Europe imploding in the first set of matches

 

[ATL96Steeler]

3-1 USA leads after the morning sessions. Tiger and Reed the only team to lose.

The Euros losing the match vs Finau and Koepka was a major blow, they led that one most of the day and lost on the 18th.

Something you brought up was the crowd.
Has not been the normal crazy loud home field Ryder Cup crowd. Maybe this is a factor.

Possibly the luckiest bounce in Ryder Cup history happened on the 16th hole in the morning four ball matches.
Tony Finau. Par 3.

Check it out.

As usual the US is getting shellacked in alternate shot play.

Clearly he meant to do that! #theseguysaregood

It is amazing to watch how lopsided the foursomes matches are.

Afternoon sweep by the Euros. They lead 5-3 after day one.
Total domination in the Foursomes matches.

Funny to see Fleetwood hit a Nike 3 wood on the first tee. I thought the only place I'd see a Nike club was a Play It Again Sports bin.

Phil and Douchambeau played every hole the long way. Phil should have the day off tomorrow... he sucks.

 

[Ricky Roma]

Excellent comeback by Team Euro.....what a rout in the afternoon.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Wow...USA gave it all back and some.

Phil really looked in poor form...he's going to be motived to get a point somehow....probably on Sun....Jim should have enough balls to sit him on Day 2...get him ready for singles.

LOL - please clarify - who are the good guys? Both teams have guys that folks from all over love and hate (sometimes that applies to the same player). For starters how can anyone not like guys like Rose, Fowler, Finau or Fleetwood? They are model citizens & very good golfers. Both sides also have lighting rod type personalities like Poulter, Tiger, Rory & Garcia. Oh well - these are the type of guys who make this fun to watch.

20 years ago I would have read your reply to mean Team USA, but in this era lots of folks like to root for the opposite & of course stir up the pot.

It's a team match. One of the teams is representing my country, so for the purposes of this match they're "the good guys" imo. That wasn't a characterization about whether I think any of them are good people or not.

What a nightmare. Why can't Team USA play foursomes ? This was worse than usual.. much worse, but it's been their history regardless of who's on the team.

He should definitely sit out until Sunday. He's always been a favorite of mine, but I think he's done.

They got trucked so this is kinda nitpicking, but he's never been a great ALT Shot player...can be wild leaving his partner in a some bad spots that he's used to getting out of. I would've just waited to play him in the Sat 4 ball match.

 

[Montalban]

Swept in the afternoon matches. What an embarrassing performance by the U.S. A bunch of selfish, greedy bastards all out for themselves who can't play as a team. I hope Europe blows them off the course in the next two days.

Saturday Morning Fourball Matches:

Garcia & Mcilroy VS Finau & Koepka
Casey & Hatton VS Johnson & Fowler
Molinari & Fleetwood VS Woods & Reed
Poulter & Rahm VS Thomas & Spieth

 

[Zooky]

I wonder if Spieth will be benched for tomorrow’s afternoon foursomes. He was dreadful in that session today.
