Course will not help americans here

I see a way we can win.... Have you know who lay money on the Euros and we will win it going away.

Overton and Mickelson getting paired up together should lead to a chance for a couple of pts in alternate shot.
Overton said he needed the break he had 2 weeks ago, but it sure didn't translate to this past week's showing.


Tiger should be out there for at 3 events. Best Ball.

Have no idea about the other players' pairings.

I hate to say it, but I really think the US is going to get steamrolled.

ooooohhhhh, only less than two days until we can witness the pure unadulterated excitement of watching 8 golfers watch golf shots and not play golf to determine a winner of a golfing competition. can't wait.

My two brothers are there to watch this. The only way I would go is to play the courses there.

I don't see it Phil. Europe may win, but I don't think it's gonna be a steamroll. I, for one, am looking forward to a great weekend of golf.

The Euro lineup is stronger top to bottom... and they don't even have two of their best players on the team (Casey and Rose.) Homecourt advantage on a course built specifically for this event. Based on how they are playing right now/have played in previous Ryder Cups, I would rank them as such:

Jim Furyk Rory McIlroy
Dustin Johnson Luke Donald
Steve Stricker Graeme McDowell
Phil Mickelson Ian Poulter
Zach Johnson Martin Kaymer
Stewart Cink Lee Westwood (Westwood has an injury concern or would be higher)
Tiger Woods Francesco Molinari
Bubba Watson Edoardo Molinari
Matt Kuchar Ross Fisher
Rickie Fowler Padraig Harrington
Hunter Mahan Miguel Angel Jimenez
Jeff Overton Peter Hanson

Every Ryder Cup there are at least 5 miracle match play acts of God that turn or win matches. Throw away the expectations, the Cup is won by the better team, time and time again.

Tiger will win or be party to at least 3 points this weekend, as he takes advantage of the strongest part of his game. Match play is the wheelhouse of his previous game.

True. I worked the Ryder Cup in '95, and the US team was SO much better than the Euros... and lost.

I like it less than I used to, but it's still a great event.
