ryder cup day 2

Europe have nailed everything about this Ryder Cup. Course setup to their favour. Venue with huge amphitheatres allowing big crowds and big noise. Captains selections scoring points. Ticks all round.

Be very interesting to see what Jim comes up with for afternoon session. Can't go Bryson/Phil again but might, shouldn't have gone Tiger/Reed again and he did. Bubba not up for it. Tiger tired. Spieth/Thomas a cert. I'd give Finau/Koepka another run and would probably throw Webb and Bryson together to find some fairways. Not sure what else, their team looks very one dimensional right now, a Kisner/Snedeker type would be pretty handy right now.

No idea what Jim does now.  Not enough chairs for the guys who need to sit it out.

Rose/Stenson vs. DJ/Koepka
Sergio/Noren vs. Bubba/Webb
Molinari/Fleetwood vs. Tiger/Bryson
Rory/Poulter vs. JT/Jordan

surely jim needs to pick his best 4 teams, no need think about tomorrow if he doesn't,
so just go for it

hope to get 3 points .or more ....big ask

Wouldn't have sat Rickie.  Tiger possibly injured playing 36.  Bubba showed nothing with Webb.  All good for Europe.

Tiger/Bryson need a 3 hole start against Moliwood.

euro foursomes the same, had to be.

so far Furyk has got so much wrong if only I had known his team tactics beforehand

when europe wins the 4somes 2mrow the singles will be hilarious

It looks to me that it’s the USA who have seriously underperformed, rather than a blinding show from Europe.
First of all Furyk hasn’t an iota, anyone who played Mickelson and Watson in foursomes quite clearly hasn’t a clue
Woods injured
Finau a dud
Watson finished
Mickelson completely finished
Johnson marital problems
Reed playing awful with months
It’s hardly a team that you’d be overly worried about .

You'd think Rickie and Webb even would make a decent foursomes combo, two steady eddy types. Gotta hit fairways here and manage the course, why play Bubba?

Be careful where you bet on the singles tomorrow, different rules with conceding matches and agreeing a draw.

Don't they usually play matches to their conclusion anyway?  These guys take their personal records pretty seriously.

All matches will be played to a finish. Irrespective of the overall score.

Chased the "Yankee" Draw Dream Acca for years.
Not going to happen

Some great shot there on 16

1/2 at 16

commentators saying rahm has not played well but in reality he has- just his game not suited to this course.

his game more like an american style player with the bomb and gouge philosophy than a european one. and he has been found out like the americans have.

Poulter all over the Shop 17

topped

2&1

Fancy a score draw this afternoon 2-2.

World number 1 and 3 paired together and very much outsiders. Good buddies DJ and Koepka, having a little wager there. May have lost my mind backing anything American that isn't JT/Spieth

8-4 Great putt thomas

the pampered,cossetted,spineless yank p ussies(Thomas & Spieth notwithstanding) used to playing resort golf the preponderance of the year have been well & truly found out on a proper course with rough and water to punish the casual shots..way more cojones on the Solheim cup team(figuratively speaking of course)

think the yanks have to win 3-1 this afternoon for the final day not to be a non-event. certainly not inconcievable that they should do so.

fancy jt/spieth to see off poulter/mcilroy, dj/brooks to sort out jr and henrik, and for the second time today I like the woods combo to beat moliwood.

clutching at straws perhaps but lets see.

Has to be Europe in match 2.

Look how smug mcginley is

Get the feck out of here Justin

I think if the Americans can get it to 9 1/2 7 1/2 they'll probably win it in the singles tomorrow imo

That's where the Americans will be at their strongest

usa 1-0 up

the comeback is on

I think if the Americans can get it to 9 1/2 7 1/2 they'll probably win it in the singles tomorrow imo

don't think that's a possible scoreline. 9-7 is.

should read 9-7 that, got my maths all wrong

Yes Lewisham, made a c*ck up there

problem with the singles is, how many points would you expect phil, pat, tony, bubba to get?

phil it depends who he's up against but expect him to lose regardless

Tony and Reed are good players and expect them to win if up against Europes weaker single players, Bubba could win 5&4 or lose 5&4 though, you never know with Bubba

need fleetwood/moli to get beat to open up spieth outright bet. plus spieth team needs to win as well.

fowler top yank bet already dead, should have backed spieth top yank as well.

