Rory is a little ***** and frankly tarnishing his legacy in US over last 2 years (at least with me)


How have events, prior to today, tarnished his legacy?

I'm with you that he could've handled things a lot better today.


His whiny LIV antics as another poster above stated.


I feel like he made a noble stand with the LIV stuff… and got burned by the PGA Tour and took most of that in stride.

What part of Rory's objection to LIV comes across as whiny to you?

I mean, a governmental entity with an endless pit of money came along threatening the existence of the PGA Tour. I don't fault anyone for a strong reaction to that. And then basically got hung out to dry after being used to help fend it off.

I don't know how to post it but Homa put up an instagram for today with the caption…."I love this team. No (hat emoji)"

Totally - and I think Rory was being a little ***** today. Don't want that to get lost in this. But I'm not sure how his defense of the PGA Tour gets perceived as whiny. To each their own I guess

Rorys legacy is unfulfilled potential until he wins another major.

I'm glad there is this much emotion in the game. It's good for the game of golf.

This is fair to an extent. He's also been a tremendous bright spot for the sport since his last major win at the PGA in '14. That's at least part of his legacy and I don't think folks will be soon to forget it.

Somewhat, but he does have 4 majors. Not winning 5+ yet has definitely been a disappointment. That said, Rory just turned 34 and Phil didn't win his 1st major until a few months before his 34th birthday

He's probably done harm to his game being the spokesperson. And then the Tour gives him the ultimate F you with that press conference regarding the merger or whatever with LIV. I bet he has some regrets.

I'm sure he does because I'm sure he didn't expect to get effed over like he did. You also can't win with the public. Roll over and you're a p***y. Fight and you're a crybaby. The guy defended his league like many top players in other sports would if a threat like that surfaced. I don't see why that should tarnish a damned thing

Him supporting the PGA will tarnish his legacy?
No. He became such arrogant, know-it-all whiner about LIV. And his constant overt and veiled shots at former teammates was just uncalled for.

Then when his buddy Jimmy Dunne / Jay Monahan announced the potential partnership-he starts backtracking a little.

His Holier-than-thou attitude became off-putting.

I can't him or Brandel Chamblee. Was a fan of Brandel's until LIV came about and he starts constant attacks on the players that went there.

Getting back to the Ryder Cup, what are your predictions for tomorrow's singles and overall score? I think Team Europe wins and singles play score will be 6-6.

I think the US makes some hay but it ultimately settles at 7-5 (15.5 - 12.5 overall) and they don't get that close to retaining the cup

I was about to post this same question, LOL.

US wins 7. Too little too late.

Friday afternoon Fourball halves in the last three matches were crucial. When we led all three going into 18....

I've managed to convince myself that we can make tomorrow interesting. I'm guessing I'll be over that by around 7:30.

I have a 12:40 tee time but I suspect I'll move it up to around 11:30.

Jump to conclusions much? Transitive property in play here?

I support their right to do what they think is right for them. Don't care for either of them personally.

Have to go 9-3 to win tomorrow. It's an extremely tall order but I'll be watching for the miniscule chance that the US team makes history. Even if we come back and win, I'll still think that Zach Johnson is a dumbass and terrible captain.

How are they starting this so much later tomorrow? The last two days have ended practically in the dark.

12 matches in 10 minute increments I believe.

Not two four hour sessions, and no break in between.
