I’m not very nationalistic when it comes to these matches. Many of the Europeans live in the U.S. and I’m a fan of. Just like to see competitive matches.

    You mean like their captain that has lived in/educated in the U.S. over 1/2 his life??? THAT made no sense for him to be a captain!

    And ours came from Iowa.....is that even in the U.S.??
    🤣

    Par4QC Hope they get their asses handed to them before #13!!

    Same here and I called it.
    Picks were made ages ago.
    Doofus Zach led them on thinking they had some hope of making it.
    Suckers.

      Spuzz It will all show when Zack makes his Sunday lineup. It will either show brilliance, or idiocy on his part.

      People don't seem to understand that 4 1/2s still only make 2 wholes.
      As of this writing, imo, the U.S. team is 2 men short for Sunday!! Better hope like hell they got a huge lead.

        Everybody plays Sunday, so nowhere to hide the stiffs.
        If they don't have a big lead by then, they will lose, imo.
        Then maybe, once and for all, the old boys club will be broken up.

          Spuzz the old boys club will be broken up.

          Won't happen on our watch. Tiger was a 'pick' remember, and would have been today also had he been able to walk.

          If I were Keegan, and played my ass off the next 2 seasons and made #1 on the RC list in '25.....I'd tell them go straight to hell! Not playing, for love/money, nor country.

          Par4QC Europe always treats this as a war, btw.

          Because their egos were bruised and battered from losing over the years and then..... shoe on the other foot.

          By the way. It was started and a good-will exhibition and still is....except for the egos and TV ratings. 🙄

            Eguller except for the egos

            I haven't looked at the European list, but doubt they got any type egos on it this time. Not even sure they have recognizable names.🤔
            U.S. is all about egos though.**

            Well except for Zack. He apparently has none, along with 'sense'.

            **Esp. JT thinking he SHOULD be on the team!! I kinda feel sorry for that lil boy.

              Par4QC here's top 4 qualified and 2 possibilities...
              Rory McIlroy (Q–EP) – 404.8
              Jon Rahm (Q-EP) – 395.35
              Viktor Hovland (Q) – 356.97
              Tyrrell Hatton (Q) – 205.57
              Tommy Fleetwood – 186.92
              Matt Fitzpatrick – 183.1

                I can think of a several guys I would have taken over JT. Off the top of my head:
                Glover
                Finau
                Dechambeau (wrong tour or not, he is on fire right now and shot a 58 within the past two weeks)
                Bradley
                Typhoon, maybe? 😁

                I suspect we will get our butts handed to us. For some reason Rory seems to not get the disease he sometimes gets at the majors. Hovland is absolutely on fire.

                  rsvman2 get Typhoon a proper set of clubs (iow, let him fit himself) and let him go to town. He probably would give JT (maybe a few more) a good run for his money!!

                  I don't understand any of the last 4 on that list being picked ahead of Bryson, Keegan, Glover or Finau...They better be up by a lot of points come Sunday and the singles competition...I can see an "0fer" or, at most only 3 points in singles, if not careful with pairings

                    raggmann54 Finau

                    Then there was that guy. And, not picking him, or even considering him was correct. #21 in the standings and that means he's been crap for 2 whole seasons.

                    Using an old horse racing analogy, you never want to pick or bet on 'out-of-form' horses. In fact, most trainers will just put them out to pasture for a shortish vacation to 'freshen up'; you just don't keep racing them for nothing. OTOH, 'in form' is what you want to see in the program!! They are the ones you can bank on, for the most part.

                    Glover should have been picked for no other reason than his age, along with current form, and the fact he's never come close to making the team. TW was a prior pick and he was lame as hell and had a horrible RC record, but was picked partly because of age, among other reasons.
                    And, imo, it goes without saying that Bradley is 'in form'! Unlike 4 of the picks. Who the hell knows which Jordan is going to be on that flight??? Dr. or Mr.?

                      Weak field Tony was an easy omission.

                        Spuzz Weak field Tony

                        I agree he hasn't played well enough to be considered for the R/C this year.
                        But he did win the 2021 Northern Trust (first leg of the FedEx Cup),
                        and that was probably one of the strongest fields of the year.
