The Official Ryder Cup Thread 2014

[lowdrag]

Is Rory becoming the new Tiger? Brilliant in stroke play, rubbish at match play? Discuss.

Eh?

It's a forum where people who steal, go to reminisce about a bitey person whilst arguing with themselves.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't go that far but both he and Garcia aren't looking in great form.

Stunning putt from Rory.

[Digger]

Drained it!

Watching sporadically. What's this mention of a new driver for Rory. Did it break earlier or is it new this week?

[fathomfive]

No idea, but Sergios recovery shot to 18 from Rorys wide drive was awesome.

[28Valves]

Rory has put a new driver in the bag this week. He played with it this morning too.

Yes very strange decision.

Surprised no Sergio or GMac in the morning. Would have partnered them with Dubisson and Rory respectively.

Close matches this morning.

On another note, I cannot believe how many golfers continue to wear those Power Balance bands. I understand many golfers are superstitious, but that's just daft.

It's a case of "well in pretty sure they don't do anything, but he's wearing one so maybe I should wear one just in case"

They're just levelling the playing field in their heads. Stupid I agree, but if a million or so dollars is resting on the way you play over a weekend then you'd wear one if everybody else is surely!

[Digger]

I'm guessing it's possible that they might just be being paid to wear them as well?

Unbelievable golf from Rose and Stenson. 12 under through 16!

The next two games look gone so we desperately need Rory and Poults to come up with the goods.

[AlmostUseful]

You do have to wonder who signs off on the US Ryder cup kits, they always look so terrible in comparison to the classy European ones.

Why are the Yanks wearing their Christmas jumpers? Did their mums knit them for them?

[fathomfive]

I'm ripping a bathroom out so had only just put the golf on.

Enough time to demand a moment of brilliance from him.

So I'm claiming the shot as mine

It's an evenly balanced cup this year with an even spread of tension throughout the matches.

The standard of golf has been phenomenal at times, but generally very high.

I wish I had the time to pick the game back up.
