2014 Ryder Cup

I will never understand picking Simpson over Horschel

 

Horschel had only 2 match play rounds in his career, both singles and he is 1-1. Simpson has a career 5-5-1 in singles and 4-1-1 in fourball and 3-2 in a Foursome. He went with experience.

he chose poorly

With that logic, the euros should have taken Donald. I wish they would have. He is not playing good right now just like simpson is not playing well.

[stevestevens]

With my red, white and blue goggles on:

 

Spieth beats Graeme 1-0

Reed beats Stenson 2-0

Fowler beats Rory 3-0

Rose beats Mahan 3-1

Phil beats Gallacher 4-1

Bubba beats Kaymer 5-1

Kuchar halves Bjorn 5.5- 1.5

Sergio beats Furyk 5.5-2.5

Poulter beats Webb 5.5-3.5

Keegan beats Donaldson 6.5-3.5

Walker beats Westwood 7.5- 3.5

Dubuisson beats Johnson 7.5-4.5 (Europe wins)

 

A lot of pressure on Mahan, Simpson, Furyk, Johnson, and Kuchar.  I would think the pretty much zero people will pick any of them to get a full point.  Lets hope they can flip some points are at least get a halve.

i am watching the Texas AM vs. Arkansas game and they just showed a Billy Horschel commercial.

Simpson hadn't played consistently well all season. Horschel was on fire down the stretch and won the Fed Ex Cup. Sometimes, you need to go with the inexperienced golfer that is playing well over the experienced golfer that is playing like shit.

[Blarg]

You are probably right but match play is not regular tourney golf. It's not like the US team had a lot of really good players to pick from so if the captain errs on the side of experience you can only say it didn't work out. No telling what Horchell would have done.

[stevestevens]

Patrick Reed is psycho

[Hollyw00d]

Mcilroy is taking it to Rickie....come on fowler, everyone wants to see you beat him and bruise his massive ego a bit

[Hollyw00d]

Webb Simpson kinda sucks, man

[nate]

This is pretty much over.  Not even close.  Weak team and weak captain.

[nate]

Kaymer, jeez.

[Lou]

season over

[Lou]

Patrick Reed is psycho

 

and a very good golfer

[nate]

Mahan, you suck.

[stevestevens]

Patrick Reed should be a player captain in two years

[nate]

Donaldson about to seal it.  Just absolute shit from the US.

[nate]

Wow, Donaldson, what a shot.

 

Hopefully Hazeltine is better for the US.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

To the delight of nobody, except Adam, they may have to change the rules and make it Asia-US vs Europe to keep this thing competitive.

 

Thank God this disappointment only lasts 3 days.

Euros to celebrate by jetting off to London to watch the NFL game between the Raiders and Dolphins.

Furyk Mahan'd his match too.  Or should we say Mahan Furyk'd?

[Tank]

Webb Simpson kinda sucks, man

 

fixed.

that sounds more like punishment than a celebration.

[Tank]

keegan bradley blows.

 

patrick reed was a complete surprise. very impressive.

 

lefty was very unhappy in his tv interview. said they had a terrific strategy in '08 that worked well, and for some odd reason, no one seems to want to use it anymore. i don't know what strategy it was, but it sounded very much like he tried to bring it up to watson and got shot down or ignored.

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah, poorly led and played this year.  No way should Mickelson have been sitting all day Saturday.  No way Simpson should have been picked and Bubba Watson shouldn't have seen the course after his display on Friday.
