You can't ask to get paid for something that a hundred guys would love to take your spot for. Bryson, Keegan, dj would gladly take that spot.

It's call supply and demand.

Oh, and do you think anyone on europes team is thinking about getting paid right now? No they are just thinking about kicking out ass


Those guys would probably pay to play in the cup

As if needed another reason to hate the slow-playing ******bag Cantlay.


Complete effing dbag if true.




"Can't get Laid" is d-bag
If that was the case, about getting paid, then X and Cant should have withdrawn. Let ZJ pick two more, who give a sh*t about playing for country.

Max Homa is such an easy guy to root for. Great player and great guy. Golf needs more like him.

Max is a good dude, and easy to root for.

Rory said he doesn't wear the hats because they don't fit. He said he has a really small head. On NLU earlier this year he said they changed the hat and he'd be wearing it this year.

Told my dad yesterday that I get not playing Brooks in alternating shot. Said that his personality will not work with that format.

So today he does play in that set up.

9&7


Yeah. This was the pairing that ZJ was ripped for not putting out yesterday (including me).

Captains make a difference on the margins but it starts with the players. Our guys just aren't playing well from top to bottom. When that happens, I'm not sure there's anything you can do. Sucks for us though.

Yes, I know why Rory hasn't in the past. I thought he had one this year, but couldn't remember.

My point was not wearing a hat isn't unheard of. Maybe Cantlay has his own little protest going or maybe it means nothing.

I'm sorry for catching up on Twitter…….I'll watch the afternoon pairings live.

At least the beat down has made it easier to catch up to live action. I've fast forwarded through a lot of morning holes.

Again

It was just my thinking bc of Brooks personality.

I think Woods back in the day might have even had issues at times in this format. Great at singles and playing 4 ball but alternating, not as much.

I do not like our chances in this first match. Hovland and Aberg seem like they're on a mission.

Rahm and Hovland are the two best golfers on the planet right now.

Playing spectacular golf. Hats off to them.

Hovland has been exciting to watch this year.

Incredible golfer

Europe always looks like a team. America looks like a bunch of dudes playing together.

Not two years ago!

We were up 9-3 at this point.

As an Army Officer I believe I can say based on my experience abroad, that most other cultures values are totally different than ours. America is very egocentric.

One analogy I can of think of is mercenary vs unit mentality. But I think that has gone away, our team seems very together.....unless the Cant & X stuff is true.

This is no doubt true but I think we'll always deal with this to some extent. America is the big dog and people relish the chance to knock us down a peg. That's partly why Euros grow up dreaming of Ryder Cup victories and why Americans don't.

That is disgusting - I hope Cant & X are freaking embarrassed by that photo.

They should act like a team. When the Ryder Cup is in the US, the fans treat it like the 4th of July and really rally behind the team.

These rich golfers can at least fake the funk instead of complaining about money.

Their dominance started when continental Europe was added to the team in '79. Back in the mid 80's, Ballesteros, Langer added a ton of punch to the team, followed by Olazabal.

The match that lit the team fire for Europe was Seve. He got tired of watching their butts get handed to them.
He is the one that inspired this run of dominance.

Jack Nicklaus suggested adding Europe in the mid to late 70's.

Agree completely.

Until 1973, the Ryder Cup was the US v Britain. Ireland was added in that year and expanded to all of Europe in 1979. Since then, Europe is 11-9 over us. That gap will continue to narrow.

I'd say more rugged individualism than egocentric. But yeah the Euro players love their team.

I'm glad Rahm is having fun out there. It's what this event is all about.

Brooks complaining and Cantlay being a poon isn't

Egocentric maybe a bit much. Rugged individualism is pretty accurate

Will we see any US guys not playing out on the course? You know the Euro guys will be.
