I thought I would start one.
what do we think?
hard to call for me. Lots of players have shown some form over the last few weeks, the last two rounds of the Deustche Bank last weekend saw some really terrific golf.
Ominously Woods and big Phil showing form.
Home advantage probably counts for two points but 4 rookies in the US team V 1 for europe (who won the world matchplay this year) I think just tips it back towards Europe, but europe have a few guys off form too...
Very tough to call on a long course...

Well, it is now almost upon us - the final tourney before the RC finished last night with Snedecker (his name sounds like a pharmaceutical product to me - "could I have a box of Snedex please?") taking the tour championship and fedex cup.
as an aside, for all the cash at stake I thought the golf this weekend wasnt that great, the preceeding two fedex cup tournamnets were a much higher standard imho...
something to do with the format of the tour championship perhaps and teh final fedex cup rankings?
any how, all on now for Medinah, I'll be taking friday pm off and I'll be pretty much glued all weekend.

I really hope the crowds are as respectful to the european team as ours were to the americans at celtic manor.
big phil said as much two years ago..
all this "get in the hole" b
ks is getting very very annoying.
I'm not sure I like the commetns this morning like "bash their brains in"
golf is supposedly one of the few gentlemanly sports still out there imho - shuold keep it that way.
the more i see, the more I'm adging towards the US - I think home advantage is worth 2 points - we don't have that on them - but you just never know.
I wanted friday off too...bugger

i thought lawrie was a weak link too going in and sadly proved correct...
the coverage was tilted toward US shots hence not much of lawrie / hanson but what we did see didn;t look good..
5-3 is deffo recoverable... it would be nice going into the singles level then all to play for but too many of our guys this afternoon played poorly..the terrific iron play of the morning all but dissapeared, rose lost his touch on the greens, and twomacs were really never in it.
save for woods' poor form we were a poor second best in the fourballs...
colsearts - best player for europe by a mile...well done that man...lets just hope its not too much too soon and he gets over played..fourballs better for him...
europe to make 1 up tomorrow morning and give it back tomorrow afternoon...2 down going into the singles and i fear that will be maintained as it looks at present....
right now US by 3.
