Singles Matches

is this definetey the airings?

Yes. On the official site.

thanks m8, who do we fancy? oter,snedekar?

Actually think Europe have a lot of winnable matchups, but having probably the weakest four performers out last 4 makes very little sense given the scoreline.  It's not like they're going to get this wrapped up early.  GMAC has bottle in spades, so why put him at 7 and risk having Frankie over a 5 footer for the win?

Rory v Bradley should see some fireworks.

Alas, I think it'll be well and truly done by the time the lower order even come into play. Someone with the surname Johnson to hole the winning putt perhaps.

Tiger last is so embarrassing for him

Tiger last makes absolute sense.  Regardless of form, Tiger is the strongest closer out there.  Either this is a stroll for the US, in which case Tiger's nerve isn't needed, or the momentum shifts and it becomes incredibly nervy, in which case Tiger's nerve becomes vital.  He's in the right position, and it's certainly not an insult.

I'm very surprised the the US have put out four of their strongest players out early, knowing that Europe have no choice but to use those tactics..

Why has the op slagged Molinari.

Molinari has played great.

For all Ian's heroics i will be backing Webb Simpson today.

Will also be backing Kuchar.

As has been said, Tiger going out last is not an insult.

In his last 2 four ball matches his back 9 performance has been superb, he has played better the more pressure he has been under.

Tiger is a poor mans Ian Poulter at the ryder cup.

Why would you back Simpson Aber to beat Poulter?

6/4 for the US Open champ to beat Poulter in a 2 ball is a no brainer for me.

Simpson played pretty well in the 4 balls, in fact he played very well.

I know that Poulter is playing like a man possessed but surely he cant play like that again..

Ive already placed the bet with stan james so we will see.

Simpson couldn't beat KT Kim at the last day of Presidents Cup so how you consider that bet a no brainer is beyond me. Good luck anyway you are going to need it.

Kuchar @ 2.12 to beat Westwood had to be snapped up...hoping that Europe make ago of it today though.

I honestly believe olly has outsmarted love here. I think the pairings give Europe a chance. The 1 player Kaymer had a chance against would be stricken on this weeks evidence. Close arts against Johnson what a match,! Europe could easily win top 3 matches and then g mac Garcia and Hanson games very important .Agree with other posters that woods out last  is no bad thing for USA. Anyway hope we have great viewing tonight as the last hour last night has given Europe a chance. Enjoy all.

Reckon that it could get closer for a while, but last 4 Euro players don't inspire confidence for a miracle...

Johnson Vs Colsaerts, will be a display of raw power. Hope Colsaerts can do him.

Best bets of the day are imo Bubba @ 2.38 and Tiger @ 1.85.
The course is set up perfectly for both of them and both Luke and Molinari will struggle with the length.
Only concern is what may happen in the Tiger-Molinari match if US win the Cup early on ?

Does anyone know how many 8 folds and above there are in 12 selections ?

Kuchar looks a great bet but as he is out fourth last I too am concerned about the US having already won the Cup.
The fact that Woods is going out last would be a huge negative as he probably wants to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

he has to attend the closing ceremony no matter if he is first or last out.

Tell him there is a leggy blond waiting on him and you won't see him for dust.

im sure there is at least one leggy brond waiting for him

U couldn't in all honesty have a bet in any of the last 3-4 singles unless you were going to play draw no bet. I note the US are favourites in 9 of the 12. The 1/6 them to win it is a freebie imo and won't get any bigger at any stage

The final matches will be pretty well developed by the time the early ones get decided, and possible that the later starters could be finishing at a similar time if winning 7&6 or 6&5, especially as these look a bit one-sided to me, so wouldn't be too concerned about starting out late.

RORY the bet...no doubt about it

understand the start time is 17.03, why has oddschecker got 16.03?

Steve Stricker to beat Kaymer is a no brainer

Webb had 7 birdies on 13 holes yesterday, he played absolutely amazing. 2.50 way to high for US Open champ.
Kaymers form not much worse than Strickers and I still believe in Kaymer in the clutch, good bet.
Rory should be to much for Keeagan and Garcia seems to be a decent bet vs Furyk .

Dufner Rory and rose for me.

as much as poults gets pumped up I have to got webb also...if poults wins hats off to the ryder cup king

Monty will be devastated to hear you say that Harry

I am sure mrs doubtfire can live off his order of merit wins   I am glad he never won a major...could you imagine every major he did commentary on ' well when I won my major back in 2001 I was supreme in driving statistics unlike woods'  the man is a fool

Poulter and Webb should be around the same price IMO.

webb will psyche poults out with quotes from the bible.

Backed Europe to win in the first 6 matches.(Fourfolds 15 bets)

Layed USA @ 1.14 (trade for stake @ 1.5 + hopefully !)

Backed 16 losers so far (backed Draws) so may well get the clean sweep.

