    So that is that for another two years.

    Golfers-who-play-on-the-PGA-tour Team A defeated Golfers-who-play-on-the-PGA-tour Team B.

    Ole, Ole etc.

    He’s called ‘the postman’ because he always delivers. He’s delivered 3 wins out of last 7 matches. He was referred to as a ‘machine’ on here yesterday when he lost twice.

    Listening to the British media & some on here is hilarious. They have very short memories.

    He got a pick 4 years ago, when he was playing atrocious stuff coming into it. He was terrible (Rory carried him to a 1/2 point in one match)

    But hey, the postman always delivers. He was class in it at one point.....that time is gone.

    He just won the Ryder cup with a win against the best US team in my time.

    I enjoyed it - but agree with above.

    All back on their planes to Florida.

    Ah stop, sure he only beat the world number 1...if you want to be called the postman you need to be beating better players than that. Or something.

    He could play in one more but no doubt he will be European captain at some point in the future.

    Played twice yesterday & lost twice. He played Dustin Johnson who was absolutely shocking. Molinari in one Ryder cup has more points than Poulter in his last two. He fell over the line today against the worst display I can remember from a world #1.

    Whatever about the rest of this the idea he "fell over the line" is just nonsense. He played almost flawless golf to close out the game - 3 under for the last six and a couple of very close misses. He never gave dj a sniff. You are making a fool of yourself with a line like that.

    His ryder cup record speaks for itself.

    I'd have massive faith in Rory and will always back him.

    But . I'll put my hands up and say - he looked very average out there when you looked at even some of the Rookies in the event.

    Fleetwood and Molinari are miles better at present.

    He looked very average versus likes of Thomas.

    Listening to the Europe team press conference... they all had a few beverages. Apparently Thomas agreed to get a tattoo if they won :D

    Enjoyable event but I really struggle to believe that a lot of the displays of emotion aren’t staged. These players win individual tournaments worth far more to their careers and egos and are reserved and calm in doing so. Suddenly in this event, representing Europe (which no European takes pride in day to day) they are going bezurk.

    Either it’s staged or they’re doing it just to annoy the other side. I just can’t buy that it’s genuine.

    And this year's Oscar goes to.... the winning European Ryder Cup Team.


    What a load of.... How anyone doesn't think they are all showing genuine emotions is beyond me.

    It is an individual sport and it just looks like the lads love the change to a real team for the week.

    Harrington better get his skates on with the Ryder cup captaincy, he probably need to be the running in one of the next 2 Ryder cups because there’s a helluva queue of shoo ins lining up for it in the next ten years. Westwood, McDowell, Garcia, Poulter, etc

    I think he'll definitely captain the team next time around in the US. Westwood then will have the one in Rome.

    I forgot Henryk Stenson and Justin Rose as future shoo ins; both probably have played their last Ryder cups.

    Lot of golfers having their RC careers ended prematurely here. Would be shocked if we don’t see Rose at least twice more, mildly surprised if we’ve seen the last of Stenson and not shocked at all should Poulter make it back for a swan song. There is some up and coming talent in Europe but it’s not exactly teeming with it at the same time.

    Rose is the current world number 2 and only 38. I'd be shocked if this was his last Ryder Cup.

    Is Westwood a lock? Do you not need at least a smidgen of personality for the job?:P

    Bjorn has that covered.

    Lee Westwood is like Billy Connolly compared to Bjorn.

    What do you want them to do.Live in cold and misery in europe full time and damage there overall careers just so the Ryder Cup can have more meaning for you.

    All the players are from Europe all the players started their careers on the european tour.

    Are European Basketball players who chose to play in the NBA any less european because they play in the NBA.

    McDowell really? He's more American than some of the Americans.
