Ryder Cup 2016

***Benny Brazil*** · 30-09-2016 04:21 AM

So not long to go now until the battle commences.
Thoughts on how it will go? For me the US are favourites and I think it will be close until the singles with the US storming away with it on the final day. Too many inexperienced and out of form players in the European team.

Gutted today. Got a sky go account to watch this afternoons play at work, my company must use a foreign IP of sorts because it doesn't work. 4G at the Gyle is shocking as well.

As for who will win and form. You could argue that based on recent performances the Europeans are in form.

4g Around the gyle has been horrific for months.....I have found switching to 3g as a good alternative

A boy at work said that so maneged to watch it.

Honours very much even in the early stages of the morning foursomes. Personally I think the USA will have the upper hand this year and for the sake of the competition that might be no bad thing.

***BroxburnHibee*** · 30-09-2016 04:16 PM

Poor start. Some poor choices from Clarke.

Too true, coupled with some poor golf from the Europeans and some great play from the American team. Looking like a whitewash in the first series of games.

Rose holed nothing, Garcia & Kaymer were in control and lost 4 in a row. Westwood completely out of sorts. Not sure how McIlroy and Sullivan lost, Mickelson barely hit a fairway all day. One bad shot from Sullivan into the water at 17 costly. Need a big afternoon and try and get it to 5-3 overnight. Mountain to climb though.

***Jim44*** · 30-09-2016 07:41 PM

Better start in the Fourballs. - up in three down in one. Early days yet tho'.

***greenlex*** · 30-09-2016 08:34 PM

Get it to 5-3 tonight and it's game on. Looking possible

***lord bunberry*** · 30-09-2016 09:01 PM

The American crowd are pretty lively

***Benny Brazil*** · 30-09-2016 10:00 PM

That Thomas Pieters looks some player

***GreenNWhiteArmy*** · 30-09-2016 10:15 PM

This evening session has been a joy to watch. Some fantastic golf from the European lads.

5-3 by the close of play would be great after the morning session

Good chance of that but the Yanks are tightening up their game in the last few holes and are not out of it.

**Onceinawhile** · 30-09-2016 10:28 PM

Europe need to pull the finger out and just make sure of the last two points.

5-3 is a good result after this morning.

anything else is bad news after how it was 2 holes ago.

**Onceinawhile** · 30-09-2016 10:36 PM

The Spanish give team Europe another point.

Mcllroy and Peters 2 up with 4 to play.

They win and it's all good for Europe. They don't and it is 6-2.

6-2.....

Hmmmm....

***lord bunberry*** · 30-09-2016 10:42 PM

Beautiful shot into 16 there from Rory. That's the match winner.

**theonlywayisup** · 30-09-2016 11:48 PM

Have the Saturday morning matches been announced yet?

Are they fourballs again?

***greenlex*** · 01-10-2016 07:35 AM

Clarke is gambling with these pairings. Pieters and Cabrero Bello proved themselves yesterday and hopefully Fitzpatrick and Wood can do likewise. A betting man would go 2-2 in this latest series of games.

We'll wait & see, I'm really looking forward to it.

I think we need to win both sessions today to get it done.
Rose and Wood is the only one that concerns me. Rose wasn't quite at it all day yesterday and also needs to get his putter warmed up.

***Golden Bear*** · 01-10-2016 04:57 PM

Help ma boab. Westwood and Willett paired together in the 4 ball. Point down before we start.

***GlesgaeHibby*** · 01-10-2016 05:11 PM

Comeback on for Garcia and Carbrera Bello - all square heading to 18th.

Great half point for the Spaniards. Only 1 point behind overall now, it's all to play for.

***ACLeith*** · 01-10-2016 06:48 PM

Utterly stunning play all round. Birdies not good enough 👍

***Speedy*** · 01-10-2016 07:16 PM

Americans still playing mind games with the gimme.

Sergio will be getting absolutely nowt that's for sure. He's played well and putted great up until now but he still looks very fragile when faced with a short putt.
