    Would you take 3-1 down after first four matches? I dont think i would, with a couple close it would be nice if we can knick a half or 2, if we can go in 2-2 will feel like a win 

    Poulter & Mclroy is very frustrating, do you think Mclroy would have benefited being first out? or wouldn't have mattered as he is in poor form probably a bit of a risk. 
  • Dont think we'll be seeing rory/poults pairing again,they've been awful between them,not taking anything away from the yank pair though,theyve been superb. 
  • We were 3-1 down after the first session in 2018, not a problem.

    As much as I think he should be, I don't think Rory will be dropped this afternoon. I think Harrington will pair him with someone solid like Hovland to give him a chance to go for it and hopefully get his confidence up.

    Can see the pairings being something like...

    Rahm / Garcia
    Rory / Hovland
    Casey / Lowry
    Fleetwood / Poulter (or Wiesberger)

    I'd be happy with those pairings. Just think it's a ryder cup too far for some of team Europe and I think we'll have a mountain to climb come Sunday unfortunately. More than happy to be proved wrong!

    Where do you see Hatton fitting into the mix?
  • Where do you see Hatton fitting into the mix?
    Paddy has said that everyone will get a game. I’d pair Hatton the petulant with Lowry who doesn’t give a fcuk and will just get on with it. 
  • Where do you see Hatton fitting into the mix?
    I'd probably swap Poults out for Hatton thinking about it.
  • Where do you see Hatton fitting into the mix?
    Completely forgot about Hatton! Him in for Hovland then. Wies instead of Poults.
  • I'm about 20 mins behind in real time having had to pause it earlier but it seems to me that Europe just can't seem to hole a putt. Nothing from outside 4 foot. All just slide past the hole on either side.

    Early doors though. Plenty more golf to be played.

    Crazy shot from Spieth to give them hope at the 17th hole but in vein because Thomas can't make the putt. Rahm & Garcia win 3&1.

    US 0-1 EU
  • That Speith shot was ridiculous

    Morikawa & Johnson defeat Casey & Hovland 3&2.

    US 1-1 EU
  • Cantlay & Schauffele defeat McIlroy & Poulter 5&3.

    US 2-1 EU
  • Had our arses kicked this session. Need much better this afternoon
  • Koepka & Berger defeat Westwood & Fitzpatrick 2&1.

    US 3-1 EU
  • Westwood is such a fanny with the putter. I have zero confidence he will make it when it matters.

    He shouldnt be there full stop. So out of form.
  • Well, that was crap then.

    Westwood cant putt
    Poulter & McIlroy off their games
    Hovled a starstruck rookie.

    And we can replace them with Weisberger & Lowry......

    It's like replacing Watson for Dobson.

    The weakest Team Europe we've had for a while. Will take something very special to pull anything out the bag over there.

    This. 

    Some of the players are there due to what they did last year, not the last 2 months.
  • My predictions, likely to be wrong but for fun

    DJ / Xander v Casey / Wisberger  - USA Win
    Bryson / Scottie Scheffle v Rahm/ Hatton - Halved, flashes of brilliance v solid from both pairs. 
    Finau/ English v Rory & Lowery - Europe win (Tinted specs) 
    Interesting one, hard to call but i think experiance for Europe we need to win this really to keep it from getting away from us. 
    Thomas/Cantlay v Fleetwood/Hovland - USA Win
    Have a feeling Europe pair will work, but Thomas and Cantlay both too solid

    Tried to not be bias, but could honestly see it being a clean sweep.

    Good to see the white flags being raised already and it’s not just in the football…

    As a reminder, Europe haven’t won the Friday morning session since 2006 yet they’ve won 4 out of 6 Ryder Cups since then.
  • Not impressed with the afternoon fourball pairings. He might as well send Watson and Morgan out together.

    I get it has been very negative, even before it started. Just more recognising USA based on rankings are the strongest team ever. I don't see much weaknesses, where we have to play our best every single one to have a chance. Its not impossible, fingers crossed it will turn starting with the four balls. 
  • Not surprised that Harrington has ensured everyone plays today, in fact the Americans have done the same. Need at least a split this afternoon or this could start to get nasty.
  • somehow need to come out of this session no worse than 2-2
  • Can't afford to get too far adrift, otherwise it will be an awfully long way back.
