And chip ins were about 10-0.

A ton of chip ins and 1,000 feet of putts made is not sustainable
I think it is part of the mentality the Euros seem to bring that we rarely match. They play aggressive.

Hard to imagine any of the Americans hitting the back of the hole at ramming speed like Rahm did on that eagle putt.

Absolutely unbelievable.
It's unbelievable that their stars actually come through in these things? This isn't new.
So far they are relying on their best players. At least we don't have some random Euro that's invincible. Feels like they usually have some dude that comes out of nowhere and is unbeatable.
True. But unlike a lot of our guys, those randoms are usually there because of a specific skills set they find a way to utilize.


Wait...they don't just select drinking buddies and BFFs?

Is there more to this selection process thingy?

Good lord we aren't losing because of who was picked for the team
The poster child for this argument was JT and he's the only reason we aren't losing by more. At this point, seems like people just want something to gripe about other than "our best guys just got their asses kicked by their best guys." Sometimes it happens.

Hanging on to this last match is monumentally important for any chance of a comeback

Homa is lost out there but great drive by Clark. The score after Day 1 in 2021 at WS was USA 6 Europe 2.

Rahm chipped in 4 times today, 2 putts for halves on the 18th of what 20ft plus, Fitzpatrick made 70 feet of putts through the first 5 holes. Most of the American team didn't play that bad, but everything dropped for Europe day 1.

The US is losing b/c they've been asleep at the wheel for the last month while the Euros have been logging Top 10 finishes in Tournament golf. Again, playing Tuesday money matches with your drinking buddy/Ryder Cup teammate isn't the same as playing Tournament golf.
You just changed subjects. You're first post was about who was selected for the team, not their preparation.

The only guys selected who anyone can really make an argument against were JT and Burns. JT has played great. Burns sucked this morning but his morning session isn't the reason we're getting trucked.

But I do agree with your new point. Tournament golf coming in would probably have helped.

Agreed. The US played at a level closer to being down 5/3 or 4.5/3.5 than being down 6-2. Not that they played great, but there's been some European magic in addition to it.

Now that I can agree with. Azinger said it earlier on the broadcast....these guys would never go tee it up in a major without play for 5+ weeks, but for some reason they will for the Ryder Cup.

Nobody agreed with me on another thread when I made a comment about all the Euros playing in the BMW and only 2 Americans playing in the Napa tournament.

The biggest comeback going into Sunday is 10-6. You'd need to go 4-4 tomorrow to make that happen, but obviously that isn't what you are looking for and it's only been done once by each team. So the odds are very poor.

Tomorrow, I think you have to get it to 6.5-9.5 at worst and Sunday would at least be watchable. 7-9 would start to feel decent about their chances to get to 14. If they somehow get to 7.5, then that would really put pressure on the Euros to close it out and I might start to believe.

Captain Zach has to play JT/Jordan, Xander/Cantlay and Scottie//Brooks in both sessions tomorrow as some other members of the US team aren't playing with any good confidence

Brooks, Scottie, JT, Clark I think are all must plays for both.

Xander got blitzed in both his matches today and didn't sniff the cup on any putts.

Homa's been up and down and looks like a scared puppy.

Fowler no thanks

Spieth defiantly not in foursomes

It will be interesting to see what they do. Desperately need 3-1 in the morning session.

I have zero doubt that Rose will drain his - Homa / USA needs this one.

We're losing because of who Zach Johnson picked for our team.

Who Luke Donald picked for his team is another reason for us losing.

Man Clark has really stunk it up on these last couple shots.

I do NOT like Homa putting this one under pressure.

wonder what the score is with Bryson and perhaps DJ on it?

Hovland and Rahms putts on 18 still kill me. Statistically, both those ending in ties in that situation has to be less than 10%.

They could have legitimately put me in to hit that approach shot for Clark on 18.

Same results.
I maybe could hit the approach on 18th.

I KNOW that I can skull one around the green on third shot.
