I find it funny some posters getting all excited about Europe playing USA and calling them 'we' but would hope the Ireland rugby team (which represents the whole island)does absolutely sh*t.

I don't care about bookies and I'm certainly not moaning either. I made a post, you replied. I think maybe you're the one with the problem.

Some lads just love a good moan.
Sky just hype up that tension and you fell for it. The odds don’t lie and as the previous poster Europe were always odds on. Edited by Baldrick - 01 Oct 2023 at 9:05pm |

The bookies who are never far away didn’t have Europe any better a price than 1/40 for most of today
It was never really in the balance They were 1/100 when everyone was losing their sh*t saying this isn’t over yet

Lowry wasn't playing well. Spieth was actually playing fairly well today. Lowry showed signs of recovery, but then wouldn't capitalise when the opportunity came. He followed up a few good holes with awful tee shots.
MacIntyre was 3 up at the one point, and had missed one of the easiest putts of the day just before his game became meaningless. He was under pressure at 1 up. I had zero faith in either of these two had it come down to needing a half. Fleetwood would probably have delivered regardless, but we'll never know due to Fowler. Fitzpatrick should have put it to bed much earlier. Europe missed an opportunity to rack up an impressive score. |

Definitely not the case. Lowry clearly wasn't trying at all once the match was over (he was just going around the course hugging everyone) and still got a half against Spieth, who played terribly all week and didn't win a single match. Lowry has plenty of experience of delivering on the big stage, especially in front of a "home" crowd and I'd have been amazed if he hadn't halved that match at an absolute minimum if it had still been in play. Most likely he'd have won it. MacIntyre was at 12 for a reason, they hid him back there. But the lad he was up against wasn't playing great either so he may well have still won his match. But Fleetwood and Lowry were intentionally put in at 10 and 11 to finish the job if needed, there was no chance of MacIntyre's match ever mattering. Ironically MacIntyre's stats for the week ended up looking really good. Rose absolutely carried him to a point and a half the first two days and then he got to play a nothing match down the bottom of the order on the Sunday and won that too.

Lowry or McIntyre were never going to deliver if under pressure. It was either Fleetwood or bust. I think Fleetwood would have taken Fowler, but he himself was relieved when Fowler put it into the water. It took away the pressure. America did well to take it to the 3rd last hole of the 11th game. We sh*t the bed a bit. Lots of nervous rookies. Homa is built different. |

That tournament was over a good hour before Fowler found the water. At that point it was just a question of which out of Fleetwood, Lowry and MacIntyre was going to hole the winning putt and thanks to Fowler it ended up being Fleetwood at 16. But Fleetwood was winning that match anyway and there's absolutely no way all three of him, Lowry and MacIntyre were losing their games. I was watching it on the world feed so maybe it was easier to see that there without all the hype and manufactured drama on Sky.

As much as the task force has improved things for the USA team the insistence of the old boys as vice captains is still holding them back. Europe get people who are in and around the tour. All of the US vice captains are eligible and active on the Champions Tour.

I don't really want to waste my Sunday having a back and forth with you tbh. You obviously saw it very differently to me. Like most things. |

There was no bottling. The 3 rookies lost in the middle which was always going to be the case. It was always going to work out
Most points scored at the start and then some at the end. Sweating 😀😀. Sky hype it up to appear more tense than it is. They had 3 matches that could have got the necessary half point in the end. America turned Feic all around. They never closed the gap. It was 5 at the start and at the end and it was like that all day.

Like I said, the points after reaching 14.5 don't matter. Fitzpatrick had an opportunity to take the pressure off his teammates and failed. We are fortunate that Fowler made it easy for Fleetwood. America did well to turn it around. We started to bottle it a bit from the 2nd four-balls. I was sweating most of the day. |
