Henley hits a 30 footer but Aberg calmly answers from 7 feet to tie the hole. Hat tip to the Euros this morning. They’ve been on cruise control in most of these matches.
This last morning match is big. Pretty tight at the moment and maybe about to get tighter. If we can get a point, maybe that’ll give us some momentum going into four ball.
Speaking of momentum, I’ve seen these things change like a light switch. I’m looking forward to seeing our Ryder Cup rookies get a chance. Hopefully this afternoon.
I'm throwing all the rooks out there this afternoon / everyone that sat. I'm sitting JT, Colin, Henley, and English
Viktor leaves his driver face open and sends it way right on 18. (I’m painfully familiar with that shot.)
RYDER CUP DAY 1 FOURBALLS
| Match | Tee Time | USA | Europe |
| 5 | 12.25pm | Scheffler / Spaun | Rahm / Straka |
| 6 | 12.41pm | Griffin / DeChambeau | Fleetwood / Rose |
| 7 | 12.57pm | Young / Thomas | Aberg / Hojgaard |
| 8 | 1.13pm | Burns / Cantlay | McIlroy / Lowry |
Massive point for Cantlay and Xander
I really like the Griffin / BDC pairing. Fleetwood and Rose will be tough....especially if Rose comes out as "Ryder Cup Rose" who never misses within 20 feet with the putter.
Feels like Spaun can be a great steady teammate for Scottie as well
Let's see if Cantlay's utter doucheness can annoy Rory in the last match.

I got 3 of the 4. Guessing Keegan believes that JT can be a better cheerleader for Cam than Xander. With the way they both played this morning Xander/JT is fairly (badly) interchangeable. None of the other guys sitting deserved being out there
The Nicklaus concession in '69 (or whenever) was a great moment.....but until we rip off a bunch of wins I don't want to hear about how that is "the spirit of the Ryder Cup that all strive for" or whatever that bit about the Nicklaus/Jacklin Award said.
Damn Euros wouldn't do that.
Our boys need to feel that drive they feed off of

I’m a little behind live, and I can change my mind if this session goes well, but this setup (especially with wet/slow conditions) seems too easy for 4-ball, strategy notwithstanding. Everyone aiming for the rough off number 1 tee etc.

Harris English said 18-20 under would win a tour event if it was being played there this week.
I hate lift, clean and place. I hope we don't have it after today.
We need some of our guys to come out of their normal, stoic demeanor like Duval did at Brookline.
And attention Team USA…if you actually make a putt it’s ok to show some emotion instead of “Mr Stoic of course I made that”
The Euros have built themselves up for years by showing emotion, especially over made putts. I swear they create their own momentum that way

It sure is great that we are always “playing through” a commercial break during the biggest moments.
Nobody ruins a tournament better than NBC between their commercials and inane aside bits
How I wish we could get six hours of uninterrupted coverage presented by Rolex.
Young has been solid. Keegan should ride him in both sessions tomorrow.
As I said, Keegan knew that JT would be a better cheerleader for Cam than Xander, LOL
Burns and Cantlay have to find some way to turn their match around
Scottie is completely befuddled

Have you guys noticed if Scottie is using Ted for help when reading his putts? If not, now would be a good time to start.
He’s got to stick one for a tap in or chip in or something like that. Can’t remember the last time his facial expressions have been this lost and stupefied
