Seymour M Hersh Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just watched the opening drives of this year's cup. Europe gal had the honours and spanked one down the middle. US gal got to the tee and got the crowd going with the upping her arms thing. Stood over the ball and the crowd quieted down as golf crowds do. She walked away from the ball and got them (the crowd cheering again) helped by her team-mates all squealing and yelling. Promptly drove straight in to a fairway bunker!

Promptly drove straight in to a fairway bunker! I thought Kang missed the bunker (although I still found it funny that she whipped the crowd up only to miss the fairway). Bubba did something similar in a recent Ryder Cup. Impressive play with the group who halved with eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Referee cheating to award hole to US in one game. Said Euro player picked up ball 3 seconds early when conceding putt and it could have gone in. Bring honest, ball wasn't dropping if she'd left it for another 3 years. Korda never claimed it, all down to ref wanting to be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see other sports and the American competitor loses, you can see the dollar signs going backwards in their eyes in a cartoon type of way 😆. If you catch my drift.

sadj Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 2 hours ago, jonnothejambo said: The issue is that the ball was never going to drop in a million years, but the girl did make the mistake of picking it up. However, as eloquently put by Trish Johnston, the match official should really only have intervened had Korda or her partner said something but she was too busy dropping to her knees and would never have even got there in 10 seconds. Korda had no intention of complaining as she knew it wouldn't drop. In essence, the Yank official questioned the European girl's integrity. That cannot be argued really. 👌🏻 Spot on imo. Korda knew that wasn’t going in. Golfers know themselves if it has a chance. That ball didn’t. Anyway hopefully we can smash them this afternoon and recover the momentum. That first hole isnt promising though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) US tv coverage is absolutely garbage. You only see US players shots, or else you see European missing.
