US about to be 4-13 in the last 4 team sessions going back to last years Ryder Cup.

Edit: Webb showing some stones here. Thanks for playing.

Yeah, this place is fantastic. Forces creative shots, ball on the ground way more interesting than in the air.

This is right in Tiger’s wheelhouse and he looks as good as ever.

To follow up to his mock shovel routine, Reed air mails the green and probably loses a hole for the US.

This is becoming a full on disaster.

That Rickie putt feels huge. 3-jacking a half point away there would’ve sucked after the team clawed back into it.

What did they yell at each other there? Something “the B!”
The reports I read this morning are that they were both yelling an old Terrell Owens line at each other: "I LOVE ME SOME ME!" Which is moderately amusing, if odd.

Thomas yelled, “I love me some me,” thanks to a YouTube video he had been watching of Terrell Owens. Lost in it all is that Woods said the same thing. They had been watching the video on the team bus earlier in the morning and decided they’d say it if something big happened. “We had our moment on the last hole and we both said it at the same time,” he said.

The black hole of Patrick Reed and Webb Simpson paired together again today. They've managed to trail in 28 of the 34 holes they've played so far. Tiger sitting himself out, pairing Rickie with JT.

Who would have thought the international team's premiere pairing today would be Ancer and Im.

Haven’t ever seen this before- Li played well out of turn on 2 and the US is making him hit the shot again.

Edit: And of course they drop coverage to go back to the first tee. So annoying, something interesting happening and they move on.

I feel badly for Webb that he gets stuck with the asshole. Webb is a good dude and an extremely solid player.

Li was already shaky - he might be psychologically done after this hole.

They went back to it, and he hit a much worse shot than the first time. Ended up deeper in the shit.
Match play is fun.

Webb being perplexed the ball doesn’t stop where he wants it to is annoying. It’s not an Tour course where you fly it to hole and it checks up after 2 hops, asshat.

"It's hard to believe you can lose a ball out here with all these spectators." Meanwhile during this, in the background in the video where Cantlay's ball went there's thick trees/bushes and maybe a total of 10-15 people stretching 100 yards.

NBC is a stain on golf coverage.
