Rory looked out of sorts all day, never got anything close on the greens.

    darpar He showed some signs of life late in his morning round, too late to save it, and started reasonably in the afternoon. Knew it had gone south when our tv coverage showed next to nothing of them until they were 4 down. No surprise to see him miss out Saturday morning session.

    Been a strange RC in one sense - some quality golf and great putting (from most of the US and too few of the Euros) but I can only recall one chip in (Hovland) and no holeouts from bunkers; there's usually a few of each in each session. Maybe I just missed them ..?

      rsvman2 Yea I actually thought he played pretty pedestrian until that putt.

        That shot could've gone so bad in so many directions....just wish JT made the putt.

          Day 2 - Brooks and Berger are hot. 2 up after 2 vs Rahm/Garcia. Berger rocking a hoodie - he couldn't walk into a 7-11 with it up but it's OK at Whistling Straits ☺

          It's early, but the European team may need to clean house and go younger. Time to dump Westwood and Casey and maybe even Garcia. Not sure if they have the depth to do it though.

          Momentum has shifted!🤔

          ValueGolf - his game has been iffy but he possesses a lot of fire in his belly. That putt that led to the win may have turned the momentum - now down only 2. He's jazzed.

              darpar yes it is. Great for any pro tournament. Unfortunately not an option for the PGA championship due to the move earlier in the year. US Open has dabbled with courses like this.....I suspect this venue will host a US Open before all is said and done!

                  ode For me, the Ryder Cup is also fan participation and I don' think Whistling Strait has that due to terrain and layout.

                      ValueGolf - there have been a lot of 2 footers not conceded in this competition. Garcia was a little irked on the first hole in Match #1 yesterday. I don't think the TV cameras are doing justice to the breaks on some of these putts. I couldn't believe Thomas's drive there.

                        Bravopilot a valid point. I think in this case the course is so good for this type of event, the two sides accept the elements for the fans that might not be ideal. Having been there it is a pain to get around in spots, but their are spots that are fabulous for watching shots, multiple holes. I had the opportunity to go x2 but could not have gotten out of work, nor would I have went. Too many people to make it worthwhile to watch the way that I prefer.
