[Other Sport] Ryder Cup 2023

[Billy Seagull]

It was Cantlay's caddie, but that's not him he's shouting at in the car park. At least I don't think it is.

He was out of the picture apparently.

He was out of the picture apparently.

Oh fair enough.

[Hugo Rune]

Looking forward to Rose vs Cantlay. Europe could win from this if it goes to the 18th and matches ahead of it are won earlier.

There is then the chance to target the caddy with our celebrations.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Ok, 5 minutes to the off. Fast start required by Europe. USA will be bolstered by the win last night over Rory and the subsequent silliness, so we need to shut them down early. Come on Europe!!

 

[Chicken Run]

Two good first tee shots

 

[KZNSeagull]

Huge cheer from the first green. We don't see it until 2 minutes later of course. Rahm 1up after 1

 

[KZNSeagull]

Cantlay misses a 6 footer for birdie on 1.
Rahm bogeys the 3rd
First 3 matches all square

 

[Pevenseagull]

Top swearing from Morikawa

Great to hear

 

[KZNSeagull]

Burns bogeys the first. Rory 1 up
Cantlay birdies the second. Cantlay 1up
Scheffler bogeys 4. Rahm 1up
Hovland birdies 3 to go 1up

Good solid start from Europe

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh FFS, too many adverts, not enough golf. Get on with it.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Fitzpatrick birdies 1. 1up
Scheffler misses a tiddler on 5. Rahm 2up
Hovland wins the 4th. 2up

This is now a great start for Europe.

 

[pasty]

What a great start

 

[Hugo Rune]

Fitzpatrick birdies 1. 1up
Scheffler misses a tiddler on 5. Rahm 2up
Hovland wins the 4th. 2up

This is now a great start for Europe.

In addition, McIlroy looks in great form and Burns is all over the place.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Hatton birdies 1. 1up
Scheffler birdies 5, Rahm 1up
Rory birdies 3. 2up.
Fitzpatrick holes a good putt on 2 for a half.
6 matches on the course, Europe winning 5 of them. Early days but looking very good.

 

[Questions]

Early days but it’s very blue

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Scottish woman on Sky is talking FAR too much, especially in the few seconds before the stroke. Irritating. She clearly has learned nothing from Peter Alliss.

Shouty man (Wayne Riley?) is even worse.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Hovland's on fire, Morikawa's terrified!

Every time the Yanks win back a hole Europe wins it back elsewhere down the fiield.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Rahm having a bit of a chop at the moment. Needs to buck his ideas up. Was 2up now 1dn
