My best guess at this point that Team USA will need 7 or more points, that the Euros will take no less than 4 points tomorrow.

They might want to fly Crenshaw over for a Brookline'sque motivational speech.

 

If they had "only" needed 7 points, maybe they could have pulled it out.
Alas .....

Couldn't even win the day. Euros getting at least 6.5. Or do they stop playing after it's clinched? I don't even know because I've usually tuned out by now.

Not only should Furyk not be allowed anywhere near another Ryder Cup he should be banned from golf.

Lulz  what a shit show.   Euro fans singing “That’s Amoré” but changing the words to “Molinari”

Phil hits shot in water for points that Secure Ryder Cup for Europe...

WOW....

Who the fuck is the Asian lady in the red hat jumping around with the euro players?

9 out of the last 12 ryder cups, complete domination 

 

god save us when poulter is announced as ryder cup capt

Tiger and Phil playing for 10 mil in a month, they don't give 2 shits about this

damnit, this is Jack's fault, he's the one that wanted all Euros invited.

I don't know about you guys, but I CANNOT wait to pay to watch Tiger and Phil trade awkward jokes and half-smiles over 18 holes of golf, while Phil tries to rekindle the magic by hitting a handful of "Phil shots" from shitty lies, and Tiger ultimately grinds out an unspectacular victory.

I thought he was going to say he made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Tiger was a good pick.  Phil wasn't.  Combo of poor form and the stress of the Fed Ex Cup finals really sucked it out of everyone.  What a stupid thing to have it the week after.  

Let’s not gloss over Watson and his continued garbage ass Ryder Cup play. He’s so soft.

pay to watch?

Phil's jet is already taxing toward the runway.

Is it not still pay-per-view, or did the backlash get them to change it? Shows how much I've been paying attention.

I have no clue, didn't know it was pay per view

Remind me every two years to tell myself that golf rankings don’t make a shit in this tournament.

Apparently still pay-per-view

Their pay-per-view match is set to air across the Turner networks and will likely feature multiple side wagers to keep the audience tuned in regardless of the overall score.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas likes Woods more now than ever against Mickelson. The money line for Woods has moved to -220 at the Las Vegas Westgate SuperBook. That means bettors would have to wager $220 on Woods to net $100. Mickelson is now a +180 underdog, meaning a $100 wager on Lefty would make a $180 profit.

Ian pretty much summed it all up when he talked about he wanted to make this team, not that he wanted to get his card back or just play good again, make this fucking team.

psst - they don't give shits about that either (as they will make more than that in endorsements around the event)

Or maybe they just suck 3 out of 4 weekends now. Tiger had his one good one last weekend so...

They’re going to set up whistling straits At 9000 yards lulz 

Monster drive by Noren on 18. Bigger putt to send us home with a proper....What an ass kicking.

Fucking mortal Kombat fatality there. 

So we beat McIlroy, Rose and the human buzzsaw Tommy Fleetwood on Sunday, but only scored 1.5 points in the other 9 matches. Yep, sounds like a Ryder Cup in Europe.

Watching this debacle gives me no interest in watching tiger and phil fucking around on a golf course. I'm out on that steaming pile of shit.

I can't wait until they use that johnny sharp ag math to tell us how successful it turned out. I would not pay $10 for it. I would pay $100 for a "Tiger all-access" at the Masters or British though.

Reed was a disaster Fri and Sat.  dunking 9 irons into ponds kind of disaster.  he should shut the fuck up.

I gotta say that I wasn’t the least bit surprised at the results. We should just go ahead and draw from the senior tour for the next Cup.

Fuck nostalgia.

We had 5 clear pairings (DJ-Koepka, Spieth-Reed, Watson-Simpson, Fowler-Thomas, Woods-DeChambeau) and Furyk played 1 of them.  Historically awful captain who allowed the players to tell him what to do.  

The team unity we had supposedly discovered was also revealed to be a complete sham.  

 

 

There are many reasons for USA's loss, but the common theme with the Ryder Cup over the last 20+ years is that, IMO, the US players are overrated using the World Golf Rankings.  The European Tour is very, very good.  Check out the wiki for the ranking of the tournaments with the most points.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_World_Golf_Ranking

They consist of the majors (as it should be) and then the top US tournaments all rank very highly.  For sponsor and TV money the PGA Tour touts itself as by far and away the best tour in the world.  It probably is the best tour, but I don't think it blows away the European Tour.  The European players are great.  IMO, that is the main reason they usually kick our ass.  My view might be different if our losses were fewer and we didn't get blown out as much.  After 1983, our record is 6-11 and we've blown them out (i.e. won by 5 or more points) twice-08 and 16, and they have blown us out 5 times-85, 04, 06, 14, and 18.  They're just damn good overall.

truth.  nothing to do with drama, team chemistry, assholes, wives, etc bull shit.  we just suck compared to the euros. 

 

and fuck patrick reed.  he's a whiny bitch looking to find someone, something else to blame for his poor showing.  oh no, jordan wouldn't play with me cause i'm a dick so i carried a grudge all weekend and fucked up my play.

Apparently Dustin Johnson and Brooks were trying to fight in the Europe Team room on Sunday night... what a disaster of a team. Showing more fight between each other than on the course 

Also, with 1-2 exceptions, the Euros aren't a bunch of prima donnas and actually see the Ryder and all the tradition and team effort as maybe the #1 thing in golf.  Us?  We're always like the beer league softball team - a few bombs but most of the time can't really play the game the way it was intended.
