Classy fellow!

Someone should make a Ryder Cup thread

The RC app is pretty sweet

That Willett stuff makes me want to hop on a plane right now. I hope the crowd brings their ****ing A+ game. Big brother shouldn't ever feel comfortable the entire time he steps on those grounds this week.

USA#1 let's ****ing go!

Thanks for the link and, jfc, I'm glad my usual golf-commentary is non-Brandel and the only time I hear his stupidity is when I'm linked to it and prepared for it.

I don't know if he'll actually be able to walk the grounds. It's not his fault but Danny won't exactly be a crowd favorite either.

Holy ****, Hal Sutton firing SHOTS at Phil!

Good for hal, phil was a total bitch today as usual. This whole task force/always the captains fault/excuse after excuse is so lame. Its god damn golf. Pick the best players and go play. Play better and you win. Pretty simple stuff yet the us seems to think theres some magic formula that the euros have. Hope this task force went over how to make putts and not choke like dogs.

This kind of sums up the differences between the two sides.

If we (Europe) win this year - with 6 rookies - we will be over the moon again as the underdogs. If we lose, then we will be disappointed, but will have had a good time anyway.

If the USA wins, then it was expected and well done USA. If you lose then you will be looking to lay blame somewhere because you had the better team but lost out for some reason that you can't quite put your finger on.

Win or lose I bet the European players enjoy the event more than team USA.

That was return fire though, and Phil deserves it. I've always been a Phil fan / defender but I think I'm starting to get the FIGJAM thing.

I agree. This overthinking of the Ryder Cup is out of control. Having a "task force" and 5 assistant captains is just nuts. If they lose again then in 2018 they are going to bust out a mission statement, a declaration of their core values, and a lot of talk about synergies....

I honestly dont think the US is the better side. Its at least really really close.

+1. i believe this is the crux of the issue. The euros approach the ryder cup with such a more positive mentality. Of course they come prepared to play they're best, but they also come knowing that either way they will have a great time with good friends. Its like going to a party. you might be anxious, but you don't feel added pressure from the burden of having expectations to win.(mostly self-inflicted)

This fiery attitude that people are advocating for USA team is nothing new. It seems to be the M.O. of USA team for some time now, and it has shown not to work. anyone who has had to deal with teamwork and motivation knows that successful teamwork starts with building trust btw one another, and fostering a culture that has everyone on the team wanting to fight for each other. not some blowhard ranting about leadership and systemic change.

When euros win, u bet your ass they are gonna go out getting smashed together all night, all over town. do you honestly think all of the USA team members even enjoy each others company? That's the underlying issue. sure every now and then each individual USA team member might get in the zone on their own accord and have a great cup.(win) but year in and year out the euros will always have an inherent edge because good teams(fellowship) tend to carry each other through thick and thin.

i.e. darren clarke epitome of euro mentality

i.e. figjam epitome of usa mentality

sux. hope usa gets it right sooner than later but i fear its more of a culture issue than golf issue.

Video of heckler fan rolling in a 12 footer on the Europeans after he kept saying they couldn't make it was epic

USA#1 victory gonna be epic

Also when you're the underdog in anything, it's a win/win. If you lose well you were the underdogs and that was supposed to happen, but if you win it's a triumph over the odds.

+1 that is an experience of a lifetime. That ball looked like it was 15ft by though if it missed lol

Fun 18 hole match between a YT personality and Europe rookie Andy Sullivan.

not pga tour but australiasian tour or secondary euro tour or something. Snedeker leading after 3 rounds but a rookie named Vaughn McCall was +32 after 17 holes before being DQed. He dropped a 55 on the front.

Why did he get DQ'd for that? Also, I could shoot +32 there, lol. He also shot a 93 in a round at the NZ open.
