Losing Solheim cup on her home soil not the finish she was looking for Heroically bouncing back from a dodgy back nine to cream the last couple of holes is probably more like it.

Pasquale for King Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I enjoyed that, not sure playing Nordqvist/Maguire and Hall/Boutier in both foursomes was a good idea. Probably should’ve just sneaked it but a good appetiser for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Spanish way, don'tcha know? More than happy to eat words. Her last 2 irons were things to remember when she has retired, especially after her 15th double bogey. Imagine if you had to nominate 2 person from each team to take part in play off? That would be some pressure but as rules are rules, Europe don't give a ****. Was Hedwall that turned it round though as she looked down and out. If Ryder cup is equal to this, roll on next week. Last thing, amazing how the stupid shouts were absent, bar the scenes at end.

And one fan saying 'no no no no no no no' as a US putt tracked towards the hole at a vital point in one of the matches at the end (the putt snuck past). Now, that doesn't necessarily bother me, but it's not really in line with the etiquette is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I had wondered about how the bookies would price up their book for this one. I had a look at bet365 and, wouldn't you know it, they went evens on both teams with 12/1 the tie. Europe is still evens but the tie has nibbled in to 11s with USA at 21/20. My eye-catchers are: Top Europe points scorer Tyrrell Hatton 8/1. Margin of victory spread, Europe by 1-3 points. 15/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was curious about what the opening market would be. Interestingly there's a market on individual players' day 1 points gained. Bit of a blind guess trying to lay odds without knowing how many times they'll play and the opposing players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do fancy the 8s on Hatton as top European points scorer. If he brings his top game then he'll be a handful. Greatly depends on his 4ball and 4some partners though.

Victorian Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 As regular golfers among us will probably recognise, foursomes matches can be especially tricky to get up to speed in. Because you're playing alternate shots, depending on how the shots go from hole to hole, you can often be well into a match before you're called upon to play particular types of shots. Whether that be a long or mid iron approach, greenside chip, even putts of various lengths. I once played a match and it was well into the back nine before I had to putt. Pros of this standard are very obviously on a different planet in terms of sheer ability over every conceivable shot but even they must get a bit thrown off by suddenly being called upon to putt from inside 6 feet for the 1st time, or 1st lengthy iron shot while well into the round. It's almost an entirely different game to fourballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah still tricky alternating between the two balls though. Those guys will be totally dialed in with their specific ball and how it works with their clubs, so I imagine having to adjust and factor that in during a round could be quite tricky. I imagine that's a big factor in who the pairings are for foursomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIlroy had stated there's no issue when using the driver as a lot of the data confirmed the performance difference was negligible. It'll be the irons that the differences will be noticed.
