Really looking forward to this. Once again on paper US have individually the better team but I think Europe seem to be united. Hoping Europe can win for Pádraig

Im not pushed about golf at all so explain this to me: why does it matter which team is united? They arent passing the ball to each other ------------- El Puto Amo |

Because they play as pairs in four out of the five rounds. Playing with someone you're comfortable with and can bounce off is key especially in the foursomes imo. |

Day 1 Foursomes Match 1 Garcia/Rahm vs Thomas/SpiethMatch 2 Casey/Hovland vs Morikawa/Johnson Match 3 Fitzpatrick /Westwood vs Koepka /Berger Match 4 McIlroy/Poulter vs Cantlay/Schauffele Some great match ups there Match 1 is a cracker too hard to call I'd go for half Match 2 has USA written all over it Match 3 think that's another half but Koepka could swing it Match 4 hopefully McIlroy and Poulter experience has enough to win Europe points for in this one |

Yep, Garth Brooks representing us tomorrow will give his campaign to do 5 in a row in Croker a big boost. Heading to this tomorrow and the weekend. I don’t know of any other sport where you’d be watching 12 (give or take) of the top 20 in their sport in an afternoon - majors ye but obviously you wouldn’t be watching their every shot if down the field. Regardless, can’t wait and an away Ryder cup always an event I wanted to be but this is the pinnacle for Irish golf with 2 of our greatest sportspeople ever involved. It may be a long time before it happens again..

There is massive Psychology in the opening pairing I always feel, I know golf is an individual sport and players should only concentrate on their own game but that first game between Spieth/Thomas and Rahm/Garcia could trickle down to that Johnson/Morikawa v Casey/Hovland. Spieth and Thomas picked up 3 wins out of 4 in the last Ryder Cup so it's a good pairing for them

Big call to make it for the foursomes in the morning. Clearly Rory not at the races and sitting out a session might do him some good. Would like to see a Rahm/Sergio Fleetwood/Hovland Westwood/Lowry Hatton/Wiesberger No room for Fitz, Rory, Casey and Poulter. I can't see Paddy leaving Rory out though. He'll play in all 5 based purely on reputation rather than form. ------------- YBIG NPF founder and CEO |

Would have to agree. Always thought the 1/2 was very generous about the States if you had money. 1/4 would have been where I’d put it. Regardless, hopefully they win 5-3 tomorrow and make it a contest Sunday. On paper it was no contest and has turned out that way. Casey/Weisberger was a strange 1st pairing in fourballs when they needed momentum but maybe he sacrificed those. I would hope he doesn’t make any decisions on afternoon pairings until he sees how morning festers. It didn’t look like he took morning form into account at all for this afternoon. Men against boys and hard to see it changing.

This was a crucial match and we threw it away. The guys were 2 up and Hovland missed a few putts to make it 3 UP and game over. To have any chance to need to come out today and win a session. Rory has been dropped for the first time ever. But that American team must be the best ever based on rankings. ------------- |

A tough third session ahead.. Westwood and Fitzy didn’t work and Casey was as bad as Rory if not worse. Fleetwood put points on the board and doesn't get a look in. Hovland and Bernd seems a thrown together. Harrington setting by himself to be absolutely slaughtered. Three sessions in and two of his picks have only played once. ------------- YBIG NPF founder and CEO |

Yeah a few odd selections for today, US again though very strong, hopefully Rahm and Garcia can carry on from Friday morning. Hopefully Hatton can continue his form and drag Casey up a bit, but Johnson and Morikawa have been immense so I'm fearful of that one. Hovland and Wiseberger both played well I thought but again Thomas and Spieth know each others games inside out so hard to see any other winner there Westwood and Fitzpatrick is a fairly odd one neither done well yesterday and they probably would have lost by more had Koepka been on it. Schaufelle and Cantlay have both been in good form so another Red on the board there you have to think. But who knows what will happen

Harrington's picks have been poor. Why does he keep picking Hatton and Casey and then keeps putting Poulter with McIlroy, a pairing that never worked? He should have played Lowry all 4 games Fri and Sat. That being said a lot of the team are playing sh*te. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |
