In my opinion, one of the best weekends in sports.

Europe out to a fast start with a great chip in from Hovland on hole 1

Watching it on TiVO right now. Starting tough.

As an aside, I can't decide if all the Euro-singing is douchbag level lame or cool. I wish I knew what they were singing to help me decide.

European team is playing well and the US just doesn’t have an answer.

ETA I agree with one of commentators that having 3 weeks off is not good compare to Euro players playing up to this event.

Think Hovland doesn’t want the season to end. He is playing lights out golf right now. Just throwing darts. Hole in one on a par 4 too.

ZJ made a lot of stupid picks. Patrick Reed is a jerk, but has an outstanding record at the Ryder Cup and similar events. DJ and BDeC also should be on the team.
Keegan Bradley not my favorite golfer but he got screwed. I thought Glover deserved as shot too. Someone hot (play wise to be clear lol) and mature and the group.

Reed and BDeC both did much better than Justin Thomas and Fowler in the majors this year. Did JT even make a cut in the majors? LOL!
There are a lot of guys that are better than JT. It was a weird pick. But BD had 1 top 10 in 4 majors and 1 MC. Not exactly an obvious pick. Reed was just ok at the majors but he does have a good record in Ryder cup. I just think no one likes him.

He's a jerk, but a jerk that wins at the Ryder Cup. ZJ needed to man up and selected the best team (not the most likeable one).

So it's seems that Zach Johnson has been hiding some facts or maybe just making an excuse. Apparently there is a virus of some kind that has spread through the team.

Zach Johnson isn't a captain. He had some bizarre picks.

Sam Burns to lead off with Sheffler? Stupid. Completely neutered Sheffler. Brook's on the bench? Awful choice.

RC has nothing to do with what tour you play on. It's the best players from Europe vs the best players from America. USA should pick the best team possible. Where they play is irrelevant.

Listening to Johnson’s press conference he was asked if he thought Rahm’s putt was lucky to go in after hitting the back of the cup so hard. (Actually Koepka said it first)

Johnson when explaining what he thought Koepka meant needed clarification the Euro team was down one?

I find that quite odd!!!!

I'll say this. The Euro's got a ton of breaks in the morning session.

Golf gods have a way of evening things out. This isn't over, but Johnson has a lot of explaining to do.

Think Thomas has had a lot of practice this year hitting out of bad spots.
