About time, he just seemed to be laughing all day yesterday and earlier today when the camera was on him

Tyrell was getting offended that it was all about Shane

He wasn't. He knew he played shite.

slave1 · 26-09-2021 12:16AM

So happy for Shane he got that putt

He has done himself proud on his debut whatever happens tomorrow

Xander10 · 26-09-2021 12:22AM

that was the best session for us and because we got the pairing apart from the Poult/Rory combo which was doomed on Rory's current form.

They have the stronger team, but you can't be throwing points away, like Westwood/Fitz x 2 ......selections are rightly called into question.

tayto lover · 26-09-2021 12:22AM

Only 3.5 points needed now for the US.

Not looking good at all but get ahead in the first four matches tomorrow and it could become interesting. Very long shot though. Delighted for Shane tonight.

mtrevor · 26-09-2021 12:23AM

Worst crowd I've ever seen at a golf tournament. Players acting like muppets not helping. Surely there should be some basic rules for behaviour. They would get thrown out if it was any other tournament but here its fine.

Joedryan · 26-09-2021 12:24AM

Need a tornado to hit tomorrow and see what happens...

Ottoman_1000 · 26-09-2021 12:33AM

I know hindsight is wonderful but good and all as America have been this could have been 1or2 points closer only for some strange pairings from Harrington. How he left Lowry out of the mornings session and kept Casey, Fitzpatrick and Westwood out there. Even Poulter would have been a better pick as he has not played to badly only he has been completely handicap by McIlroy all weekend!!!

StevenToast · 26-09-2021 12:35AM

Is there any way mcillroy can be left out of the singles...pull a covid joker envelope or injury envelope out of the bag...

He has been absolute dogsh1t

Rikand · 26-09-2021 12:40AM

Only hope for us now is that america backloads their team into trying to make a game of it and a few shocks happen along the way

Harrington probably wishes he had 6 envelopes

FixdePitchmark · 26-09-2021 12:41AM

Rory will be brilliant tomorrow.

Mark my words.

No birdies and only 5 pars over the last 2 days! That is almost unbelievable.......

Xander10 · 26-09-2021 12:42AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940129#Comment_117940129

Did he have an eagle?

Ottoman_1000 · 26-09-2021 12:44AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940132#Comment_117940132

That's what I though. That stat popped up on Fox Sports and I thought it was crazy...

FixdePitchmark · 26-09-2021 12:45AM

Anyone find paddy's demeanour a bit odd.

He looks like a guy who never managed anything and just played golf. ..

suppose if your being hammered.......

Has he been interviewed at sll ?.

fullstop · 26-09-2021 12:46AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940129#Comment_117940129

Yeah that is unbelievable...because he had at least 12 pars and an eagle in the 2 fourball matches. You can check it on the app

Edit: and 9 pars and 3 birdies in the foresomes.

StevenToast · 26-09-2021 12:47AM

When harrington needed him the most...mcillroy has left him hanging...

That will sting harrington...

He hung his hat on mcillroy...failed miserably

Richard Hillman · 26-09-2021 12:52AM

One thing they won't want to mention on Sky (and Butch Harmon) just did, the youth of US team. The conveyor belt of talent coming through. The lack of European talent (Particularly British and Irish) coming through. The fact that Golf is not on Terrestrial TV anymore. Entry Level Golf courses disappearing left right and centre.

We are in big trouble in these parts.

Timid all week. The cringeworthy hearts and minds stuff with cheese heads and the green bay Packers stuff filled the team with fear of the American fans. Europe only got going when they gave it back.

What was the plan when the American fans did what American fans do? Keep your mouths shut and take it until they like you?

Dr. Bre · 26-09-2021 12:58AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940155#Comment_117940155

Yep. Look at the European tour leaderboards. Most weekends it’s Safricans in contention . Don’t see much coming through Europe to scare the US

Ottoman_1000 · 26-09-2021 12:59AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940140#Comment_117940140

Ya I was thinking that was a bit to mad to be true, the stat came up on Fox Sports but it most have been mis-printed......well unless I read it wrong!!!!🤣

Ottoman_1000 · 26-09-2021 01:02AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117940155#Comment_117940155

Ya it's going to be very difficult for the European side going forward from here. The age of the US side and the talent that is coming behind them is quite unbelievable.

Mushy · 26-09-2021 01:04AM

Fierce late on this, but Berger and Koepka should be ripped out of it for their blatant cheating attempt today. Wont make a difference to overall result, but pathetic. Take the penalty drop if you're concerned. Prime example often aren't liked all that much

redarmy · 26-09-2021 02:05AM

Sunday's singles line up @RyderCup:

Schauffele vs McIlroy

Cantlay vs Lowry

Scheffler vs Rahm

DeChambeau vs Garcia

Morikawa vs Hovland

Johnson vs Casey

Koepka vs Wiesberger

Finau vs Poulter

Thomas vs Hatton

English vs Westwood

Spieth vs Fleetwood

Berger vs Fitzpatrick

Zak Flaps · 26-09-2021 03:01AM

A lot of this is pot luck I believe, but putting McIlroy out first is weird!

I hope i'm tempting fate!

M.T. Cranium · 26-09-2021 03:06AM

Those pairings give some faint hope I suppose, in fact I believe you might win the session if not the Cup. It will be very warm and not overly windy, a south wind of 10-15 mph that might be sort of variable and swirling around at times.

I am inclined to cheer for Europe in this despite being only a few miles from the border or perhaps because of it. Some of those fans have been a disgrace for sure but this is the trend with this event recently, I kind of prefer the sort of atmosphere they had back in the day. At least some of the U.S. golfers have stepped in and tried to moderate the behaviour. Surprised to see so many packed in together, in nearby states and parts of Canada there is a full-blown fourth wave of COVID going on.

Feel badly for Rory McIlroy, he seems to be in a bad place right now, and he's not a bad guy compared to some pro golfers who are first class a-holes (and this has sort of shown itself here). Just one or two, the Thomas vs Hatton match could actually require police or possibly military intervention.

Those pairings actually worked out fairly well, if anyone can beat Morikawa (other than Rahm) it might be Hovland. If anyone can ignore de Chambeau it would be Garcia. Weisberger probably knows nothing about Koepka which is good, he won't be very distracted. If Westwood could beat anyone on this team it might be English. I heard a good joke ... the reason the USA are winning is they only have one English man on the team. You're welcome.
