Ryder Cup 2023

In foursomes do both players drive and then choose which ball to play or do the players play tee shots at say even or odd holes and alternate shots.

Just 1 person drives and its alternate shot. That's why its important to work out whose driving on which holes or teeing off on par 3's etc.

Someone will tee off on all odd holes and the playing partner tees off on even numbered holes.

Hatton probably plays with Rahm so a good shout for top european players point scorer as he'll be bigger price than Rahm.

Max Homa had excellent record in the recent presidents cup which is like Ryder cup so good value for top USA player.

Flying over tomorrow and heading to the course on Friday, buzzing for this. Hoping Bob Mc gets to play both sessions on Friday otherwise going to look quite daft with the kilts on

The inclusion of hojgaard instead of Meronk is a head scratcher IMO. Decent enough team either way but struggling to see the justification.

I'll obviously be hoping that Bob McIntyre plays well in the games he plays in but I still can't help feeling that he's the weakest player in the team and I would have selected Meronk before him.

However he is in the team on merit and nobody can deny that that's a fact.

It will be bacon roll and coffee time for me at 6.30am on Friday - I'm really looking forward to the big clash.

He went through a great run though and extremely unlucky not to win Scottish Open. Rory birdieing last 2 was just ridiculous.

He qualified automatically on merit, if meronk should have been in the team ahead of anyone it would be Hjoggard.

Bobs short game is as good as anyone on the Euro tour, hopefully a bit fire in his belly and fight brings out the best of him in matchplay.

Aberg is unbelievable, super star of the future. So calm for only having been pro a few months. Another that some folk might not be familiar with but could be a massive asset to the euro team.

Bob's also won a tournament on this course as well as having put in respectable matchplay performances in the US in the past, I'm sure I remember him beating DJ in one a couple of years back.

I'd have probably picked Meronk over Hojgaard (mainly due to the fact the Meronk has won a few times and won on this course this year) but tbh there's not much in it.

There's often room for an unheralded European hero performing above expectation in this event and I wouldn't put it past anyone on that European team.

His biggest problem this year has been a few big numbers at daft moments. He still makes tons of birdies. I think he will be just fine and actually thrive in the team environment. As you said he’s there on merit. It would have been Meronk over Hojgaard for me but we go with who we have.
