Hey Daryl, that airair really has a way of making you feel better!!!!!!!!
An incredible finish to the tournament,that could have gone either way, have to tell you that messers Fowler, Cink and Furyk really endeared themselves to the European crowd. an incredible atmosphere, which must have been great to play in, and for all you euros reading this, how much does Ian Poulter like the Ryder Cup? Where are we in 2012? Winged Foot or did I hear wrong? |

2012 the RC is at Medinah Country Club.
What an event. 8 hour delay on Friday was awful. US did well to get a first session lead. The Saturday was another great day for team america and it looked bleak. Sunday however was all about team Europe! What a great day and what a session. 5.5 points from 6! Incredible and what made it even more special wa sthat every member of the team contributed - including the controversial pick of HArrington! Monday was set up perfectly and I barely left my chair all day. At one stage it was looking like a cake walk but team USA threw away the script and some incredible golf was played. The mechanic rolled his ass on the practice ground, then rolled away the years for a brilliant victory over Bubba. Tiger reminded everyone that he still is the greatest player to ever pick up sticks, 9 under for 15 holes? I think Molinari did well to stay out that long! The only shame of it was Stevie wandering around like a lost tourist because he refused to wear a caddy bib. When Ricky Fowler showed why he was worth his woldcard by birdieing the last 4 holes to snatch a half, it came down to our wee mon from Ulster. G-mac has had an ad running in the build up to the Ryder Cup where he states that winners are made when no one is watching and legends are made when the world is watching. G-mac had the golfing world watching when he holed that putt on 16 for birdie and the chance to win back the RC for Europe. Hunter may have made it easier for him on 17 than anyone might have wished, but I have no doubt that if he'd needed to, G-mac would have rolled in the putt. A great cup, a great win for Europe and as usual, respect to the losing team who maintained their dignity. All hail field marshall Montgomery!!!!!!!!! :notworthy :hello2: |
Well spoken.

worst Ryder Cup ever.
Delays on three days, no flow, screwed up matches so you could not really employ strategy. On top of that I tivo'd NBC for Monday only to find out it was not even on NBC. Nice. |

That is the main comment to have come out of the Ryder Cup this week, is that its on too late in the year. October is not the greatest of months in the UK or Europe (it will prob be the same in the States as well) It used to be in mid to late Sept which worked out quite well but the FedEx Cup kinda scuppers that idea now and the PGA Tour will never allow to have the Ryder Cup slap bang in the middle of the play offs and some players (on both sides) could end up playing 4-5 weeks in a row.

No blame was assessed to anyone in my post, I just commented on where this Ryder Cup ranks, it has nothing to do with who won. I thought 2002 was great, USA lost there as usual.
