“The hat doesn’t fit, that’s all.”

That’s the best the PR team could come up with?
He's got a massive head... What more can he say.

Pretty crazy that team USA hasn't special ordered him a hat by now.

They cant really customize to a player. They pick a vendor, who pays hansomely for the exclusive rights. Headwear isn’t like a tee. Different vendors have different fits….different crown sizes…etc. All they can do is give the players options from their line.

Eh. How hard is it to put a clause in there forcing the vendor to ensure the hats fit all players? Hell, it's honestly a pretty terrible look for New Era to not ensure their hats fit every player.

There is a reason New Era doesn’t sign up for this…it’s tiny revenue-wise. Only lower cost providers see any worth doing it any kind of customization, and they won’t pay for the rights. It’s a branding exercise for NE with a goal of spending as little as possible.
 
ZJ adamant that all of this (caddie Joe Lacava stuff) was diffused after the match and that he doesn't really understand or know what the Rory parking lot video is all about.

I like it. If Morikawa, Cantlay, Homa, and Harman can all play like they did today I think they'll win their matches. If Burns, Scheffler, or Brooksie can steal a point or two in those 3 matches then it'll get really nerve racking for the Euros.

Of course, if Europe comes out like they did both mornings? There's zero chance.

USA could go 6-1 with 5 halves Europe would still retain the Cup. It’s not impossible (or unprecedented) but it is highly improbable.

Anyway, cya guys at 5:30 a.m.
 
Yeah, standing in the dude's line is not cool
He didn't stand in Rory's line. He was waving his hat in celebration near Rory because that's where he'd been standing when Cantlay made his putt. Rory told him to **** off and get off the green and he said something back to Rory before moving away and being yelled at by Lowry and Rose and barking back at them. Sure, he probably should've just walked away without saying anything, but for Christ's sake.... it was the only big moment the Americans have had all week. Give it a second IMO.

yep
 
Whole different game if Rahm and Hovland don't make those 2 long putts on 18 yesterday. Game of centimeters
Yeah. It's 9 1/2 to 6 1/2 without those.

A 25 foot putt is 12% on average for PGA Tour players.

A 35 foot putt is 5% on average for PGA Tour players.

Hovland's was 26 feet. Rahm's was 33 feet.

Insane.
 
LaCava comes off like a huge oaf IMO. You don't do that when the other side still has a putt to halve the match. That putt Rory has could literally decide the Ryder Cup. I don't care if Cantlay made the happy Gilmore putt on 18, it's just beyond poor form to do whatever the heck LaCava was doing out there. On top of that he's a freaking caddy. Go putt the headcover on the putter and stay the hell out of the way. Between Koepka acting like a Karen in the presser and LaCava's antics today it's been almost a complete embarrassment so far. Koepka shouldn't even be there but that's a different discussion.

Not joking. Should have never been allowed to play Ryder Cup again.

because? He won a major and was T2 at the masters this year. FYI the ryder cup pits the best americans against the best euro’s and has nothing to do with the pga tour

I don't care if he won every major. He made his choice. Should never have been a captain's pick over guys who were loyal to the game. The Euro's didn't put winning at any cost over integrity. Luke>>>>>Zach. On top of that the guy acts like he's John Wayne out there but can't stop throwing sucker punches at anyone he deems below him. Waaahh Bryson, Waaahh Cantlay, Waaahh Rahm. Great stick obviously but should have been all around good guy Keegan (apologies to El Mecanico) out there this week.

:lmao: loyal to the game? you mean like the europeans that leave the dp world tour to chase more money in america? maybe they shouldn’t be playing in this either

You know the difference.
 
Yeah, standing in the dude's line is not cool

if that was what happened I'd agree

but that's not what happened

he's in the general vicinity which is a distraction while Rory is trying to read his putt, so I'd say Joe was still out of line

46 years looping on the tour for the best of the best (Ken Green, Couples, Love, Justin Leonard, Dustin, Tiger, now Cantlay)

But anytime a caddy impacts a player other than his own I think you have to default to "that's not OK."
 
there's another angle where it looks worse - LaCava never gets close to Rory's line but man is he out there way too long - but not posting it bc it's not about the caddie, ever

***************

through #3, #2, and #1 the first three matches are all square. Euros can four corners this thing, USA needs an full court press early to build some mo. probably ain't happening eh.
 
well that didn't take long

hopped in the shower, 15 minutes later there are 5 matches on the course
  • Cantlay (Match 3) is 1 Up through 3
  • the two matches in front of him USA are 2 Down
  • the two matches behind him USA are already 1 down
team has one guy playing with heart the rest have been bums

Thomas and Spieth are 23rd and 24th amongst the two teams in stroke gained
 
Comeback? Need to look at the other end of the spectrum

Largest margins of team victory in Ryder Cup history for Europe is 9 (2004 & 2006)

They are leading 5 of the first 6 matches (won the first hole in 4 of them)
 
Why the **** would you concede a 3 footer for the title? That's the ultimate knee knocker. Craziness.

I mean they have radios and stuff but unlikely they all knew the exact situation except that Europe was gonna win at some point, and that spieth would show up because the tournament was over.

I was out and just finished watching the recording.

Announcer: "there's no way that will be conceded"

1 second later, Tommy picks up his ball as Ricky gives it to him.

Was pretty shocking, tbh.
 
lexy is playing this weekend in Vegas, she has a good look at birdie at one after her drive went in a fairway bunker. Would be pretty cool if she can make the cut...
