Walter Bishop Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Aye but when it comes to Casey I reckon he shows a lot more passion than Harrington could ever muster tbh, like I said though I'd love the likeable Irishman to prove me wrong. Casey is far up his own arse the only passion he shows is for himself. Harrington though has nothing to prove will prove everyone wrong this week.

rossthejambo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Casey is far up his own arse the only passion he shows is for himself. Harrington though has nothing to prove will prove everyone wrong this week. Pretty unsurprising seeing as golf is predominantly a solo sport. I think in previous Ryder Cup's though that Casey has actually been quite good as a team player and he's very good at matchplay. Not knocking Harrington's inclusion over him just think it could have easily gone the other way and I doubt anyone would be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thoughts. Westwood/Kaymer vs Mickelson/D.Johnson Europe 2&1 McIlroy/MacDowell vs Cink/Kuchar US win at the last hole Poulter/Fisher vs Woods/Stricker A/S Harrington/Donald Vs Watson/Overton Europe 2&1 Europe 2.5 USA 1.5 Game 3 very interesting, think Poults and Ross will give them a run for their money but it could go either way.

shaun.lawson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm going for 15-13 to Europe - but am worried by the way the US are being written off. They have to be successful in Europe some time again; and apparently, Celtic Manor's been set up just like a US Open or US PGA course, which doesn't bode well.

rossthejambo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Westwood/Kaymer vs Mickelson/D.Johnson - A/S McIlroy/MacDowell vs Cink/Kuchar - EUROPE Poulter/Fisher vs Woods/Stricker - USA Harrington/Donald Vs Watson/Overton - EUROPE Not going to predict scores but will happily predict the outcomes. Think that will be most likely the scores. Think Match 3 will be tight but think Yanks will be too strong. 2.5 - 1.5 not a bad start IMO Will have to keep up to date online at work and hope to catch the end of the 2nd round of matches. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I think there'll be a few surprises tomorrow in terms of matches won/lost. I also think that there'll be a new Ryder Cup legend born over the weekend, possibly someone unexpected. Anyway, looking forward to Monty booting some fat Yankee Arse.

Walter Bishop Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just watched the opening ceremony, did anyone else think some of "Team USA" looked surprised when Pavin announced his pairings? It was as if he changed his order/pairings from what had maybe been said before. I cant see anything other than Europe winning the opening session, Wins in the 1st,2nd and last match with USA sneaking the 3rd. Cant wait!!!!

Its good that we have the current US Open and US PGA champions on our side though. All European courses are pretty much like this now, couple that with the fact most of our players are regulars on US tour the course wont be an issue.

Larry Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 2.5-1.5 for Europe in the morning is 5/1 that's getting my first ?5. Also ?5 on 14-14 I can only assume Furyk is knackered from his win at the weekend? Or maybe thinking about it, the course is going to be really soft tomorrow and JF is the shortest(although most accurate) driver in the US team. Makes sense to use some of the big hitters whilst the course is playing extra long? Watson and Overton both hit it miles. Leave Furyk's accuracy for the more tricky foursomes. The fact they've Furyk, Mahan and Z Johnson sitting out the first morning, shows that the US isn't as weak as people think. Could potentially be the best and closest Ryder Cup in years.

Larry Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wonder how the afternoon pairings will work out? will he go with Jimenez+Hanson together? or split them between Westwood and Kaymer? I'll take a guess at Molinari/Molinari vs Furyk/Mahan Westwood/Jimenez vs Woods/Stricker Kaymer/Hanson vs Z.Johnson/Kuchar McIlroy/McDowell vs Mickelson/Fowler biggest decision is having to drop someone from Harrington/Donald/Poulter/McIlroy/McDowell. Can't see Kaymer being left out this afternoon, and if Westwood will only be left out if he's not 100% fit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
