He just topped it 270 yards.

And stood there laughing like it was a knock around with a few mates on a public course.

I always think that’s a good way to get in their heads. Chummy, have a laugh, then when it matters, make them knock in a two footer for a half.

Did Faldo not do that once, was all chat and jokes on the first tee and it was so unlike him it freaked the Americans out?

The Americans are loaded from top to bottom with genuine world class players who seem to enjoy the cup more than their predecessors like Woods and Phil.

This could get very ugly.

Could? It’s a battering already. Take Rahm out of that Europe team and probably Sergio as well and you’ve nothing left. All out of form, out of time, reputation over results.

The US are well worth whatever the final score is.

Rory is done. Too many holes in his game now. It used to just be the putting but now it's the driving as well and the fact he isn't much better a wedge player than a 5 handicapper.

He always has one bad round in him in a pressure match. FFS. Laura Davis on Sky has just said that we all know Rory can hit a putt under pressure and that’s what Europe need. He’s a disaster zone when putting under pressure.

Any pressure he just sags like a pensioner's ballbag. If Europe send him out last in the singles and USA have already won the cup by the time he reaches the turn, he'd shoot 29 on the back-9.