So I'll go 2 1/2 points from those 4, in the vein hope Bubba turns up

I never expected USA to lose those last 8 games 7-1 though

Pitiful performances from most of them as well

4-0 incoming?

bjorn known for choking big leads as a player, perhaps he can do it as a coach

Stenson doesn't look himself imo.  Could be  a long day for Rose

Expect the yanks to front end their talent in singles, get some momentum and early points and see if the Europeans have the nerve to finish it.

Moliwood for me in match 3.

WTF Alex.

yes if it's close could get very tactical. american will go top heavy but could see bjorn dropping mcilroy down the order to pick up an easy win. as long as he doesn't run into reed

anything you can do Bubba...

a mon avis,La Belle France devrait reintroduire la guillotine pour tous les membres et l'entourage de l'Equipe Americaine sauf pour JT et Spieth

ur m8 Koepka..l r..has been abysmal so far

Isn't this the plot of Tin Cup?

should have added simpson to the list of yanks you couldn't be confident about in singles.

Hole halved in triple.

Halves in triple bogies ffs

Noren needs a good lie down.

yanks need to nobble moliwood somehow to have any chance.

Need to mute Laura Davies. Too partisan.

Same yesterday at start of foursomes

SKY -  SHOW SOME F*CKIN' GOLF PLEASE  !!!

(I'm a pretty easy going guy mostly - but I have limits)

JT and Spieth for me in this one

This coverage is total dog sh!t, show some golf ffs

Noren summoning his inner Mickelson

Noren's a bottler

Super shot by Sergio.

Poulter/McCilroy win the first with a par

wee rors actually holing a putt or 2 for a change

and then that!

has poulter made a point yet

fu speith

Bjorn could've picked the 12 worst hackers around..would still have p1ssed all over these Yank handjobs

Unstoppable Moliwood.

Woods giving Tommy & Molly a stroll to top pts scorers.

woods practicing his French

allez fcuk

Molinari and Fleewtwood have been beyond awesome, 5 up after 9, brilliant stuff.

Boxy the mathmetician

Greatest tandem in RC history

ref needs to step in soon..stop this

Did he just say Molinari and Fleetwood could contribute 10 points towards Europe's total 14.5 required points?

Not sure it works like that FFS

mcginlay fh

Why is Jim out watching Tiger that game is done !

fu spith

Noren has been horrible

Shame that with such an interesting closing stretch other than there hasn't been much late drama in the matches.  All 4 matches here looking pretty much decided.

surprisingly so rhino I was surprised Bjorn didnt use Noren more yesterday but he must have been playing poorly in practice as well

Brilliant shot Tiger.

May have some drama in the lead off match now.

clutch putt

That was a huge putt indeed.

If this does end up 10-6 then I'd be more than happy with that going into tomorrow.
Good drive by Rose on 17.

Rose and Stenson win 2&1, that was a very important point for us.

Guess Brooks doesn't view this as a major.

Got some bottle stenson

don't have to have that much when ur oppos have sweet FA

might take this golf up for a living 3 bets 3 winners.

The dream team of Fleetwood and Molinari complete the demolition job on Woods/Dechambeau 5&4. Just brilliant play by those two.

Butch has not held back, they need to build golf courses in usa, not flat tarmac with no rough and bunkers with 6 inch lips.

Need some sort of drama tomorrow - in terms of the individual matches and the overall score this is a pretty dull Ryder Cup.

Looking good for you houseofpain.

2 matches on the course and we're watching Bubba tee off while his partner has already made the putt to win the match.

They had to show a little backbone slip..

butch been snorting DJ's lines!

Hope McIlroy avoids Spieth - doesn't seem to play well against him - think his slow pace of play gets to him.

I'd put Casey in the top 3 - could easily spoil any of their bug guns.

USofA have been pretty woeful considering they were the one's coming in with the tag of being great on paper

I gave Spieth some criticism yesterday but he's been decent overall, 3 out of 4 so far?

Should have known though, they've been bang average since the 90s when coming over here

That said I'm having a fiver on them doing the unthinkable tomorrow and turning this around
