Ryder Cup

Even when they are teeing off at a par 5

b/c they're a-holes.

All went pear shaped - and now, as expected from the media here, Faldo is the villain.

Not the fact that the Seppos played out of their skin to win the Cup with consumate ease in the end ....

Watching last night, the seppos sank every put possible. Oliver Wilson carded 4 or 5 under and got d1cked!!! Hardly Faldo's fault!!!

Charlie, they hardly missed a putt in the entire competition.

Aye, infact Faldos strategy may have even still paid off if Europe had pulled off a couple of shocks in the first 6 matches.

At the time the match was still live Europe were well up in 3 of the last 4 games.

Didn't get to watch it all, but the seppos putted superbly.

Could have been different had Casey and Hansen holed their chances.

Just seemed the seppos took theirs and the Euro's didn't.

Still much closer than the score shows IMO.

Aye, I would have loved to have seen Faldo win the Cup - sadly it's the only real blemish on an otherwise brilliant career.
he had a plan - chose his team well - they played great golf.
The Americans played marginally better, and crucially, the Seppos putts went down, ours kept missing by millimeters.
The crowd were, as usual, sh!t rabble - I don't mind partisan, expect it even, but cheering missed Euro putts summed up their crassness.
And then Azinger tells us solemnly what a respectful gallery they were. FFS.
Bugger - two years to wait now ...

At the end of the day Faldo's picks worked.

His major players were not at the races.

And the seppos putters were on fire all weekend. Nowt more you can do really.

Aye - agree with all of the above.

Superb standard of golf from both sides, but the States deserved their win.

Great sporting spectacle as usual spoilt only by the morons in the galleries, and a couple of apparent in breds brandishing irons and putters to some effect.

Mentioning no names . . . booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Only the US's 4th win in quarter of a century. In the previous 56 years they only failed to win 4 times.

I suppose the reason for the change is pretty obvious.
