2021 Ryder Cup- Whistling Straits

[Catcher Block]

Brooks & Berger arguing with the rules official who is just trying to do his job is a little tough to take. If Brooks is that worried about his wrist then just take an unplayable.

Yeah. If this was Bryson, we'd be killing him for it.

 

[johnmd20]

Brooks is doing a little Dechamblees impression here.

 

[RedOctober3829]

This is compelling stuff

 

[Zomp]

Good for the two rules officials.


"If i break my wrist its on you guys"

shut up Brooks. So unlikeable. Take an unplayable.

 

[E5 Yaz]

If I were Brooks, I'd be more upset at Berger

 

[The Napkin]

Sergio almost sounds like he agrees with Brooks. This is bizarre.

it did sound that way, didn't it? Could he theoretically have spoken up and would it have mattered at all to the officials?

 

[JOBU]

Good for the two rules officials.


"If i break my wrist its on you guys"

shut up Brooks. So unlikeable. Take an unplayable.

So what would happen if a player had to withdraw in this format? Just concede entire match? Can a teammate come in and take his place?

 

[RedOctober3829]

If I were Brooks, I'd be concerned with that drainage ditch too given his wrist. I'd have asked for the same thing.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The aggrieved Brooks Koepke with just an unbelievable shot. Mercy.

 

[E5 Yaz]

And, gee, he didn't break his arm

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Pretty nice FU there.

 

[Zomp]

Edit: Apparently I was wrong

 

[Catcher Block]

Holy shit.

And yeah, all credit to the rules officials there. They got that right.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

And, gee, he didn't break his arm

To be fair I think his club went through it

 

[The Napkin]

And, gee, he didn't break his arm

he did swing through the ditch though which was his point

 

[Zomp]

To be fair I think his club went through it

Did it? I thought it was below where the club went.

 

[joe dokes]

To be fair I think his club went through it

It wasn't the ditch itself, it was hitting the opposite side of the ditch that he seemed worried about. And the rules guy looked at the line and said, "no, I dont think the opposite side (which is raised up from the ditch and therefor the potential problem) is in the swing path. And the rules guy was exactly right. He swung along the ditch, not across it, as far I I could tell.

 

[Gator4MVP88]

Did it? I thought it was below where the club went.

It definitely stayed above the root mat on the other side of the ditch, which I understood to be his main concern.

 

[Zomp]

Thats how I read it too.


I mean either way. The wrist line was ridiculous.

 

[E5 Yaz]

No praise for the eagle hole-out?

 

[Dave Stapleton]

I agree Brooks can be a jerk but I do think he was concerned about what was under the drainage particularly given his injury. And his club seemed to go through the area he was worried about so just because there proved to be nothing under it doesn’t mean he wasn’t right.

I agree his comment about his wrist to the officials was petulant and way out of line.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

No praise for the eagle hole-out?

Nice shot and Casey is extremely likable.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

I think Finau deserved a spot in the am.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I think Finau deserved a spot in the am.

At this point, so does Koepka ... who appears to be a one-man team

 

[johnmd20]

Nice comeback for JT and Jordan.

In the middle of his match, he's pretty fired up and in his zone. The response from him was not that far out of line.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Seve would have done the same thing, said the same things, and taken another half hour.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Sergio magic

 

[RedOctober3829]

Yeah that's a masterful shot from Garcia.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Berger may as well pick up now and go on to the next hole.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Seve would have done the same thing, said the same things, and taken another half hour.

And this board would trash him for it. But ... laundry

 

[RedOctober3829]

And this board would trash him for it. But ... laundry

Yeah that's kind of the point of the RC isn't it?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yeah that's kind of the point of the RC isn't it?

Not for me. I just want to watch great golf

 

[Freddy Linn]

And this board would trash him for it. But ... laundry

And what about Sons of Sam Torrance?

 

[joe dokes]

And this board would trash him for it. But ... laundry

Speaking of laundry....people wearing flag suits should be launched into the lake.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Hatton with a huge, huge miss.

 

[Phragle]

And this board would trash him for it. But ... laundry

Who are you, EU Yaz?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Speaking of laundry....people wearing flag suits should be launched into the lake.

Or strung from a pole

 

[RedOctober3829]

It's looking more and more like 2 points for USA and 1 point for Europe. Match 3 is such a big pivot point.

 

[Gator4MVP88]

And what about Sons of Sam Torrance?

Perhaps this line has been used here before, but I found it to be fantastic.

 

[E5 Yaz]

It's looking more and more like 2 points for USA and 1 point for Europe. Match 3 is such a big pivot point.

Agreed, and neither team seems to capitalize on chances to take a lead

 

[joe dokes]

Or strung from a pole

Launch the wearer, hang the clothes. Win-win.

Brooks confirms the inevitable on that hole.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Brooks/Berger and JT should sit and rest this afternoon.

DJ/Schauffele
BDC/Scheffler
Finau/English
Spieth/Cantlay

 

[johnmd20]

Well, Brooks got flipped pretty hard because of Berger the choking dog.

But JT and Spieth have also flipped their match. So that might be a break even, which is advantage US.

 

[johnmd20]

Needless to say, we won't be seeing Daniel Berger this afternoon.

 

[joe dokes]

Garcia opens the door, Berger walks into the wall.

I wonder of Berger/Koepka is one too many insanely intense guys in one pairing.

 

[E5 Yaz]

This is going to be a rout. There aren't enough Europeans playing well to win points on Sunday

 

[johnmd20]

"Dustin Johnson with a pretty straight forward sand wedge shot here."

It's a bad shot.

Heh, I wonder if that was live?

 

[JOBU]

Really impressive choke job by koepka and Berger here. Looks like it won’t matter much with Us up in other 3 matches

 

[E5 Yaz]

Garcia opens the door, Berger walks into the wall.

No, it's fine. It's real. You know, in actuality, Berger would have to struggle with this problem every day.
