Today is surely making him regret some of those choices. 1/2 point here, 1/2 point there could’ve been the difference.

Morikawa and English a second time after they were awful Friday. I’d say Scheffler and BdC yesterday wasn’t great either, neither was playing well.
IF this comes down to MacIntyre / Burns and Mac puts them over the top…I may have a stroke

Giving both teams half a point when a guy can't play is dumb. It should be a forfeit and a full point.
Retaining the cup isn’t the same thing as winning it. Go ahead and demonstrate Shane but you were in a battle today.
I get that it would be really weird to have an alternate “back-up” player for a Ryder Cup that sits all weekend with his thumb up his ***….but how about this for a rule change:
Somebody can’t go? Then the Captain or a Vice Captain has to play or you forfeit the match

Hell, show up in one of those steel halo’s in a wheel chair!
No doubt you were on the right side of the betting odds and by a long margin, but having that half point in the pocket turned out to be a huge emotional cushion for Europe.
Did Colin get a putt within 2 feet from outside of 10 feet during any match?
Every single putt 2-3 (or more) feet short

Jose Maria Olazabal looks like he could star in an adaptation of "The Old Man and the Sea."
i am not a golf guy, but someone explain to me how giving a half point for an injured player isn't the dumbest rule in the history of any sport, ever. if the retirement happens before the match then there should be an alternate. if it's during play then the opposing team wins a point.
i thought conceding putts was stupid (it is), but this one takes the cake.

I agree. They should lose a point if they can't play. It's like forfeiting a match.
It’s been the rule for 46 years. The US won because of it in 1991. Keegan has had 14 months to ask for changes to rules that he didn’t like and he never made a fuss. Until today. It’s disgraceful for a US Ryder Cup captain to not know the rules.
it's also disgraceful for it to have ever been a rule in the first place. and i'd say that regardless of if it benefited Europe or the US.
No doubt it’s a bad rule. But there’s been ample opportunity to change the rule. Keegan had that opportunity months ago and chose not to.
