Today’s pairings:
- Bjorn & Kaymer, McIlroy & Garcia;
- Gallacher & Westwood, McDowell & Dubuisson;
- Poulter & Rose, Stenson & Donaldson.
We’re unchanged. Nothing to fear, nothing to hide.
this thread explains why The Goat drinking emporium had USA and European flags flying outside this morning
It also had Heineken flags and a Tipperary flag - all on flag poles.
I was seething and confused in equal measure for at least 30 seconds but at least this thread explains it and I am no longer confused. I am seething again.

Charlie covers all angles, except when using his right leg…
Any bets, chaps?
A long hitter like Bubba Watson can take risks in better ball knowing he has his partner as a safety net. Sure he’ll get into trouble the odd time but he’ll be a birdie machine and win lots of holes. He’s also likely to play at least 4 times and I take him to be top US point scorer. @Scrunchie, what are the odds?

I’ve backed us at 9/5 outright Bart and may go in again as the closer this gets, the more confident I am

By that logic, the same stands for McIlroy. Just as long as Bubba but more accurate than him. What odds @Scrunchie

Welcome to the forum, Monty. 
It must have been a close run thing with Sandy Lyle as to what your new name would be?

I think Europe have a weak captain and genial Tom Watson will exploit it.
What’s all this crack about the “captain”. Why is he even called a “captain”, when he is a manager. All he does is select the players, not exactly rocket science.
Ryder Cup opening ceremony day is always special, and today will certainly be no different.
What time is the ceremony on at? I’ve to go for my daily walk now so I’ll record it. Opening session fourball pairings to be announced after the ceremony.
I believe that we will win.
Yes indeed, pal.
I’ll be on the tea (and coffee!) from 7.15am tomorrow morning.
I can’t bloody wait. As you know, I live and breathe for the Ryder Cup.
Di Dougherty handing this poorly enough early on
The excitememt seems to be getting to poor Di alright. Strange comment from her there about welcoming 26 of the greatest golfers in the world on to the stage.
Di plays off low single figures herself, she has let herself go in recent years though.
I saw that fool Ian Poulter been interviewed a couple of days ago.
The interviewer asked him how much of an influence his father had on his career.
Poulter said that his Dad taught him that it was about the winning and not the taking part.
As he stood there with his zero majors.
*Cue @Bart to say something about the Ryder Cup being the biggest prize in golf.
Poulter is a fucking cunt, I hope he loses all his matches
