Looks like we have a little Forum Ryder Cup Brewing...
2021 Ryder Cup
Singles line up doesn't have anything that can be contentious. Seems odd lineup on both sides. I expected Rahm to be first out to get the Blue tide going, not 3rd then play Scheffler--I think Scheffler can win. Might be a letdown for Rahm not playing the top US guy.

Bravopilot More than a discussion for Rahm. I want to see some grudge matches, might be the only fun to be had from a Euro pov
DonM Shouldn't you be in bed? hahaha
Absolutely and I'm on my way now, but I was looking for the singles lineup before I went and the BBC website still hasn't posted them; should have checked twitter, they're posted there, probably a long time ago.
golf_bhoy Agreed with that part, but the lineup doesn't have much. Maybe Garcia and Dechambeau at Match 4

I hope this doesn't come back to bite him!
βThey have run the score up on us before. And if we have the opportunity, we are going to run it up on them tomorrow.β β Tony Finau.
Kind of surprised Tony would say that.

azgreg Wow, when you're down aren't you supposed to send your best out first? Rory would have been hidden in the middle of the pack if it were me.
I think the Euro's have a good shot in the first 3 matches if Rory wakes up but then I see the US with slam dunks in the next 3. And since I don't see Rory waking up, I look for DJ/Casey to be the clincher
Just got done watching tape delay....Fabulous afternoon matches. USA
I'd hate to be captain of the team that needs 9 wins out of 12 matches today.
Not a wise move based on form....BUT....if he plays well and wins, it would be big. If they get thru those first 2 matches it might get interesting. Worth the risk IMO!
azgreg The US is favored in every match except Rahm's.
Yea, and heavily favored at that. DJ, Morikawa are -200 and Finau is -225. That's really high odds for a golf singles match. I put $10 on all the Americans and took DJ, Morikawa, English and Thomas in a 4 man parlay. Also took Finau, Bryson, Cantlay and Xander together.
garyt1957 I don't gamble (more of thinking it is only at casinos), but frankly didn't realize how widespread it is, plus all the ads about sites didn't realize how easy it must be to wager on sports.
sdandrea1 Yeah, McGinley gave some long psychological strategy for Harrington. Not sure he believed it, but apparently this gives the Euros some kind of bump as McIlroy will be pressed to win by playing well

Yea if it's legal in your state it's a couple clicks on your phone. I don't gamble big, just something to keep me interested. If the RC is decided by the 6th match I'll still have a rooting interest in the rest
