OBE Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 (edited) Ryder cup not just about good golf, is it? There is pairings to consider, who plays in what format, where in the Sunday singles draw the assumed big-guns are placed. Europe (thanks to people like Seve) now have the belief that they can go toe-to-toe on any soil. On paper, USA team looks very good but, do they have the genuine passion that Europe now posses in ♠️'s ? Match-play golf, there isn't enough. Strategic drives, lay-ups, pitches and successful putts all receive roars of appreciation from educated crowds. Medal play is dull as dishwater, if someone is 4/5 shots ahead on the back 9, i.e. the recent Dutch Open...boak! I only have one concern in this European team...Mr Hatton, I do hope, he doesn't decide mid-round, his clubs are too long... C/mon Paddy, players, caddies & the European restricted support...it's a daunting task but, it is, The Ryder Cup...🍀 Edited September 22 by OBE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure Harrington and Sergio weren't exactly the best of friends but that's was always shoved to the side when the Ryder Cup came round and again here with Sergio being a Captain's pick.

Went back to 2007 but all seems to have been settled since. Within that time, Sergio has decided to pick fights with Tiger and Kuchar and dig up bunkers and greens in Saudi. Ever since his girl was born, he's mellowed. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Victorian Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 2nd match looks like Europe's cornerstone match. Lose that one and they're possibly in trouble.
