I want to talk Ryder Cup!

How bout now?*

I'm glad Spaun is playing well. He's a likeable dude*

Any time the U.S. has even a glimmer of hope, Europe jars another huge putt*

JT jars one! *

Unbelievably poor golf from the Americans. Crazy. *
Posted by Tuscy

Lol. Bryson 3 putts from 8 feet, then Scottie flubs a chip short*

Also we deserve to lose for these pants*

NBC’s inability to track the ball on one is unbelievable*

What a top to bottom failure. Fire everybody

So, gonna be 11-4 Europe in the last 30 years. Why do we suck at this?*

At this point I’m hoping for something like 22-6. Tear it all down*

Imagine being in that gallery and yelling at the Euro players while they are pistol whipping us.*

Lol at that shot by Scottie*

Easiest money in a long time. Euros being underdogs coming in was a monster value.

This is an ass kicking*

Scottie and Henley stealing a point would at least keep it interesting going to the afternoon*

Hey at least our boys are getting paid which was very important to them.*

Scottie, Xander and Bryson playing as the worst 3 Americans this morning. No chance*

Rahm is so good around the green
Posted by apusikam

Zero putts*

|
Look at the event totals for putting. Entire difference
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yep. Tee to green the US isn’t playing bad. They just cannot putt*
Posted by snipes824
|
Makes me wonder why they set the course up the way they did
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Even though it’s mostly putting, when push comes to shove, we still don’t hit the shots we need

To a point. But man they really are playing great today. English/Collin made 5 birdies and got

How many go "missing" after this if the orange oompa loompa has his way? /sarcasm*

Why is NBC having so much difficulty tracking the ball?*

Euros are making everything*

Someone get Scottie a cup of coffee. He looks like he’s still asleep*

You have to hit putts to win holes

At least the US have a good looking fit today*

Agreed. Enough with all the stripes.*

Looks like Trump’s visit had the expected effect at Bethpage Black.*

Can someone put this in football or basketball terms? What’s the score?*

Not insurmountable. 15 point lead at halftime in basketball. Definite advantage but

I’d say more like down 10 after the first quarter*

Really shit stuff all around*

Pretty awful performance from the US today.*

Dotard fanboys failed*

We probably should have had Trump play. He always wins.*

|
SG looks much more even overall after the afternoon.
Posted by gvibes

Gained 3 on them and still lost the session. Strategy and pairings matter*
Posted by John Coctostan

the putting has been very frustrating to watch*

Cantlay with a near-shank there*

About as bad a wedge as you’ll see from a pro.*

Danger zone*

thank god for cantlay*

Oh no*

pain*

We need 11 more Cam Youngs.

man scheffler*

almost impossible to win with him playing like this. all that shit below about keegan making

absolutely clowned by Rahm*

playing through is the worst thing in the history of broadcast sports. back to back absolute
Posted by John Coctostan

so bad*
Posted by snipes824

the commercial load is absolutely insane. it's like 30 of every 60 mins*

Lots of the one commercial with Madvillain's All Caps though. What a banger*

Jake Knapp's WAG died at 28? Sadness*

The putting difference right now is stark*

A little untimely, but I love this Cameron Young tweet

scottie can show up any time now. and as we all predicted, JT basically on fire*

another middle of the fairway to like 30 feet. come on man*

|
JJ absolutely carrying him. bizarre*
Posted by John Coctostan

there we go*

and miss. very hard to win if your best player plays like this*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
McGinley is so much better in the booth than Faldo*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I don’t see how you don’t run Cantlay/X back out there*
Posted by GMAW
|
Scheff/JJ, Griffin/Dechambeu, Young/JT, Burns/Cantlay*
Posted by gvibes
|
Xander sits. JT stays*
Posted by gvibes
|
that's insane. JT was by far the worst player this morning. what are we doing*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Not only do the Americans just care less, imo, they also just make these decisions sometimes
Posted by snipes824
|
but like X isn't harris english. he's been a stalwart and was the second best american this morning
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah, I was thinking more JT being in*
Posted by snipes824
|
and of course Donald makes entirely sensible, smart pairings*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
agree. avoided a full catastrophe thankfully*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Holding on here would be awfully big*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
The English/Morikawa pairing was literally the worst possible pairing per analytics? lol*
Posted by gvibes
|
Perfect example of US Ryder Cup strategy.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Per DG, 7 of top in SG today were euros. Dechambeau the only US person there.
Posted by gvibes
|
yeah this shit is bleak
Posted by John Coctostan
|
They've played great golf*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
This is painful*
Posted by snipes824
|
This is like Indiana v Illinois*
Posted by jdl
|
Wow. Aberg/Fitz are -7 through 14?*
Posted by GMAW
|
-8 through 15*
Posted by GMAW
|
Cantlay continues to be reliably awesome*

