    Watching Miracle at Medinah makes me ask myself just one question.

    How the feck does McGinley EVER pick Westwood over Donald.

    No longer have Sky so have seen very little golf this year but certainly I'd need a very good reason not to be picking Donald, & would have been inclined to him over Westwood. His demeanour is obviously very low-key compared to someone like Poulter, & to a degree that tells against him in people not seeing what a superbly formidable Ryder Cup performer he's been. Not though that that kind of misconception should be relevant for someone like McGinley.

    Hopefully anyway Westwood justifies himself.

    Garcia/Rory most surprised....I hope they all get to play the first day

    Most people I talked to thought that McDowell would be Rory's partner but I said that I hoped it would be Sergio. The two of them could be unstoppable if they both start to play well. Looking forward to seeing them win their first match.

    We don't get much golf on tv at suitable hours in Australia generally but 4.30 on a Friday evening with a few beers after work and a night of Ryder Cup ahead is pretty much perfect! Can't wait to see the Rory/Garcia dynamic against Mickelson and Bradley

    Awful opening shot by Simpson he must have topped the ball and hit it 50 feet.

    Pressure gets to everyone. I have never seen such a packed fairway. I was even nervous watching it.

    Just shows the pressure of the Ryder Cup! Great to see Bubba getting the crowds going whilst he was hitting his tee shot again!

    Bubba, Ricky Fowler and Tom Watson make this the most likeable USA team ever, but it'll still be nice to see them lose.

    Sky already prioritising ad breaks over showing the actual golf shots. Typical. Buzzing already for this :)

    Rickie Fowler with the shaved head and oversized cap makes it look like he is going through chemo.

    Good old Sky. Only a handful of shots hit but they manage to miss a bunch of then.
