2021 Ryder Cup

Subsonic

Looks like we have a little Forum Ryder Cup Brewing...

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.

Bravopilot

golf_bhoy Agreed with that part, but the lineup doesn't have much. Maybe Garcia and Dechambeau at Match 4

“They have run the score up on us before. And if we have the opportunity, we are going to run it up on them tomorrow.” — Tony Finau.

Kind of surprised Tony would say that.

Yea, US is acting like it's over. I thought JT and Berger celebrating and chugging beers and all that was a bit much. If it does get a little tight the pressure will be immense to not choke away the biggest lead ever. I don't think that will happen but you never know.
And Finau's comment doesn't even make sense. How do you run up the score in golf? It's not like Alabama playing some small school wher they could put 100 on them but take their foot off the throttle not to embarrass them. What are you going to do in golf, throw matches? Makes no sense.

ASU is a known party school with known porn stars among the student body. Foursome is a play on threesome.

garyt1957

azgreg OK, I knew it was sexual just didn't know how ASU played into it

azgreg

garyt1957

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

The US is favored in every match except Rahm's.

darpar

garyt1957 Rory would have been hidden

Almost seems like Harrington is throwing in the towel by sending "No Glory" Rory out first.🤔

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.

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.

darpar

Gotta win early for the comeback. I'm surprised too.

Bravopilot

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

ode

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!

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.

Have you tallied how much you won over the 3 days of the 'Cup'? I used to tinker at placing small bets locally with a restaurant owner (pretty good little golfer too in the one charitable scramble we played in.) He ran his book and late night poker games out of the backroom of his successful Chinese cafe with his family. UNTIL early one morning a fire bomb was hurled through the front window and that's when I said to myself that this she-it just got real and I'm out. KS hasn't approved any kind of online gambling yet...too many entities was their piece of the action so heavy duty lobbying has been going on a couple of years now. Greed.

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

garyt1957

Bravopilot Well, he has to win if they have any chance and yea, seeing Rory get it done could spark the troops. I kind of find all that stuff to be BS. Any professional athlete that can't get up for a competition without some outside help has a problem.