Does Luke Donald still live in the Chicago area? Maybe I will leave a bag of burning poop on his
Posted by gvibes
|
Give me these pairings in the afternoon:
Posted by GMAW
|
No Morikawa, no Henley looks good to me*
Posted by gvibes
|
henley has been bad, but we need to also discuss scottie looking more like
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Sounds like a worthy heir heir to Tiger to me
Posted by DT
|
Every time I turn around Scheffler is hitting out of some shitty spot that Henley put him in*
Posted by GMAW
|
sure. but i've seen scottie hit a couple irons to 40 feet that he normal puts to 10 feet *
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah. His iron play has been indifferent when he hasn't been bailing Henley out.*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
I like it.*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Scheffler being down 4 is not gonna cut it
Posted by snipes824
|
It's all of it

5 dn. Going to be over soon*

Combo of Europeans being good and Henley being straight ass*

The OWGR has long overinflated US events. Russell Henley is not the third best player
Posted by GMAW
|
I generally ignore OWGR, but does DG also overrate US events?*
Posted by gvibes
|
Today, he's not the third best player in the world named Russell.*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
f owgr. i don't care about that at all. SG is the only data that matters
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Maybe chill on the commercials a bit NBC*

I'm sure when they get YTTV to extract more out of us to keep carrying NBC...

Jesus Christ this is a putting disaster for the USA*
Posted by Mrap24
|
spectacular from Hatten there... goodness*
Posted by uofi1998
|
did i hear them say earlier that since it's lift clean and place they can swap the ball out?
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Henley is straight ass so far*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I'm sure there's an evens and odds reason, but I don't understand the #1 player in the world...
Posted by uofi1998
|
By basically any metric, Henley has been a top 5 american for a year plus
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Henley's been great this year. I'm not sure we should see him again until Sunday.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
The other issue is Morikawa is here because his name is Morikawa.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Bad enough he's on the team. Worse that he's playing this morning.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Give me Griffin and Burns together... give me one of those with English...
Posted by uofi1998
|
also now you have a group of rookies who are going to feel crazy pressure to catch up
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Give me Scottie on 1.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Not the only one*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
USA putting isn’t great to get started*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Henley instead of sheffler on the odds seems like another bad choice*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Why was Fitz allowed to hit 2 shots in a row?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Re-sets for every tee shot
Posted by jdl
|
He hit the chip on 1 and then the putt, didn’t he?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
No, Aberg made the putt *
Posted by jdl
|
LOL Rahm *
Posted by jdl
|
Would have liked a shorter birdie chance, JT*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Beefy got it covered*
Posted by uofi1998

LOL.*

Lol. What a start. *
Posted by Tuscy

What a great matchup to lead things off... love the JT/Bryson pairing.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaymn... wet course is the only thing that kept Bryson from driving the 1st*

Bradley picked literally the worst statistical pairing possible for match three. Lovely*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah. Not good.
Posted by Chicago1995

I just can't believe we willing are giving up almost 2/3 of a stroke from the jump
Posted by John Coctostan
|
This takes feel like an awfully strong reliance on golf analytics.

That’s 100% fair

I think you want to play everyone once on Friday. Sacrificing those two v

That’s not a bad thought. But the teams otherwise are so closely matched I hate the idea
Posted by John Coctostan

Ok, here are my guesses as to Friday groups
Posted by GMAW
|
here is my friday guess
Posted by John Coctostan
|
My alarm is already set for 5:45. How can you miss the first shot?
Posted by GMAW

Bryson leading off and driving #1 would be fun.*

Been getting up insanely early anyway... it's wheelhouse time. Cannot wait!*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Was thinking the same thing about Bryson and Young.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Morikawa/Burns is my guess. Morikawa is great tee to green. He just hasn’t made anything
Posted by GMAW
|
That's probably right.
Posted by Chicago1995
