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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
