Literally turn it on to see Finau on a par three hit it short, but magically it hits the wood frame between the water and fringe to bounce and land within around three feet. Absolutely insane.

Rory may not play any significant matches the rest of this tournament.

[Lou]

That shot by Finau on 16 was sweet. 

Rory has been by far the worst player on the course

Tits is such a mess, just shanked an iron off the tee into the water on a par 5.

I agree...

 

 

 

Until Mickelson tee'd off.

Rory put his tee shot on #1 in the afternoon session in the water.

Having Phil play alternating shots is idiotic

Tiger really IS back! He lost his Ryder cup match

looks like we're going to get our ass kicked this session

So it's been a while since I've seen even part of an opening ceremony for the Ryder Cup.  But is what happened yesterday the norm now?  That looked absolutely like a Superbowl party for the introductions.  That really kind of got me excited, unfortunately I'll  miss it this weekend.

[mtangelsfan]

They got blasted.  Horrible teams by Furyk for the alternate shots.

Phil should bench himself.

[Brandon]

Just read about it, yikes.

Fun to watch for about an hour this morning at 3am. Forgot how the crowd energy is for this thing.

What happened with DJ and Rickie in the afternoon sesh? They looked real good in the morning best ball. Did Rose and Stenson just smash?

[Angel Oracle]

The Americans golfed like clowns in the afternoon!    Two 5 and 4 results included in the big afternoon goose egg?   Really?  Really?  Really?   Really????

New captain is also needed.

With Lefty, the writing was on the wall when he tanked BIG TIME at the Tour Championship.

Not having Keopka out there is a crime.  Speith really has become a choker, he was a mess in the second session.

[Lou]

the Euros played great in the afternoon

you obviously didn't watch the morning session., especially the front 9, when he was by far the best player on the course. 

[Brandon]

Yeah, what I watched Spieth looked solid. Him and Thomas was a great pairing in both.

I liked that Furyk kept the two solid pairings the same for the afternoon, but the other two looks kind of suspect. But if Bryson or Webb carry the team and crush we call him a genius.

Pairings for tomorrow look interesting if you liked the morning sesh today.

[Lou]

off to another banner start

8 straight points for the Euros.

You must have missed the second session where he completely duffed a few chip shots.

That said, he was good this morning too.
