Yanks look the stronger but don't travel well

I am getting stupidly excited about this. I tell myself,"It's only golf ifs!" But there is something about this cup. Maybe because we have a great record at home reminding me of Albion? Don't know but so want to beat the Yanks. Love Tiger but he doesn't really have that good a record in the Ryder Cup. Now watch him prove me wrong! Bring it on!

Genuinely surprised that this thread has started today, the day before the event starts ?
I heard Jay Townsend talking on 5Live on Monday evening saying that he thought that the Ryder Cup was the second biggest sporting event after The World Cup !!!!!
And yet this thread arrives only 8 hours ahead of the first tee off ? Come on chaps, buy the hype !

Just about to tee off, the size of that stand at the first tee!!!!! It's like a football ground

Love the Ryder Cup, would like to put the crowd on the cringe thread though, they're hideous.
Where there is a parallel is that like the World Cup, it sucks in people who aren't usually fans of that sport.
Personally, I'm excited about this one. We are always the underdog and yet our record stands up. The odds suggest this is going to be tight.

I’m all in on Europe at 6/4 which is far too big given the record over here we have.
Sky’s coverage all over the place so far and hardly anything live despite only 8 players on the course

I noticed that with the first group on the first hole FFS. Had a really long ad break while they were putting

The coverage is pretty much unwatchable 
It’s almost impossible to keep up with what is going on as they are showing about a quarter of the shots and nothing live. Still, I have nothing better to do so will Cary on watching it

Indeed. Missed loads of putts live, and shown others (including Rose's first winning putt of the whole thing) from a camera about three miles away.
I guess the images are not Sky's and they are reliant on a French host broadcaster. Poor though.

I think Europe are going to get thrashed. Was lining up Sunday afternoon in front of the telly but have a sneaking suspicion it might be all over bar the shouting going into the singles.

My money would be on them if I'm honest. Whilst our rookies are good, we've got a lot of them and match play golf is a different breed to their regular format so we just don't know how they'll react. Plus that US team is very, very strong.
