finally putting out a proper balance of CB, FB, MF, and FWD, not because Pulisic got injured. The crosses finally started flying in, and that was while Pulisic was out there. The thought that Pulisic needs to grab a seat on the bench (if healthy) is beyond idiotic.

James Sands should never be on the field in a meaningful game at this level unless he defects and plays for St Kitts and Nevis. And maybe not even then. And yet.... Here we are. Id rather see fucking Lleget.
-
Jordan and JT post wins - they were our only good pairing in Paris. They are also good personality fits. Xander and Cantlay were the best pairing at Royal Melbourne.I think you play those 2 pairings all sessions. After that... who knows... Scottie and Colin - good length from Scottie, best iron play in the game from Colin. Berger and Brooks. Good short game matched up with good off the tee DJ and Finau - complimentary games, complimentary demeanor. Bryson and English - because that's all that's left

We dominate possession only to lose it by dribbling in to a pack of 3 defenders. So much hero-ball (Dest is culprit #1 here I think), trying to make the highlight reel move that results in a clean look at goal only to have it stolen away easily. I'd love to see someone just start whipping in crosses to Pefok/Sargent and Pulisic. Two tall ass dudes and one cross poaching pro. I think.... Yedlin, Brooks, Robinson, Robinson (hey look, everyone playing their natural position GGG) Adams (I'm not sure we're sitting on 2 points without him) Aaronson Acosta Pulisic, Sargent/Pefok/Pepi, Konrad (Pulisic "out of position" on the R since that's preferable to Konrad on the R)
