The Ryder Cup

Sky have been trailing the whole thing so much though, daily updates on practice etc, yet all I can do is stare back at Butch's wonky eye.

remember last time the europeans were ahead after two days but the americans won the singles.

The only thing is the europeans seem to be weaker but they do have a chance.

Question for our friends in the Emerald Isles: I was watching Woods victory in Ireland on television here in the States and was wondering if it was broadcast live here, I mean it must have been 10pm in Ireland when the match finished up. What time does it get dark over there? (yes, rub question but I'm fascinated by dusk).

Has anyone ever been to the disco at the Belfry? Fucking fantastic, you can go outside and everything.

I was a good boy, played snooker til three, turned up for the meeting then went round the three hole course in a very large score.

I see Tiger Woods has started being narky already!

Search: Olazabal dancing, Nicklaus and Jacklin in 1970 (? I think it was then), Seve and Olazabal playing together.

Destroy: Corey fucking Pavin.

Search: Seve laying into his caddy after plopping one in the water. I don't know if it was the Ryder Cup or not, but Search anyway.

I used to live in Olazabal's home town. I saw him receive the keys to the city or something like that. He wore his green jacket. It was very exciting.

Jacko and Nicko - '69 (gotta be an odd-numbered year)?

I fear a return to the old pre-'83 days this year - a big win for the US, none of this down-to-the-last-coupla singles business.

I shall be following this on the Web and by mobile phone. Hmmph.

Darren Clarke got off to an absolute flyer, some beautiful shots played to get three birdies in the first three holes. His game with Bjorn against Tiger (started slow, now good and boring) and Azinger (fitful).

David Toms is playing well, as is Lee Westwood, a welcome return to form for him.

Does anyone know what the "ill-considered" comments that Scott Hoch has come out with in the past that the Sky people can't stop harping on about. He has a very cruel face.

Sky's coverage is very very comprehensive, especially the interactive stuff.

has anyone commented on europe's beige cardigans yet? god, whose idea was THAT?

Why are some of the Americans wearing white shirts and some blue (azinger and at least one other?)

We do usually do well yes, but we're doing much better than I anticipated.

Woods looks like he's playing on his own rather than as a team, in fact I never saw him say a word to Azinger. Now Clarke and Bjorn are Dormy two. Radio 5 are suggesting that Tiger won't be appearing in the foursomes this avo.

The other (I may be wrong here) is where all four tee off, but then they take shots in turns from the drive they prefer.

This is repeated tomorrow with singles on Sunday, where every team member plays.

and cheers for the job luck, may have an interview on Thursday!!

I can only assume that people go and watch golf live because they don't know how exciting it is via the BBC website.

Nah - foursomes is where each team only has a single ball, and the partners play alternate strokes. E.g. Garcia tees off, Westwood plays the approach, Garcia putts... next hole, Westwood tees off.

What you describe *is*, I think, a legit variation on foursomes, but I can't remember what it's called.

This foursomes business could lead to some terrible quarrels, couldn't it?

As close as the last nine Ryder Cups have been, I think I'm right in saying that the Americans have comprehensively won the Sunday singles six, maybe seven times. At the mo', Europe are up in five, down in one (Westwood getting stuffed by Verplank) and level in two of the eight underway - which is what you'd expect given the top-heavy nature of Torrance's selection. And the US have been fantastic on the back-nine the last two days, so all of these leads may be eroded.

I'm pessimistic. 15-13 to the US I reckon.

This is from me, Vicky, MarkC, Madchen and Cookie!!

“Love my country”

Mustn’t have loved it enough

byson

Fucking hell, that got a bit too close for comfort.

I did expect them to come back in the singles but not quite that much.

Yeah it was always a big ask but they came to close to the biggest singles whitewash ever.

An otherwise pleasant Sunday in my neighborhood has been ruined by the constant stream of loud, low-flying helicopters transporting rich people out to this event. It really has been maddening and non-stop. Glad that everyone is enjoying it on TV though.

At least they weren't F-35s or something

It was only so close because of the crowd. There was a lot of mental exhaustion. Glad Europe got through.

That was an awesome shot from McIlroy after telling some yank to stfu lol

Every now and then I remember this moment and laugh. Just an all-timer from all my sports watching

The fan who caused this was shouting "Freedom".

watched this whole tourney. maybe too much golf to take in in a weekend lol.

lots of take-aways but i was really surprised henley left that putt short on 18. the screws were tightening and that wouldve really made the last couple matches intense. you just cant leave it short man thats the #1 rule

glad they made it interesting at least.

keegan bradley saying that maybe they should have set the course up differently when the usa had literally 2 years to decide how they wanted it set up was incredible. that the big idea they came up with was turning a boring but brutally difficult course into a boring but pathetically easy one was even more incredible. also whining about the half point for each side when one team has an injured player and saying the rule should be changed when you could have tried to reach an agreement to change it over the last 2 years is moronic.

the thing about henley's short putt is that it was perhaps the only real clanger in a pressure situation in about an hour straight across all matches- it really was an extraordinary run of golf from the US team

yes it makes that shot stand out, but it wasn't a cardinal error imo it was just a 7/10 shot- europe starting from where they were meant that the win was inevitable, to actually have brought them to a punch drunk standstill for that period has to be acknowledged as a stunning run- it makes his shot look and seem a lot worse than it was really

yeah they had to run it perfectly and yeah up to that point, they more or less had! they wouldve still won im sure but a couple more intense holes woulda been super cool.

that sand shot was nails though, awesome stuff
