2020 Ryder Cup

Canny analysis. You have the potential to be a vice-captain the next time.
In an additional observation some of those Yanks are bad mannered fuckers.

“Paddy has done a great job”, according to Poults.

Paul McGinley correctly making the point that the US team benefits hugely from playing the President’s Cup in off years and that the loss of the Seve Trophy and the Eurasia Cup have bene a big blow to Europe.

There are major structural factors at play here and you’d have to say, some serious self-inflicted wounds on an administrative level.

It’s worrying for European golf going forward, very worrying.

As with the Irish association football team, many of us were very lucky to grow up in an era when Europe could compete on the world stage. We didn’t realise how lucky we were. That era could well be at an end and we may well have to throw in the golf equivalents of Gavin Bazunu, Adam Idah and Troy Parrott with a view to maybe being competitive again by 2029.

Beautiful moment there earlier between Bryson and Brooks

And Caroline

Stephen Kenny not very convincing here in his interview.

You couldn’t play the part for too long. A shame…
You’ll have to rebrand.`

Big Phil lauding Captain Stricker here.

It’s there already. Harrington has that call, he allowed the top 9 to qualify with 3 picks. Sticker allowed top 6 with 6 picks

Harrington is a Captain that lads would want to win for. Lads like Luke Donald and Martin Kaymer have no business near a Ruder Cup squad

He reminds me of Meath’s Andy McEntee. Gormless.

Not having our 13th man, the travelling fans there was a hammer blow. It was a bit like the British Lions in South Africa this summer in that regard.

Massive pressure on Matthew Fitzpatrick at the 18th. He needs to at least halve this match to avoid a record defeat for Europe.

A career defining moment.

That’s a bit unfair, before he turned into a self diagnosing golf psychologist he was as gritty a player as you’d find. 3 majors and he decides he needs to start focusing on his mind game is what done him as a professional. He picked players based on past glories and had a backroom full of yes men that you wouldn’t see in the Clare county board

Fitzpatrick has screwed the pooch

Oh no. Matthew Fitzpatrick hits into the water.

We are staring down the barrel of a record defeat.

Matty Fitz is not a man you want in the trenches.

Our boys will be relying on a passionate tifosi in Rome in 2023 to enable them to bridge the gap in class. And perhaps a Papal blessing.

Team USA had an average world ranking of 9. A record apparently.
