The 2010 Ryder Cup

[Mtoto]

Im here in Celtic Manor and the forecast for Friday and Sunday is dreadful. Looking like play on Monday !!

Serves 'em right for trying to muscle in on Arc weekend...

 

[Worthai Seagull]

Don't know about "shocked" exactly, but his comments certainly showed a level of immaturity, which is fair enough given his age. It can only come back to bite him in the arris. He'll learn.

Nonsense....he is just saying what everyone else is muttering under their breaths. Its true. All Rory has said is that Woods 'invincibility' has gone for the moment. He has done nothing for a long time now, AND his Ryder Cup record is lousy.
If you have to play Tiger, then now is probably the time as he rebuilds his swing (with a new coach), rebuilds his life and rebuilds his confidence.
AND he is a crap TEAM player...
Rory is totally 100% on the button !

 

[Brian Fantana]

To be fair to Rory, as he stated himself, he made those remarks the week after Tiger had shot 18 over at Akron. I think even I would have fancied facing him after that performance.

 

[Easy 10]

Poulter/Fisher are 15/8 to beat Woods/Stricker.

Think I'll have me some of that.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Why do they have a dizzy blonde asking stupid question of the captains, like why are Woods and Stricker going out 3rd.
At least get someone who wont ask embarressing questions.

Anyone else think that some of the Yanks, Tiger especially, look shocked at the 4th pairing of two rookies playing together.

 

[hitony]

Don’t be ridiculous, are you a yank?

Nope....just a female that clearly dislikes golf....why come on the thread

In my opinion, in most major sports nowadays, ALL interviers ask dumb questions, I think all interviewers and pundits should be nuked!!!!

And yes, I think everyone was surprised at the rookie pairing, but with golf you just dont know, I know many will think the weather may be an advantage to the europeans, personally I think it will be a bit more of a leveller....time will tell

Really can't wait for it to start

Lets get it ooooonnnnnnn

My point wasn't the veracity of the comments, but it was silly to voice them IMO. He's inviting no credit if he does beat the tiger, and look a complete fool if he doesn't.

To all you golfers on NSC I hope you enjoy this.

Golf doesn't really appeal to me so I just hope it doesn't interfere too much with the regular weekend sport.

 

[patchamalbion]

great start by Europe both of the first pairings are 1up

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

All 4 games under way, Europe 1 up in two of them. Good start but horrendous conditions. Good atmosphere though

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Got to go to work now

 

[sten_super]

Europe up in 3! They are going to be seriously slow rounds if this weather continues...

 

[patchamalbion]

Got to go to work now

you may not miss much,their really struggling to keep the greens from flooding at the moment!

 

[Billy the Fish]

Did anyone see Harrington fire a ball at the green while the group ahead of him was putting?

 

[Jello]

play suspended.
Was supposed to be playing myself this morning but didn't fancy the weather forecast and opted for Ryder Cup instead

 

[nwgull]

If this goes to Monday (already looking probable), will we be able to turn up and pay at the gate

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Rain ? In South Wales ?

What were the chances of that ?

To be fair, a mate down that way has a little weather station.
He's just told me that for the last three years, October has been the dryest month of the year down by there.
