The Ryder Cup

[Del Woppio]

Great session that. But can't believe how many makeable putts they missed, some of those matches were tighter than the scores made them look. Putt for dough, I guess! Great start, looks like being a really close competition

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Couldn't believe that stat I heard about Mickelson on comms. 192nd out of 193 players on the PGA Tour this year for driving accuracy.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just looked, Finau is 180th and Fatrick is 182nd. To have three players who are in the bottom 7-8% on the tour off the tee isn't great round here.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

McIlroy/Garcia vs Koepka/Finau
Casey/Hatton vs Johnson/Fowler
Molinari/Fleetwood vs Woods/Reed
Poulter/Rahm vs Thomas/Spieth

Interesting that the US partnerships don’t change - not suggesting that they are a team of 12.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's becoming more and more tactical in terms of course set up. They choose courses with wide open fairways as typically they drive the ball further but are less accurate, we go tight. I thought our crowd today behaved like Americans, not sure that's a good thing

DJ missed some absolute shockers.

Surprised Tiger is getting another go. He didn't look anything like right this morning.

I'd always have Rose playing if possible, that's my only quibble with our picks.

Woods was excellent for first 3-4 holes, then just lost it. Mickelson is looking like a shocking pick. Maybe Rose needs a blow after his efforts in the US over recent weeks.

Hold them in the morning, and it’s looking good.

Too much booing though.

It's because the match is on the continent. Valderrama was similar in 1997. Let's face it, we face a bear pit over there so returning the favour seems fair enough.

Woods looked okay at times. Mickelson and Dechambeau was carnage. They were fucking awful.

We call them out for the uncouth, inbred scumbags they are though - President of which is Tom Lehman. We shouldn't regress to the same level. Going ape when they miss a put is just shitty in my view, going ballistic when we sink ours is the way to go.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Those days are gone in this particular weekend of fun and games. The way they acted at the Country Club killed Ryder Cup crowd sportsmanship dead. And Kiawah Island was no better. So basically, fuck em. I hope their Godawful wankshaft of a golf-loving President is crying on Sunday.

 

[visage]

Think of it this way...whatever happens tomorrow, Wolves can't go below 12th place this weekend. That's perfectly ok at this stage. But if we lost 5-0 and loads of our big players had an absolute shocker, there'd likely be knock on effects and you wouldn't really fancy us at Palace the week after.

All right, calm down Dean.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

All right, calm down Dean.

You're lucky I like you.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good start again this morning. Up in three matches so far.

 

[Del Woppio]

Rory is BANG on his game today. Cracking start again!

 

[Jack Regan]

I do often wonder now watching the highlights whether they deliberately pick the most horrible clothing choices for both teams on purpose. Surely it can't be difficult to design a few shirts that aren't quite as hideous as those on display this weekend?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looking very good indeed so far.

 

[Johnny75]

Can't miss that many putts and win Rory.

Still should win but a lot tighter than first thought. Oleson, Rahm, Garcia and Stinson all looking good.

 

[Jabbawolf]

If Casey can nick his match on the 18th, things will look easier.
