It’s just mind-boggling how much better Europe’s best players play in these things than ours do.
Agreed. There is a kind of “it” factor that comes into play… I don’t like the guy but even someone like Tyrrell Hatton (for example) looked like he was teeming with confidence out there today. Some of our guys, otoh—highly ranked players too—looked like they were barely hanging on. Russell Henley, Harris English, etc. Someone needs to remind our guys that they are world class players and it’s time to go out there and be alphas.

Say what we want about Patrick Reed (and I’ve said a lot), he never needed this kind of encouragement. Maybe we need to be less mister nice-guy.

Yeah but also not entirely surprising. The only thing that really surprised me was Scottie’s poor day. If Rahm, Fleetwood, Rory, Hatton, Rose etc are all playing great and our supposed best are hacking around… It’s a tall task.

Henley was hugely disappointing. Maybe we found something with Young. Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow morning (hopefully). JT having a big afternoon could bode well. He’s a momentum golfer.
It’s not like JT played that well. Young carried him around most of the day.

Scheffler better overall strokes gained than Rahm, loses 3&2. Europe has 5 of the worst 7 golfers, wins the session anyway. I’m losing a little confidence in SG. I did notice Burns(the best putter on the PGA tour) was the worst putter though. Only in America

There was absolutely no doubt that Ben Griffn and Burns were the worst two players on the course, though.

JT might not get the benefit of the doubt this afternoon because he played so poorly this morning.

The winner of Friday's foursomes has gone on to win the last five Ryder Cups.

Then, there was this.

There's only four golf balls in play but we don't see every shot. Hard to believe with all of the money involved. Who's screwed more, the TV viewer or the fan camped out on a hole?

Rory is the public voice of the Euro’s but Rahm is their tank

Him and Hatton remind me of watching Westwood and Clarke who just matched anything an opponent would do and never missed delivering a dagger when the opportunity arose
