Hasn’t kicked off yet has it?Slick wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 3:24 pm How is it going? I’m guessing by the lack of posts and the fact it has disappeared from the BBC news front page, not well?

They're going to lose today; but the European players can do themselves a lot of good with every point they put on the board.
I think a good few games will go down the 17th & 18th

Coverage of this should come with an advisory warning “contains content some viewers might find distressing”.

What's the record defeat?
18.5-9.5, so the US look set to beat that and are on course to score 20 points to 8.
Read something this morning, and I'm not sure if I misunderstood, but did a couple of American players down a beer on the first tee?Slick wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 9:42 pm Have the crowd been particularly awful? Seen a few comments flying around but is it just normal yanks?
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
Sections of the crowd were pretty dreadful, booing all the European players, shouting during players' backswings, cheering any error etc. But they were probably not particularly worse than any Ryder Cup crowd in recent years, and they were nothing like as bad as the crowd at Brookline, when Colin Montgomery in particular was subjected to a torrent of abuse, and some of the European players' wives were spat at.Slick wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 9:42 pm Have the crowd been particularly awful?

It was more noticeable this year because there were effectively no European fans in the crowd, so you only heard the partisan support of the US crowd.
Yeah, a couple that weren't playing on Saturday afternoon.Slick wrote: Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:53 amRead something this morning, and I'm not sure if I misunderstood, but did a couple of American players down a beer on the first tee?Slick wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 9:42 pm Have the crowd been particularly awful?

On the crowd, I didn't see/hear anything especially bad. They cheered shots into bunkers etc but that is hardly the worst crime in a competition like this.
USA played like a team who had the world rankings they have. When DJ plays like that it just makes it all the more frustrating he hasn't won more majors.
Not surprised Rahm and Garcia got hammered, they've been carrying the team all week. Was bound to take a toll mentally.

Just seen that interview of his. He’s a complete wreck. He’d do well to take some time off and try and reset a bit. He’s always been fragile under pressure but you’d have to worry for him when you see an interview like that.Kawazaki wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:42 pm McIlroy is emotionally broken.

It was very raw. He'll continue to make a very good living from golf, perhaps even win the occasional tournament, but he's got virtually zero chance of winning another major.

The scumbags were abusing the Wives & Girlfirends too ..
https://www.rte.ie/sport/golf/2021/0929 ... ryder-cup/With only a handful of European fans able to travel to Whistling Straits due to coronavirus restrictions, the atmosphere was even more one-sided than usual, with the visiting players booed when introduced on the first tee and subject to a chorus of inane heckling throughout the week.
"I didn't think it was that bad until I asked my wife what it was like for her, and they got dog's abuse going around as well," Lowry added. "It's not very nice for them to have to listen to it, but that's a small percentage of the crowd.
"I finished my match on 16 on Sunday and I was walking back down to follow the other groups and I got a huge ovation off the crowd and in the grandstand on 16, that was pretty cool. And I thought I got on well with the crowd last week as best I could.
"They are obviously a home crowd and they are going to be a partisan crowd. Some of the stuff is not very nice. But look, that's just the way it is. Some people are idiots, especially when they drink.
"Nobody turns into a genius with drinking, and that's what they were doing last week. Especially if you were out in the afternoon matches, it was loud.
