    My own gut feeling as well but no Tiger Woods is a bonus.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Good God!

    'Irish fans follow the group of Team Europe players Padraig Harrington of Ireland and Robert Karlsson of Sweden against Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim of the United States during their Foursome Match at the 37th Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky on September 19, 2008.'

    Cracking stuff today and its pretty tight I think the Americans needs to be up by three going into the singles. Some big moments over the next few hours.

    9-7 with the singles under way.


    The order of play for the singles are:

    Kim (USA) vs. Garcia (EUR)
    Mahan (USA) vs. Casey (EUR)
    Leonard (USA) vs. Karlsson (EUR)
    Mickelson (USA) vs. Rose (EUR)
    Perry (USA) vs. Stenson (EUR)
    Weekley (USA) vs. WIlson (EUR)
    Holmes (USA) vs. Hansen (EUR)
    Furyk (USA) vs. Jimenez (EUR)
    Cink (USA) vs. McDowell (EUR)
    Stricker (USA) vs. Poulter (EUR)
    Curtis (USA) vs. Westwood (EUR)
    Campbell vs. Harrington (EUR)


    Poulter has justified his wildcard selection but Paul Casey has been nothing short of awful and his poor golf seems to have continued in the singles today.
    Both Casey and Harrington have been useless. Harrington has buckled under the pressure of being Faldo's team leader.

    To be fair, I thought Harrington was good on the first day, and carried Karlsson throughout...

    Well, that was interesting.

    Few thoughts:

    Poulter played super so good news that we can drop the joe duffy hysteria about Clarke - by the way the guy that should be cheesed off for not getting a pick is Carl Pettersson - won twice in the US this year

    Harrington not at it - not a surprise as he must be knackered

    The young guns for the states were awesome - holmes, boo and kim - top class

    Faldo clearly finding it difficult top cope with the loss - this is hurting him

    Zinger tactics super - cut the rough as his guys are generally bigger drivers and better putters - the euros are better shotmakers - so make it into a game of target golf

    It will end up close and really JB against Hansen was the killer game

    Good stuff - lookihg forward to next year already

    2010 Celtic Manor. You might be a little early if you go next year.


    Westwood seems pretty annoyed. Could be a backlash. He said he was abused all week.

    Yep said that badly - I meant next golf season - although they have a few mickey mouse events left, this is pretty much the season end

    Westwood hacked off ? didnt see that - presumably comments from the crowd ?

    the US team look like priests at the closing cermony.

    Hard for Faldo, 1st time in his career he hasn't been in control and hard to just stand there.
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    And Mahan, stellar performance.

    That was the key match alright, if Hansen had managed to turn it around it might have energised Westwood and Harrington at the tail end. Maybe

    Very hacked off. Spoke of abuse all week, seemingly very personal, he was clearly very angry about it. Worse than Brookline the papers will say he said (though what he actually said was that Brookline wasn't all that bad for him). I'd be surprised if there isn't something made of this.

    Watched it until the USA got to 14 and a half points. Found Sky's commentary very biased towards Europe and their continual statements that "this is going down to the wire" laughable when for 85% of the time the Board was looking very red. Only at one stage did Europe get ahead in a majority of the games and that lasted about 10 minutes.

    I am not a golf fan but as a contest, it is gripping stuff. I just wish the spectators wouldn't keep shouting "in the hole!!" for every shot, even those from 400 yards. USA were due a win so no huge surprise. Might help them kick start out of the recession Barely a black face to be seen in the crowd. Despite Tiger Woods, must be very much a white sport still in the States.

    Although they were never going to be unbiased, the above line is more a "sky" line than a european one. They were always going to try and hype it for as long as possible.

    I don't know if Faldo can be criticised too much as he took a gamble with the singles & it did not work out. Match was closer than scoreline suggested as might have been different results from Westwood & Harrington if it really mattered. Poulter was top scorer was a major plus for Faldo. Garcia & Harrington never performed. Even though Kim was tearing up the course yesterday Garcia made it easier by imploding.

    No harm the US winning as was getting a little boring with Europe winning all the time. Boo & the other rednecks (not an abusive term for them) will need to apply for passports for wales in two years time.

    Recent results would seem to indicate it is second tier golfers who perform the best. The kind of guys who finish top 10 or 20 in the majors but never challenge but capable of raising their game for the 3 days.