USA could well drift for a while when the singles start, reckon that there'll be plenty of close matches at the top, considering a trade there somewhere possibly through a small play on Europe.

what time do we kick off today?

First tee-off   Watson  v  Donald   17.03

Aberdonia - I'm not particularly slagging off Molinari, but Olly has to be hoping this comes down to the wire, and he is not the player in the team you want over a pressure 5 footer to win or retain the Ryder Cup.  The fact that betting-wise Europe's biggest outsider is the final game when Europe are more likely to need the final game tells you Olly's been outsmarted on that one.

5 past 5?

ScotsIrish if Olazabal got it so right them why are the US favourites in 9 (huge favs in some pairings) of the 12 matchups. Donald Duck would hasve known you have to put your best performers out first to try and get points on the board.

IMO Love got it right putting Wood out last where in the unlikely event his score is needed one could rest assured he will thrive in the cauldron. He also got it right putting the whooper and hollerers out against the European top 3 to try and unsettle them.

Olazabals picking was summed up for me when he left Poulter (3-0 in 3 games won them all himself with little or no help) for Fridays FourBalls when (the session when the wheels came off for Europe)to give Hansen a game.

Such are the decisons that lose Ryder Cups

Cleverest thing I think Olly has done is put Luke out first instead of Poults as predicted.  Bubba going out first was very predictable, and obviously designed by Davis to get the crowd pumped up early on.  Putting Poulter out against him would only have fanned the flames, whereas Luke, having local ties, is the least likely to get a hostile reception.  So Luke quietens the crowd by playing steady, boring golf and letting Bubba hang himself, then Poults storms through second up and gets the Euro fans cheering.  Clever stuff if that's the plan.

Poulter and Webb should be around the same price IMO.


Yes, if this was'nt the Ryder cup. But it wont be about stats today..it's about balls! And there aint many bigger than Poulter's...That's why he's about to be top point scorer the last three times!

The way Woods has played the front 9 Molinari could well be 3 up going into the closing 9.

you,ve got to ,love the shoite on here but lusty get todays award,poulter with little or no help,rorys long putt on the 13th to get them within one,poults bunker shot and birdie on the 15th made possible by rory stiffing his bunker shot before poults had played his,rorys approach at 16th was closer than poults and poults putt made easier because they had rorys to fall back on,but dont let the facts stop you spewing out the shoite its entertaining, oh i forgot what a muppet,

Not a happy bunny.  Missed the competition, told everyone to back USA 18-10 and 17-11,  could have had 70+ and about 36.  Have done absolutely nothing.  Can't find the singles markets on Betfair.  Going up the pub.  Might lay USA and hope to trade somewhere along the line.  Good luck for those involved.

At the prices I like Watson, Woods, Snedeker and Garcia. Tempted by DJ as well but I'll see how Colsaerts drives the first few.

Dustbin to bt Colsaerts
Zach to bt McDowell
Garcia to bt Furyk

Any free live links I don't have sky?

I've done Donald, Poulter and Rose - and will get involved in the later matches depending how the overall teams scores are. Am tempted by Bradley at the price too.

Done 3 singles in this.

Bradley to bt Rory
Rose to bt Mickelson
Colsaerts to bt Dusty Bin

Here's hoping Europe can get say at least 4 pts out of the first 6 and at least keep the dream alive for a bit.

yeah bradley/rory is huge

Rose at 6/4 easily my bet of the lot.

Dusty to bin Colsaerts

are multiples on the golf singles available here on betfair?

can't seem to find them.

Are there any odds for the singles matches on here?

Day 3/Singles Quincy

Gone for Webb to beat Poults, who could be mentally knackered after yesterday, adrenalin will get him so far and played some cracking golf yesterday but will be a gonner today...

I really fancy us in the top half dozen matches and think we can pull this off today.

I rate only Duffner & Stricker as home bankers but think we have bankers in Donald, Poulter, Mcclroy, Lawrie, Mcdowell.

I rate the rest pick em games so with a 10-6 lead I make USA + 2 = 12 & us + 5 = 11.

So all to fight for in the remaining games being only 1 point behind

"you,ve got to ,love the shoite on here but lusty get todays award,poulter with little or no help,rorys long putt on the 13th to get them within one,poults bunker shot and birdie on the 15th made possible by rory stiffing his bunker shot before poults had played his,rorys approach at 16th was closer than poults and poults putt made easier because they had rorys to fall back on,but dont let the facts stop you spewing out the shoite its entertaining, oh i forgot what a muppet, "

Don't know u from adam 1st Time poster but I promise u this I'll tear u a new one if u ever refer to me like that again.

Those were Mcllroys own words re being a passenger and Rose said it the first day as well

To all - golf thread etiquette reminder...ta

!st time poster is a rabid platic manc from the footy forum who deals only in insults and is blinkered to say the least. My advice is to ignore the likes of his ilk.

world matchplay champ 1 down after 1

Rory doing a job...disrespectful imo that rory wasnt odds on
