Ryder Cup

Friday fourballs:

Watson/Simpson vs Rose/Stenson
Fowler/Walker vs Bjorn/Kaymer
Spieth/Reed vs Gallacher/Poulter
Bradley/Mickelson vs Garcia/McIlroy
 
Not really, I think that's about what you'd be looking at.
 
He's broken up the McDowell/McIlroy partnership for this format but as GMac says, that makes sense these days. All that tends to happen in fourballs is Rory tees off, smokes it 320 yards down the fairway and it's fairly pointless McDowell even having a turn most of the time because he isn't getting near that range. Would imagine they'll be paired up again for the foursomes.
 
I thought the first fourball matches were best score not betterball?
 
Yes. So there's no point in McDowell playing with Rory if he's continually playing his second shot from 60 yards further back.
 
It's no guarantee of a better score though. Completely understandable in betterball.
 
No but GMac said its hard psychologically to step up after that and be expected to follow suit
 
McIlroy and McDowell's record together is a bit disappointing - something like 2.5 points out of 6.
 
Plus they're talking out of their shitters when they say the legal problems haven't effected their dynamic. I'd be surprised if we see them play together. GMac has said that he prefers to be the senior partner too; I suppose mentoring a team mate helps his own game in a few ways, so I doubt we'll see him with Rory, Westwood or Polts. The second match is the only one I'm worried about tbh, but I think we'll finish the session 3.5 to .5. Mickleson is having a shitter of a year, Bubba won't cope with the course and Spieth has burnt out. It'll be a piece of piss in the end.

On a personal level, I prefer the away rotations, as it's easier to watch with mates and make a night of it. I'm at a conference all day tomorrow, so have got to avoid the scores (and basically the whole internet) until half seven when the highlights start. Saturday I've got two kids and a wife, and Sunday I've got one kid and no wife. Gutted!
 
I'm getting up tomorrow and getting stuck in whilst at home. Should be good!
 
Happy days.

Squeeze has put Sky Sports on for the Ryder Cup. On our package we have to have it for two months. Wolves game at the weekend and also the end of the F1 season. GET IN.

Best wife ever.
 
Cashing in on those man points you earned last weekend!

Justin Rose = Young Roy Hodgson

He even talks a bit like him.
 
Garcia's driving has been fucking appalling this afternoon.
 
That's a big half point from Sergio and Rory. Fantastic last two holes.
