Berger is a mess.

Berger is a fuckin trainwreck man. Fortunately Westwood has been just as shitty. 

[dcar00 14633]

I hope Berger's singles match doesn't matter on Sunday.

Berger is streaky. He can get hot fast, I wouldn't worry about him just yet, just enough to not play him this afternoon.

[Redneck Mutha 8090]

Westwood still doing Westwood things. 

[ztejas 43787]

Koepka needs a drink after that one.

Or he plays Poulter or Westy.

Exactly. Getting a point on the board should settle him down for the rest of the weekend.

[dieucla98 2942]

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.

yep.  Berger played well enough in this format.  still got the 2 & 1 win.  we'll all take that.

great start again.  Brandel had the numbers.  we actually do well in the first morning session.  it's the afternoon fourballs where we get clowned.  need to step it up.

streaky on tour fine sure.  streaky at the Ryder Cup not good.

UNFREAKIN' BELIEVABLE SHOT...

Or he gets to play Westwood, and it could be entertaining

We were up 3-1 in Paris after the first session, hopefully this one turns out better.

We’ve been atrocious in 4 ball lately

Beauty of match play - +5 to +4 is almost as exciting as -5 to -4.

which really strange. you basically just play your game.

also (as I posted a couple of pages back) Spieth/Thomas v. Rahm/Sergio both teams were -4, and yet if wasn't really close

Rahm basically made all the putts he needed to make and Sergio made one back breaker.

[alincoln 2385]

Great start for the US, as has become customary in Friday foursomes on US soil.  Now 11-3-2 over the last four Ryder Cups in the US.

 

[Revolution512 1510]

Why do we care about Steph Curry’s opinion again?

[alincoln 2385]

Xander/Cantlay obviously need to go straight back out.  DJ and Spieth also need to play again this afternoon.  The question is whether Koepka and/or Morikawa can go again.  My guess is that Stricker rests them.  Berger and JT should sit which means 2-4 of the rest (Scheffler, English, Finau and Bryson) will play.

 

[dieucla98 2942]

When do four ball pairings get announced?

finau and bryson are going out for sure.  I'm not sure JT sits(not saying he shouldn't).

he's the new michael jordan for NBA/golf

[dieucla98 2942]

WTF is up with these pairings.....

now. jesus, Stricker.  

why is JT going out again?  and no Morikawa or Spieth?

Edited September 24, 2021 by Jive Turkey

[HoustonHorn 1062]

Wow, JT, but no Jordan

[GhostOfTomJoad 9453]

Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay in the final pairing?

WTF Stricker?

[dieucla98 2942]

Bryson/Scottie

DJ/Xander

Harris/Finau

Cantlay/JT

[dcar00 14633]

In 4 balls I think our 2 most consistent drivers need to play with Bryson and Speith.  Those 2 guys can't be thinking about what their partner did off the tee.

[alincoln 2385]

Poulter now 2-4-2 in the Ryder Cup since his Medinah heroics.

[Revolution512 1510]

Let me just say I’m not a fan, hope it works out

One of the most remarkable shots I've seen, and I've seen a lot.

His momentum almost carried him into the drink.

I wouldn't call Scheffler consistent off the tee (not looking at stats so maybe my perception is wrong)

[alincoln 2385]

Morikawa has been kind of injured so I understand leaving him out but the rest is nonsense.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9453]

[TonyTexas 10592]

I don’t get it

 

[LTtxfan 49473]

Afternoon Friday...

[dcar00 14633]

I knew Stricker would play JT.  this could be a disaster.  

why not xander/cantlay and DJ/JT?

[GhostOfTomJoad 9453]

Euros could flip the script in 4 ball. 4-4 to start Sat and all the momentum.

[dieucla98 2942]

DJ / Xander vs Casey/ Wiesberger - W

Bryson/Scheffler vs Rahm/Hatton - L

Finau/English vs Rory/Lowry - L

JT/Cantlay vs Fleetwood/Hovland - on paper, I'd say easy W but not sure JT is going to contribute much.

Either way, ending the day at 5 (or 4.5) to 3 (or 3.5) is a solid day's work.

[Jive Turkey 12811]

the only reason i could see Stricker playing Cantlay and Thomas is that Cantlay is steady Eddie who will be in all the holes, and maybe JT can play his way out of his funk by being more aggressive.

but i don't like this.  

[alincoln 2385]

I assume he rested Koepka and Morikawa (fine), benched Berger (fine) and chose JT over Spieth (stupid).

Splitting Xander and Cantlay is idiotic.  Why not just pair DJ and JT?  Also worried that Rory will get his mojo back against English/Finau.

Bryson and Scottie are birdie machines. They roll in this match
