darpar Tiger's not getting much help today,,,,Woodland and Johnson are getting a whoopin.
Johnson drove a par four and gagged on a 3' eagle putt to have the hole. Tiger was about the only one making putts. I guess Tiger will now get a beat down by Chamblee for his lack of skills as team Captain.
Looks like Webb Simpson gets babysitting duties this week being paired with Reed.
Not sure what to make of such a lopsided start. Not sure what to make of Tiger Woods contributing more as a player than he seems to be as a captain. If the US team loses, he's gonna be grilled for it regardless of how many points he earns for the cause. It always goes that way.
But it does make for a more compelling event when the International team changes the usual script and doesn't wave the white flag while shitting the bed right out of the gate.
This competition is hard to watch.
Good lord they can’t even keep sand wedges from rolling off the green 
colej Good lord they can’t even keep sand wedges from rolling off the green
or 2 1/2 - 3 footers to keep from lipping out.
Spoiler alert: if you have heart or anger issues, do not watch.
Go internationals!
yep I’d rather be doing that too lol
We're getting our asses kicked.........
This reminds me of the Ryder Cup where the other team just putts lights out. When did Oosthuizen become a great putter?

It was looking much worse then the US pulled a few points out of their asses. JT stuck it in and broke it off with his putt on 18.
Yes sir, we were down in the final 4 matches when the Internationals posted their first point of the day. There was some really good play by the Americans in the last hour of play to salvage the split and maybe change the momentum going forward.
News Flash: Patrick Reed acts like a prick. His antics with the hand to ear (I can't hear you) and then mimicking using a shovel to move sand walking off the green was bush league - after he made a putt to go 2 DOWN.
Ernie and the Internationals are really playing well! If the US squad can gain on em today things will be really interesting for the singles matches...... interesting nto see if it plays out that way how TW will position his team/ates for singles!

Apparently the crowd hasn't been very kind to Reed and I think it was his way to inject some humor back at the crowd. This whole Reed sand issue has been blown out of proportion and should just be put to bed. The crowd should not boo anyone at an event like this. I can imagine some "over served" USA fans booing someone if it was played in the US but not the internationals.
exactly what I was thinking. If our fans were booing them (on our soil) I’m not supporting that. Even for that prick Sergio if you don’t like him just stay quiet. No need to boo or say shitty things.
I can remember Montgomerie being booed at a event (in the US) and some of our pros said that’s enough.
I think Maybe Reed enjoys playing the bad guy. Obviously a Green jacket gets you certain amount of fame, but he's got a "brand" that stands out now. I mean a movie about a villain, The Joker, was huge this year, so why not be a "bad guy"?
Rickochet Apparently the crowd hasn't been very kind to Reed and I think it was his way to inject some humor back at the crowd.
I watched him do it and he wasn't smiling. If he was smiling or laughing and gave the fans a 'thumbs up' like it's all in fun or it's all good, he may have endeared some to him. I'm sure Patrick Reed doesn't have a Dale Carnegie course completion certificate on his wall. (Ed note: I don't either as most of you have surmised.)

I watched it all live as well and I thought he did it with a bit of a grin. I haven't seen it shown again so maybe the press is letting it go. Here is the clip. I really can't tell by the vid but apparently the crowd was jeering at him to miss the putt. The jeering and the shoveling weren't necessary.
So, Reed and Simpson haven't sniffed a point in their first two matches. Tiger sends them out together AGAIN this morning and they've been down 3 for a long time and they are on the 9th hole. I wonder what his reasoning was on that gem of a decision.
Surely there is someone else on the team that would play with Patrick? More importantly, why hasn't he sat down yet??
Rickochet I just watched the clip and I think it was done in fun and with humor. They've been out and out booing him, so I think he was justified. I was watching today and when he was introduced and it got quiet some guy yelled something like " don't worry Patrick, in 4 and a half hours you can get a sandwedge"
