Malinga the Swinga Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) After this week, the golfing world, including most of US players, can get back to criticising De Chambeau. The guys a classless dick. His behaviour yesterday was shocking. His arch enemy, BklK, was even worse. Abusing and swearing at referees, just because he couldn't get a free drop, was one of the worst things ever seen on golf course.

Home team privilege but if you watch US tournaments, with exception of US open (sometimes) it's like watching pitch and putt. Lamp it down 350 yards and doesn't matter if you're on fairways or not, cause the lies are flat and rough is non existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Such an insipid performance, so little passion/motivation/determination. Poor pairings, vice captains not relaying the correct information. All a bit too nice for my liking. Changes need to be made to the qualifying also. The odds on Mcilroy/Poulter/Westwood all winning today must’ve been enormous, Rahm was always likely to lose after carrying the team for two days, ideally he would’ve been left to sleep late and play last. They never got to grips with the greens at all and some of their play was abysmal, so many duff shots emphasised by Fitzpatrick at the end. Never want to see Westwood, Poulter, Fitzpatrick, Weisberger, Casey and Garcia play in this tournament again. Time for a new era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 In fairness to Harrington he actually managed to pull off something I didn't think was ever going to be possible. He's made that dick Faldo look like a stellar captain. The Europeans need to rethink how the qualifying points are amassed and over what time frame as some of that team wouldn't win the monthly medal at their local course.

Turning up in the singles isn’t enough though, for the Captain to put the same failed pairings out on Saturday was madness. There’s a few guys that are in the age bracket to be captain, it will be interesting to see who it is. I think the European tour needs to come up with a replacement for the Seve trophy as our team needs to have a warm up style tournament, the Presidents cup has been great for the US. Maybe they should see if the International team fancy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
