  1. WTF is up with these pairings.....
  2. When do four ball pairings get announced?
  3. Beauty of match play - +5 to +4 is almost as exciting as -5 to -4.
  4. I bet JT and Spieth are thinking it must be nice to have a bogey putt to win a hole. Looking back on it, that 1st match was just great golf all around.
  5. Berger is streaky. He can get hot fast, I wouldn't worry about him just yet, just enough to not play him this afternoon.
  6. DJ/Collin and Xander/Cantlay have dibs on the 4. Spieth or Koepka if he wants to go to 5. JT and Berger, hard pass.
  7. Bryson is friends with no one. Also, Zinger is stupid.
  8. DJ/Collin Xander/Cantlay Bryson/Spieth (or Scheffler/Spieth) English/Finau I just can't envision sending out a rookie with Bryon for his first ever Ryder Cup match.
  9. JT is putting like shit but even still, the team is playing well. They just ran into a buzz saw. One bogey among both teams and a ton of birds.
  10. Definitely intentional he left it out there. Probably missed his ideal spot by a couple feet right.
  11. Jordan stuffs yet another one to under 10 feet.
  12. I'm watching both featured groups and broadcast. Morikawa drains the putt, DJ/Colin go 3 up. There.
  13. Driver twirl for Spieth on 14. Rahm splits the fairway as well. Rahm is playing slightly better that Spieth. Sergio is playing way better than JT. Hopefully that last putt takes the lid off for JT.
  14. Fuck ya, ~3 ft for bird. Just need a Garcia miss on their ~10-15 footer
  15. Rahm is playing out of his mind.
  16. I'm an idiot - thought he sliced it into the weeds.
  17. Garcia with a gift off the tee. Need a fairway, JT. And he executes! Let's GOOOOOO!!!
  18. Jordan playing at a decent enough level. JT... Come on, man!
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. They're doing it right. They haven't been caught.
