Ryder Cup

Really looking forward to this,its one of my fav television sports to watch. Hopefully we can give them a good game and possibly beat them.

I wonder of we will see a Fleetwood Mac combination as well.

I hope it doesn't end up in a 14 14 draw as the Solheim Cup did..If so I would like to see the two Captains go into a sudden death play off,would be great viewing.

Great idea. Or, nearest the pin on a par 3. Would be great viewing.

Was quite surprised when reading an article that USA have only won 4 of the last 13.

Europe to win for me.
USA are bookies favourites - but not much in the odds.
Most of their players have not played for a number of weeks whereas the European lads like Hovland, Fleetwood, Rory, the new wonder kid Aberg etc have been in great form.

The American record away from home in the Ryder cup has been pretty shocking in recent times.

Top European point scorer - Hovland or Fleetwood…both at decent odds and even longer if you back them for overall points scorer. Hovland could be paired up with Rory or possibly Aberg. Hovland the way he is playing will I am sure be one of the first picks in the foursomes and four balls which is what you need to consider as a number of players will be rested and rotated.

American point scorer - very difficult to predict given their lack of playing / form. Max Homa looks decent odds and he’s sounding pretty confident about his game in this weeks interviews. Re the above point on the match being tied Homa said he does not think this should be the case and there should be a winner every time - even if this has to go to a play off. That would be great to watch tor sure.

Done Hovland 5/1 and Schauffele 6/1 each way double for top points scorer

Decent bet.
Schauffele is always pretty solid and has the game for the European courses too.

Greatest sporting event, bar none. Went to two of the Ryder Cups at the Belfry and the atmosphere was electric. Shame that we don't have more matchplay in European and American golf, but I understand the reasons (big names being knocked out early doesn't make good viewing figures).

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 5:25 pm

I fancy Europe this time as well, you could make a good case that Mcllroy, Rahm and Hovland are the best 3 players in the world at the moment. Home advantage is massive as well.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 7:57 am

Great start to the morning up in 3 and tied in 1

Great start for team Europe.

Giving them a dam thrashing.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 9:26 am

Need to absolutely make sure we take all four points here. Superb start. Can’t afford to give them even the hint of a sniff.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:10 am

Won 2 and up in the other 2

jos · Post by **jos** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:14 am

I regard this as the best sporting event to watch.

Some fantastic talent on display.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:39 am

3-0 and 2up with 3 to play in the last

4-0

What a start

If it is 16-0 tomorrow do they still play the singles

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 11:08 am

Some great golf on show this morning.

Fancy Hovland to do something special in his next round too.

What a great start,but I'm not underestimating the Americsns..A long way to go yet..

Agreed, not all over by a long shot but a wonderful morning. In the equivalent ladies event recently (Solheim Cup) USA were ahead 4-0 after Friday's foursomes but Europe clawed it back to 14-14 and thus retained the cup. Hopefully the reverse of this doesnt occur.

Yes but the Yanks get to play off 18.

If ever they're was a body blow to USA then that putt of Rahms at 18 is it. F**King amazing.

I need to add Hovland and Rose to that.

Phenomenal performance from Europe. The last two matches will be crushing for the yanks.

Hopefully no miracle at Marco’s, like

Lip · Post by **Lip** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 6:00 pm

Enthralling stuff to watch,the Yanks will be in bits after blowing those last two games..Well played our lads with those two fantastic putts .. KTF...

I've been lucky enough to see nearly all of today's play on Sky. Wonderful spectacle. The Ryder Cup is probably the best sporting competition in the world, when we are winning! The very best can combust under the pressure.

jos · Post by **jos** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 8:58 am

Getting a bit embarrassing for team USA at the moment, they need to start trying to make a game of it.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 9:13 am

That 9 & 7 from Hovland and Aberg will have further pummeled the yanks this morning.

Incredible.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 9:16 am

It gets a bit dull when it's so one sided. I fancied Europe to win but thought it would be close!

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 9:18 am

Holland/Aberg just won 9 up with 7 to play! A proper hiding. 3 up in two others and all square in the other. No way USA will be shortening the deficit this morning.

After the 9&7 the Yanks have won the next hole in all three remaining matches.
Hoping there is no reaction.

At least with it being in Europe the Americans can't deliberately cheat like they did in 1999.

That 9&7 has definitely changed things. The Yanks relaxed and freed up, the Europeans relaxed and got sloppy.
Rory and Tommy have just put another point on the board.
Need to win the last match now after being 3 up early, currently 1 up.

Lip · Post by **Lip** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 11:15 am

Easy peasy lemon squeezy..Europe mop them up again 3-1 ..Some fantastic golf from Europe.. The Yanks are shell shocked..

Only 4 points needed now, I reckon Zak will front load the players tomorrow with his big guns.

Max Homa has been their best player so far.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sun Oct 01, 2023 11:08 am

First of the 12 singles already underway, drama ahead no doubt. I suspect USA may win more of the 12 than Europe but we only need 4 so must be strongish favourites.
Rahm 1 up after one hole of the first match is a good start.

The Yanks will be kicking themselves for their no show on day 1. Tbf they've done well to make it interesting and shown some fight but it's a bit too late.

I hope the TV coverage was better over there.......10 mins of commercials & 3 mins of coverage here.

HORRIBLE!!.............They ruin every event.
