Bryson Scheffler could be very interesting but I assumed they would play with each other. my call English/Finau vs. Rory/Lowry is probably a loss Scheffler/Bryson v Rahm/Hatton toss up Johnson/X probably a win Thomas/Cantlay probably a win - I think Cantlay can drag Thomas across the finish line. 2.5 to 1.5 I'd take.

I like resting Koepka and Morikawa with injuries. Also like Spieth not playing this afternoon. Berger probably needed to sit too. Some may disagree, but I think playing JT this afternoon to help him get out of struggles makes sense... Dude can be a birdie machine. Not sure I like Finau and English together ?

September 24, 20214 yr with Morikawa sitting today, i'm guessing he plays both tomorrow. he has to play 4 matches. i would have played DJ and Morikawa again this afternoon, then in the morning foursomes tomorrow, then let him rest tomorrow afternoon so he'll be fresher on Sunday for singles. as it is, he'll play up to 36 tomorrow then again on Sunday.

Why not just pair DJ and JT? Also worried that Rory will get his mojo back against English/Finau. I agree but I think he is putting JT with the most consistent US player coming into this to drag him to a win. I can see English Finau being a blow out loss.

I can see English Finau being a blow out loss. Rory wasn't good this morning. Finau/English can certainly lose, I just don't see it being a blowout.
September 24, 20214 yr An optimist could also look at the pairings and say the first match should be a walkover for the USA, the second match could be a slugfest 2 on 1 with Rahm isolated, the third match could bury Rory if he can't best English/Finau and the fourth match provides the opportunity for JT to play himself back into form against a beatable pairing.

Not sure I like Finau and English together ?? I think the Finau/English is the "I'm going to try to take 3 and if Finau and English halve or god forbid win, bonus" pairing. I don't like resting Morikawa unless he asked for it. rest him once tomorrow.

Not sure I like Finau and English together ?? I'd have Spieth out there because he can get the crowd going like no one else on US team. but I suppose he's planning to play him twice tomorrow. I can see playing JT now to see how you are going to play him tomorrow. Edited September 24, 20214 yr by dcar00

September 24, 20214 yr Xander going to need to make his putt because the Nazi practically has a gimme

YUCK yeah. thats where you say fuck it, regardless of where DCB is, and don't worry about going over with Hatton's kick in. scottie needs to play his game like he doesnt have a partner.

September 24, 20214 yr I hate BDC so it’s going to be hard rooting for him but I’m going to suck it up.
September 24, 20214 yr "Going towards the right side of the green" Lands 20 yards left of the fairway.
September 24, 20214 yr Just now, ztejas said: "Going towards the right side of the green" Lands 20 yards left of the fairway. And then... "came out of that one a little bit, heading right" Ball in middle of the fairway.
September 24, 20214 yr Lady commentator on #1 walking with group 3 is horrible so far... Says Rory's "shot headed right" and it ends up left in rough Says Finau "shot going right" and it's center of fairway
September 24, 20214 yr If Hatton's gonna keep hitting approaches like that then Scottie and DCB are gonna have their work cut out for them.
September 24, 20214 yr that d.j. tee shot warrants a little wifey nod... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJErTW8B1_n/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=794cade8-c370-4f9c-8638-c2e37c8feff0
