I agree, and I like Sergio, too.I'm with you. It's an awesome group of guys and it's fun to see them win on their home soil.
Also, sorry, but I love Poulter.
This was a total asswhooping, though.... would have been nice to see it competitive.

No I get it but at least take the drop and put it on the green then concede from up there. I’ve just never seen it before on the point that wins the Ryder Cup.True, but for the match to continue past 16. Phil would have needed to make the next shot AND have Molinari 3 putt from 20 feet. Maybe Phil should have tried to make the shot first
Tiger and Phil were useless. Reed was terrible. Bubba got a point but he's awful. DeChambeau did nothing. Spieth was pretty good, but really murdered the US today. Absolutely killed the team by getting steamrolled. Fowler and DJ were HORRENDOUS. You're right, you cannot do anything when 67% of the team are lousy.Just a piss poor performance. The only bright spots were JT, Finau, Webb, Brooks. Can’t win with 6+ players being lousy.
I'm with you guys, I said it back before it started. I like the European players more. I love Poulter. II'm with you. It's an awesome group of guys and it's fun to see them win on their home soil.

Sorry man. Permission to gloat in two years when the USA team wins at a canter. I won't even be a proper European in two years time.This is uncalled for. Watching this carnage is sadistic and masochistic.
Yeah was going to post on that. He is an odd mix. He is singing with the crowd, taking down the be quiet signs, but then pulls that dic k moveOn the side TV, Im watching Douchchambeau make Noren putt a 18 incher.
It'll without a doubt be Phil.Who's on deck to captain this bunch in two years, and is that the same person it should be?
He took those down because they had taken out the tee markers and they needed something to hit from.Yeah was going to post on that. He is an odd mix. He is singing with the crowd, taking down the be quiet signs, but then pulls that dic k move
You've got to figure Tiger will slide in there somewhere around that time as wellIn seriousness, I think Stricker is next up for the captaincy and then Phil in 2022, unless they hold him back for 2024 on home soil.
Phil as captain at Bethpage is so going to be the play.In seriousness, I think Stricker is next up for the captaincy and then Phil in 2022, unless they hold him back for 2024 on home soil.
Stricker seems like an excellent choice. Similar temperament as DLIIIIn seriousness, I think Stricker is next up for the captaincy and then Phil in 2022, unless they hold him back for 2024 on home soil.
There's no way they wait 6 years for Phil. If Phil wants it next, he'll get it.Phil as captain at Bethpage is so going to be the play.
Unless they tell him he can be player-captain, it seems very unlikely he’d make that decision in the next three months. The guy still thinks he’s going to win the US Open next year.There's no way they wait 6 years for Phil. If Phil wants it next, he'll get it.
He seemed realistic about this being his last match on foreign soil, but I think he has every intention on playing in 2020.There's no way they wait 6 years for Phil. If Phil wants it next, he'll get it.
He might be changing his mind with how he played.He seemed realistic about this being his last match on foreign soil, but I think he has every intention on playing in 2020.

Stricker is also from Wisconsin. That is a done deal.Stricker seems like an excellent choice. Similar temperament as DLIII
I don’t think he’ll throw in the towel that quick. They have to name the captain in the next few months.He might be changing his mind with how he played.
I think he is realizing now he may not get picked again.He might be changing his mind with how he played.
Spieth is now 0-6-0 combined in Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup singles.Spieth getting smoked really killed the entire US team. Things were going ok and then he was down 5 and everything deflated. He was a huge favorite. The other big favorite, Molinari, got the job done. Spieth did not.
Yes, they do need to. Problem is how? They don’t know the team - even outside of the captains picks - until just before it, or Id say maybe provide an exemption to the new 25 tournament rule, but that’s not something they can actually do. Perhaps the extra time between end of Fedex and start of this provides a window? Send them for an extra week of practice rounds? Certainly wouldn’t hurt the camaraderie aspect. Identify a group of, say, 32 or so leading candidates and send them over during shoulder season? I don’t follow the European Tour but I imagine most of these courses are played yearly, so maybe you make it a condition of eligibility for the team, you have to go play that tournament (barring injury or conflict with a Major or sponsor tournament here)?Part of the problem is that either part of the Euro team has seen these courses before, but they are new to the Americans. Whereas when it's a home game, the Euros are just as familiar with the course as the Americans.
They need to find a way to play the courses before competition.
Sure, but There was a whole bunch of the team who flew over to Paris a couple weeks after the Paris Open to play some practice rounds.Yes, they do need to. Problem is how?

I know I’m throwing shot against a wall here, but I e been having the same thought since yesterday, that the Euros play our courses but we don’t play theirs. That even leads to a bit of an advantage on the travel aspect (jet lag, etc).
I wasn't aware a group went over. That's even worse. So that shit didn't stick to the wall?? Lol.Sure, but There was a whole bunch of the team who flew over to Paris a couple weeks after the Paris Open to play some practice rounds.
And of course the one Euro who noticeably skipped the Paris event this year, as he was at the same time winning his first PGA tour event that week, was Francisco Molinari.
