2018 Ryder Cup

Just caught the highlights of the afternoon foursomes. I felt sorry for Olesen sitting the entire day out because it transpired that McIlroy stunk the place out on Friday morning, didnā€™t even make a birdie on his own ball in fourballs and was entirely at fault for their loss. Yet Olesen was sacrificed and had to watch on as Poulter and McIlroy collapsed from 2 up after 2 to lose 4&3. That Spieth and Thomas point at the end could turn out to be pivotal and McIlroy really needs to redeem himself first up against Thomas in the singles today.

This Ryder Cup bollocks is up there with rugby with how contrived it is.

All these chaps trying to act out passion is cringeworthy.

We see the passion of Nordie football on joe.ie most weekends nowadays. Its nice of them to shine a light on how them folks celebrate their interests

I can see guaranteed euro wins for rose, Fleetwood, Molinari and Noren. I think the crucial games are Hatton vs seriously out of form Reed and Garcia who has a terrible singles record against out of form Fowler but who gave one of the greatest ever performances seen in a singles match in wales 8 years ago.
A lot needs to go right for USA to win and itā€™s just a bit too big a task. Thomas, Koepka and Dustin Johnson all have to win and their games are 50/50 encounters on paper. Bubba canā€™t be trusted to beat Stenson either. USA will win the singles but Europe will win the cup 16.5 to 11.5

If Europe secure the win early, would they play out the remaining matches or will they agree to call them a tie.

Thinking of doing a lucky 15 on the last few matches all to end in a tieā€¦

Think they have to be finished mate but ties in final matches is a high possibility if Eur are already winners.

Can you do a lucky 15 on them though?

Iā€™d steer away from the bottom half of the draw kiddo. The entire process becomes meaningless after 14.5 is reached and while they may Potter along for a hole or two the loser, being a gentleman, will concede.

Cue guffaws, buck-leppery and anguish in equal measure. Your lucky 15 would therefore be fucked.

This is predicted on the fact that the Yanks will collapse earlyā€¦

All the crowd are chanting rory rory Rory. This is unreal.

Sweet Devine Jesus . Surely the French have a law that allows use of the guillotine for such fuckwittery .

An untrustworthy and horrible little fucker. Heā€™ll fill the togs again against this useless piece of shut.

Rory one up after three.

Thomasā€™ short game is awful for a player of his standing

Rory is on Fire here.

Heā€™s not at all on fire. Scrambling pars after poor drives, his putting looks good though

Great call from Captain Bjorn leading off with his biggest gun Rory, the Golfer of the Decade.

Wins three holes on the trot. Heā€™s bouncing around.

Some strut on Rory today.
