My personal favorite in the competition is Jason Dufner. He graduated from Auburn University which is the university I will be attending at this time next year. Plus who doesn't love the waggle? :lol:

From the European team, I have to cheer for Lee Westwood. He is such a good guy. He is welcome in my foursome anytime.
 
Ryder Cup predictions anyone? Get it exactly right and I'll give you any ticket. 23, 24, 1970, 1969, etc. No posts after Friday 12 noon Eastern Time (GMT -5)

My guess is USA 15-13 Europe
 
Wow the euro team is looking strong this year, it will be the closest one yet I think,

On a sad note, I'm gettinf prepared to play my last 2 games in a row in the 101st victor harbor classic, last year I was overnight overall leader then finished 14th, this year I'm better prepared, hopefully I go out on a high and return next year some time,

Nice! A drubbing eh? If the Yanks do that, I'll send you three tickets, 20 rare paints, etc my friend.

If everyone on America's team plays like Bubba is in the afternoon 4-Ball then 17-11 is certainly possible :D

Not with what's his face (Belgian?) going berserk as well! 8 birdies and an eagle, by himself.
 
The USA have been playing sensational golf:crazy:
 
No player has ever played more Ryder Cup matches for the USA than Phil Mickelson. Even with a 3-0 start this year (he and Bradley just won 7 and 6), Phil still has a career losing record. Just not a fan...
 
(EDIT - should have edited the above post instead of double posting. Apologies. Put me down for a bogey)

What is going on with all the technical difficulties on the USA broadcast? Audio problems, video problems, etc.

Someone needs to go to Radio Shack!
 
U.S.A. 10-6 after today :) Colsaerts from Belgium played great golf against Tiger in the afternoon 4-balls. Keegan and Phil are unstoppable still. They have the mojo right now.
 
USA are putting on a sensational performance!

Anyone play weekend golf in the meantime? I shot 5 over in comp (best round in my life so far :D) but broke my 8 iron in the process :(
 
Rory nearly misses his tee-time?!?! Sorry, that's hilarious. And I hope his tongue was planted firmly in his cheek when he blamed it on last evening's television broadcasts stating he had a 12:24 EASTERN tee-time.

You're in Central Time Rory!! Sure the Emerald Isle does not have four time zones, but Team Europe could have easily called the guy at his hotel, no? His own phone? Tweet the heck out of him? Send a car after him for crying out loud.

Don't get me wrong, Rory's extremely likeable, and may play well with zero warmup anyway. Inexcusable though, and if he loses, he should rightly get roasted for it.
 
What is happening to Bubba? He could only half a hole where Luke Donald put it in the drink :ouch:

In the meantime, I shot 84 yesterday.

Can't believe I missed the biggest comebackl/ choke in Ryder Cup history :grumpy:

That makes 2 of us. I was busy doing other stuff and did not even see as much as 1 hole being played. I would have loved to witnessed this great comeback by Team Europe. Congrats Team Europe btw. :cheers:

The wrap-up
 
I had to watch after then fact, on a recording at home. Didn't know the outcome. That was hard to watch. Three Americans lost 17 and 18 to lose their match? Then Stricker's nonsense late in his match and it's over. Ugghh.

Full marks to the Euro's in attendance... "you're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing anymore!"

And Mickleson - who has a very poor Ryder Cup record compared to his stature in the game in this country.... and today, as he's choking away a critical point with atrocious approach shots on 17 and 18 - actually smiling and applauding Rose when he drains a bomb on 17 to level the match? What the hell Phil!?!?!? Being a friendly person and a good guy, fine and dandy, but how about playing hard and concentrating on the match? Idiot.

Tiger may never be the Tiger of old. Oh well.

Congrats to the Euro's. A comeback which surpasses that of the American's miracle comeback from the same score a few years back. Why this one is better.

Accomplished on "The Road"
Accomplished without having 30 people running all over the green with the match still undecided.
