OT: Ryder Cup

That was a rough watch. Sleeping in tomorrow morning, no reason to wake up early again. First time time the US didnt win a single match for the day. Unreal.
If Europe goes 8-0 tomorrow to close it out, you'll have missed an amazing bit of sports history.
 
My brother bet on Europe at the new XL Center Sportsbook!
Given the US hasn't won in Europe in a generation and a half, even before today that bet had less risk than betting UConn football to cover vs Tennessee.
 
Utter embarrassment. Were the U.S. players not allowed to practice the last 3 holes?!? Europeans playing like this means something, while Americans use this as a family vacation. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a record margin of victory.

USA was favored.

USA was favored.

It was breaking late hard in favor of Europe and I heard on the radio some of the books actually flipped to Europe. I made no effort to fact check what I heard on the radio.
 
Need to go 5-3 tomorrow at a minimum to make Sunday's singles matches worth somwthing.

All that matters is that his ticket says "Europe +125".
 
Last four Ryder Cups

19-9 US
17.5-10.5 Europe
17-11 US
16.5-11.5 Europe

Apparently their is a big home course advantage.
 
Fitzpatrick first 5 holes I saw he made 73 feet of putts all one putts 4 birds and an eagle. Pretty tough to beat that!!

I played Green Mountain National I’m Killlington VT and missed most of the afternoon rounds thank God.

Leading off JT-Spieth in the alternate shot? Wow hope it works but Spieth couldn’t hit it straight yesterday.
 
Spieth is clueless on the course not sure what gummies Zach took before thinking of leading him off this morning in a crucial match. And Sheffler Koepka 5 over after 3 holes put them in huge trouble. Starting to look like they should just shake hands end of todays rounds and grab an early flight the hell outta there!
 
Seems there's a non-zero chance this thing could be over today.

If that happens, I'm expecting the Euros to employ hair of the dog to get thru Sunday's matches, which would be extremely entertaining.
 
Bad start to the day.

My thought was it couldn’t be worse than yesterday. I was wrong again.
Well, they got a full point in one match. And they ensured Europe doesn't close out today.
 
Not playing Koepka early is Zach at his finest. Ridiculous!

And Cantlay put a hat on please.
Talk of him wanting to get paid for this. Visual protest. IIRC he wanted all no cut events on the tour.
 
Wonder if US team was a tad overconfident after last Ryder cup? Their margin of victory record won’t have stood very long.
 
That's gotta be close to the worst pasting ever.
This is another sad day for USA in sports. First our men’s basketball team does not even medal in their world championship and now this. Summer Olympics next summer should be interesting. Are we still a super power or has the rest of the world caught up while we were soaking up the American dream. When a team that is much less talented than ours kicks are butt this bad it’s about what’s between the ears.

And you have to respect Rory. His make up is a lot like Nicklaus but he did not get that toughness by growing up in the land of entitlement. Name one professional golfer you would rather have watching your back. Total respect for him especially how he handled all the LIV stuff.
 
You'll never see Morikawa miss two consecutive putts like that in stroke play. Pressure does funny things.
 
How in the world did JT make this team? Likeable guy, but he even admitted he had a horrible year, and wasnt playing well recently. Just horrible leadership by Zach.
