[Other Sport] The Ryder Cup

[crodonilson]

Whilst the absence of Tiger once again casts a huge shadow of this event the show must go on as they say. Can't see anything but a total hiding for Europe. USA are absolute class act on and off the course. For me it's a matter of how much they will win by. Brooks top point scorer for me.

Whatever. Where’s the ‘USA’s biggest fan’ pic ? You’re losing your touch. 2/10.

 

[Easy 10]

Nice stat - Garcia has won 25.5 points in the Ryder Cup - the same as the entire current USA team combined. Some great matchups in the morning foursomes.

I've cleared the decks this week, WFH tomorrow. I will not be particularly productive. Can't bloody wait.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Everything points to a USA win - 8 of the world's top 10 in the team, at home with hardly any European fans there.

Europe to win by 4 points. First controversy will occur tomorrow afternoon after Europe win the foursomes 3-1.

Who doesn't love the Ryder Cup?

Nice timing to push our game to the Monday night so I can focus on the golf for the next three days.

Who doesn't love the Ryder Cup?

People who enjoy not hearing morons bellowing "U-S-A" every five seconds?

I mean jeez, if you can't come up with a new chant every so often then STFU.

EDIT - Also people who don't want to hear some prick shout "GET IN THE HOLE" when someone tees off on a par 5

One song! They’ve only got one song! They’ve only got one song! . . . and repeat.

Then of course you’ve got the banal tw*ts with “Mash potato!” and “You the man!”

Go EUROPE

 

[Is it PotG?]

Build up on NBC now. Poults and McIlroy have just entered the building.



Let's 'ave it.

It's a strange challenge really.

With Britain leaving the EU, is there really going to be that togetherness with the Spaniards, Germans, Danes, Swedes etc? And when you think that most of America is nearer than Kazakhstan, I find the hype all a bit OTT for what it is. But then I've never been a big golf fan - preferring the oakwood and a new cloth on a snooker table and putting my balls into different holes.

Just goes to show it's possible to attempt to derail any thread.

We are still part of Europe ! There are 27 countries in the EU and 23 countries not in the EU club.

Vamos muchachos.

Sergio to bat first for us.

Europe booed onto the first tee.

Europe booed onto the first tee.

No surprise there, Americans are stupidly ignorant.
I play golf (sort of) and I agree with disliking all the hype.
The competition is fantastic but the American crowd, the fistpumping, the wives all dressed up, is not the way golf should be played in my opinion.
I really hope Great Britain and Europe win, especially as it is in the states, but I think the green dancing yanks are going to win this one.
I hope I am wrong but Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter are strange picks, maybe experience will count though and they certainly have that.
My game plan would be to get ahead 3/4 of the way into the competition and then watch the yanks retreat and walk off the course leaving all their equipment on the course for anyone to take and use.
Americans are very good at that.

Yay, a political putt.

Lots of bunkers and hazards in the Afghan Open?

Americans no class.

 

[MTSeagulls]

Americans no class.

I'm watching with the sound down now due to the yank goons.
No class, no culture, no history.

Sky already having chit chat with non-entities.

Rahm holes at the 3rd to win the hole. Total silence from the crowd. This is going to be fun
