Sure would be nice to see all four matches instead of just two. NBC coverage is bad like the Americans play. If we could see it.

It’s amazing. Two last critical matches and NBC didn’t show a single shot from the JT match for 80 minutes.
We did see almost every shot from matches where the US is 5 and 4 up.
Plus Azinger.
It truly is. Very irritating to watch no shots being played when you know there are shots from all four matches taking place. I don’t need to see guys look at their shots, back off, grab another club, then reassess their shot. If you are going to interview players, do it with a split screen while play is going on.
This just in, Jordan Speith sucks. It’s absolutely embarrassing. Two on one with his play. Feel for Justin Thomas.

I’m sorry, but if Zach encouraged Spieth to hit 3-wood there, then criticism is warranted. Big time.
That was such a Ferentzian decision.
That was such a Ferentzian decision.
What a horrible decision foe Spieth to hit 3W there. Good lord, he needed to be hitting driver right at the stick
Wtf? You gotta go for eagle. This Ryder Cup is basically over.
What is Johnson doing? His pairings have been bad and that coaching was worse. What are Stricker and Love doing?
Hit driver at the pin - not 3 wood.
Cantlay should pay us for the tedious grind of watching him play.
If both of the Euros were in trouble it may have made sense, but one is in the greenside bunker and the other on the fringe. Your partner is in good position. You just absolutely have to assume they make birdie so you need eagle to stay alive.
Inexplicable.
That damn Zach has missed sooo many short putts too! And his driving has been terrible!
Let’s ALL dog-pile on Zach! (And I am sure Biden and the Democrats are responsible to some extent, too.)
Have you noticed at all that the Euros are playing lights out...and they are playing in front of the home crowd?
The Americans got hit fast and hard right out of the gate yesterday...and the Euros are not letting up.
Zach will take a lion’s share of the blame because....we Americans do business that way. Zach and Cantlay are going to bare the brunt of much “internet noise” as Americans practice the First Amendment Rights.
I think the USA’s biggest mistake was too much player “time off” between the Tour and the Ryder Cup.
If they played next week, it could be a complete reversal. But, who knows. But, it will probably be a short day tomorrow.
Why do you have to make everything political? Go clean your above ground pool.
Yes Joel. I’ve noticed how the US team is playing. Spieth and Thomas are in the bottom 4 in shots gained of the 24 players, yet they keep getting sent out as if their game will magically improve this time. That’s on the Captain.
Play your best players … who are playing the best right now.
Golf is too hard and too swingy to ask even the world’s best players to “find their game” on the course, much less than in Europe in the middle of a Ryder Cup.
It ain’t political...it’s how folks think and talk! “Above ground pool”? How phuquin’ ignorant are you? “Above ground pool” is awfully middle class, ain’t it?
Wrong with regards to the politics as you always do and so you do have an above ground pool.
It’s not like Speith and Thomas don’t have a successful history, St Louis. Speith has played poorly this week so far, as has Scheffler, if you wanna blame Zach (for going with experience and successes) blame away....you are going be in a long, long line. Zach is going to take a lot of heat for this week (barring a miracle). Heat he really doesn’t deserve. But, if you’re going to cast dispersions on ZJ for playing Speith, better remember that Zach picked Thomas...when no one else thought Thomas should be on the team.
How do you not ask Cantlay the question about whether he raised the issue of pay? Terrible NBC.
You said it - history. As in the past.
You keep sending out 2 of the bottom 4 players this week, and pairing them, hoping things will change - you deserve all the heat that comes with that decision. Sorry.
Nope...a cement pond! It’s closed and covered now, so please don’t come over.
And why do baseball managers keep putting guys in slumps on the field? Probably because, in the managers eyes, they are the team’s best bet. It’s the nature of the beast. Unless Zach has a lot of money on the Euros this week.
162 baseball games vs. 4 matches in 2 days.
You don’t have time for the percentages to play out at the Ryder Cup.
So you play your gu
So you go with your instincts and play who you trust. Zach has known these guys for many years. All of the guys on the team. I think it’s silly to rationalize outstanding play by your opponents by trashing your team’s performance....or lack of performance. Would someone else have done something different? Perhaps. But, would a different US lineup have altered the Euro’s sterling golf performance of the last couple of days? Doubtful. Is there a guarantee that other golfers would have played better today than Speith and Thomas? I really saw no indication based on the first 3 rounds of play.
Was just going to post this. Evidently he was after Cantlay caddie about something on the 18th green. Anyone know what happened?
I was wrong. Thomas and Spieth are ranked 23rd and 24th. The bottom two.
So yes, I guarantee that any other US players would have played better than Spieth and Thomas.
Keep playing the hunch because that always works.
Don’t know. But at least we have some life now. It’s like when Poulter turned the last match in 2012.
Caddie was bouncing around and waving his hat while Rory was lining up his putt.
I believe it had to do with a post putt celebration and the caddy got in a player’s way, or something...but I don’t understand why Rory was so involved with Bones...who is really universally regarded as one of pro golf’s “good guys”...
Boys and testosterone is my guess...
Don't think it has anything to do with Bones, he just happened to be between Rory and the caddie
I think the Euro team was just unhappy about the level of celebrating from the US when Cantlay made his putt, since the Euros both had make able putts that would've halved the hole and the match.
All day the Euro fans having been waving their hats at Cantlay about not wearing a hat like the US team. It was reported on social media that he was doing it because he’s not getting paid. Not sure if true or not but Joe Lacava, Cantlay’s caddie joined the rest of team USA by waving his hat in response to the fans doing it after Cantlay’s drained a 43 footer for birdie to basically slam the door on splitting the point with a much needed team win.
Apparently, Joe was in Rory’s way or partially in his way for his potential birdie putt to try and tie it. Rory told him he was in his way but didn’t seem to upset about it, then Shane Lowry started barking at Lacava for being in his way and waving his hat. Lacava waved them off and basically said whatever.
From there, the Euro’s feelings got hurt when PCant took their lunch money and Rory lost his match by being up 1 with three to play. PCant birdied 16, 17, and 18 to win the match. Rory only has one person he should be upset with and that is himself for losing the match.
So does Cantlay...methinks he and Rory are first group out! Donald is gonna front load his line-up to win it early. Rory, Rahm, Hovland, Rose and Fleetwood would be my guess as his first out in his attempt to win it early. It’s gonna be a tough “match up” for Zach to counter.
Why would I come over if it’s covered and I’ve got my own? Enjoy your closed pool, ours is still open and heated.
