This is an absolute embarrassment. They're going to be humiliated on home soil. Three-fourths of these guys just don't care.

The whole thing needs to be blown up. They need to encourage some of the automatic qualifiers to bow out.


No grit. At all.

Hovland walks it in

 

[SofaKings]

Cantlay is our best player out there. Incredible.

Just following online so far - chance to go 2-2 which I'd consider a win.

It is 3-0 right now.

Oh, crap. I wasn't paying attention to the first match with the middle 2 being blowouts. OOF.

 

[TLEF316]

This really is a pretty big gag job. I know they're faster than they are normally, but these are not challenging greens.

 

[Zow]

Ugh. I'm ready to send Henley home already. He looks SHOOK

Yeah, I like Henley because he seems like an everyman grinder, but the moment seems way too big for him.

Is YTTV threatening to drop USA in the middle of the Ryder Cup?

Seems like it lol

I guess their contract ends on 9/30. I'm weirdly having freezes with USA and no other channel...network coincidence.

 

[SofaKings]

Salvaged a point but need to reverse that 1-3 in the afternoon.

same here on the freezes, brutal

Xander comes thru big despite not playing his best leading up...too back others couldn't follow.

Scottie/Burns surely later.

Nope...https://www.rydercup.com/scoring
Burns/Cantlay have their hands full...

Breaking up Cantlay/Xander and sitting Xander? Oooof Keegan...

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah, Sitting Xander instead of say JT (given how he played this morning) is certainly a choice.

 

[Zow]

POTUS is there, will he deport Euros if things go badly this afternoon?

This is the ongoing joke in my regular golf text threads.

 

[belljr]

This USA channel sucks

I had a clever response but will withhold so as not to derail/nuke the thread.

I don't think they can win without JT providing some energy this afternoon or tomorrow...

 

[belljr]

Another blank screen ...I'm done

Only channel that isn't working

Has to be YT related. I'm on Dish and have no problems. Was also streaming from rydercup.com earlier.

LOL at a certain non-player wearing golf cleats.

He's got the AG on standby for a lawsuit if Keegan doesn't let him play Singles.

There's such an on the nose ICE joke to make here...

 

[heckmanm]

I'm a little bummed they no longer trust the viewer to know what "all square" means

 

[Mr.Pack]

Did Spaun/Scheffler just concede easily a 4-5ft putt? And they lost the hole? Wtf did I see

No. Not sure what you're referring to

 

[gump]

So we’re starting this Ryder down 2-0 thanks to Keegan’s 2 months of planning…which he failed to adjust mid-round when he had the chance. Brutal coaching.

 

[belljr]

I hope it's over after Saturday

His upside and energy providing something is our chance now...too bad Xander is sitting on the bench.

Seen a lot of people (including here) saying the Americans don’t care. I don’t follow this enough to know but why are people saying that? They seem to care from what I’ve seen.

Yeah, the "dont care" narrative is obscene.

They're just not playing well/Europe played GREAT this morning.

Scheffler didn't play well this morning but he was also saddled with a partner who was throwing up all over themselves. Now he's playing his own ball in the afternoon but he's up against an absolutely dialed in Rahm on a soft golf course.

There was a pretty big push by some of the top guys to get paid for playing on the team. Some were "reportedly" threatening to not play anymore unless they were paid, which they are this year for the first time. Some are donating it all to charity.

Media dying for a story and Euro spin. That’s it.

The Cup may be decided in the next hour…Euros have some stalwarts in play…If only Xander wasn’t getting a massage.

 

[gump]

If only Phil hadn’t started shrooming…he would have been Captain and Keegan probably playing.

Sort of curious on this.. I'm guessing you are a Xander fan but he's been beyond bad this year.. Not surprised at all he didn't play Four ball. Main reason he may play foursomes tomorrow is that Cantlay is playing so well..

He’s the #2 American if he’s healthy and looked it closing out his match in the morning. We’re down 3-1 and need upside.

 

[WDIK2]

Bradley seems really focused on pairing guys in foursomes that play a similar ball (physically similar as in brand/type). I heard that a couple days ago and he just mentioned it again in his press conference. I get it to a point, but I don't know if he's sacrificing pairing chemistry and complimenting each other in other ways. Don't know. Just seemed like an odd thing to focus on.

That's the question.. Is he healthy.. I love Xander but he really hasn't played well this year

Fair but then he won #17 and 18 this morning with heavy, Xander-esque irons…that’s where data fails.

Cam Young playing great so far. Looks like a guy that never lets his heart rate get too high.

He needs that to rub off on his teammates

The hole looks like a bucket to Fleetwood right now, goodness
