I tend to agree, surprised with the Casey-Hatton pair the most.A little surprised Bjorn left the vets on the bench. Furyk put out his 8 best. I liked Europe's chances going in, but they need to hope to not dig a hole early, as I'm not sure they'll be favored in any of the early matches...maybe Rose/Rahm.
Yes, feel like a Garcia/Poulter pairing fits a lot better there.I tend to agree, surprised with the Casey-Hatton pair the most.
The Woods/Reed vs. Molinari/Fleetwood should be awesome.
Yeah, not waking up early for that.Fourball pairings for Friday morning at Le Golf National:
2:10 a.m. ET Koepka-Finau vs. Rose-Rahm;
2:25 a.m. ET Johnson-Fowler vs. McIlroy-Oleson;
2:40 a.m. ET Spieth-Thomas vs. Casey-Hatton;
2:55 a.m. ET Reed-Woods vs. Molinari-Fleetwood
This dude was on itFrom Shane Bacon on Twitter:
Hearing from a couple of people that know things that it’ll be Reed and Tiger together, with Spieth playing with JT. Also, looks like Phil-Bryson and Rickie-DJ. With Webb-Bubba likely, Finau lands the golden goose in Koepka.
I think Molinari-Fleetwood takes Reed-Tiger to the woodshed tomorrowI still believe the US wins non-dramatically and the first pairings enforces that. Spieth won’t shrivel with JT, and Reed will energize a tired Tiger.
Afternoon will probably be worse since it's alternate shot.If you guys like commercials you should wake up and watch this crap. Show 4 shots. Show 5 commercials, show 3 shots show 5 commercials.
Yeah, woke up at 3:30 and already caught up to live action because of all the commercials. Missing a lot of action with the coverage as well. Wish some high end company paid to show it commercial free.If you guys like commercials you should wake up and watch this crap. Show 4 shots. Show 5 commercials, show 3 shots show 5 commercials.
Key chip in for ReedNo one puts Reed in the Ryder Cup Woodshed. He's the American Poulter -- with twice the game and half the charm.
Of course, seconds later ...I’ve had broadcast on for just over half an hour and they have yet to show the Woods-Reed group once.
This is a problem when you have 4 4somes playing.If you guys like commercials you should wake up and watch this crap. Show 4 shots. Show 5 commercials, show 3 shots show 5 commercials.
Tiger/Reed were even for the last 7 holes....can win fourball doing that.I'll take 3 to 1 but Woods and Reed are a disappointment.
It's not like he doesn't have competition in that regards. Golf for the last decade is full of guys that get hot for about 18-24 months then let off the gas. It is the primary post-Tiger issue golf faces IMO. Golf hasn't really even produced an endearing Faldo-like talent post 9 iron to the escalade.Has anyone come up small in big moments more times in the last few years than Rory?
I love it. Can't just grip and rip, nervous swings will be exposed. I think its perfect.I don’t like the course for Ryder Cup.
He and Bryson seemed like a strange pairing from the get go.Mickelson looks lost.
He and Bryson seemed like a strange pairing from the get go.
Phil needs to play 4 ball. His mentality doesn't mesh well with alternate shot.
Zero chance they lead 5 - 3.US will be lucky to be 4-4 at the end of the day. Long outside shot at 5-3
Yeah they had a 1-down and 2-down match when I posted that, then Euros won 2 holes in a row in both matches.Zero chance they lead 5 - 3.
They'd sign up now for stealing a 1/2 point here if given the option, to end down one for the day.
I called it. He’s gonna mentally implode.God we're getting boatraced this afternoon.
Did we really expect a kid named Bryson to not fold under real pressure? (not that Phil is helping, obviously)
lol. Good point.Bunch of people camped out in that 15 - 18 arena aren't going to see much golf this afternoon.
