Not conceding the shorty for par and giving Hovland a chance to chip is not what you want in a match where you have all the momentum.

I’m not a Cantlay fan but this smells like a scapegoat hit piece. Like it’s one guy’s fault that the whole team has puked all over themselves?

It was reported by Jamie Weir who is with Sky Sports. I think it is likely a dramatic over exaggeration of something he heard. The gala part is already looking like incorrect information.

If it was a hit piece there are like 1,000 other reporters that it would’ve leased to first.

As I said Cantlay is almost certainly a dick and probably wants to be paid but the fractured team thing is probably an exaggeration of the situation .

Yeah, sounds like bullshit. They may come within a point of losing before a ball is played on Sunday and it is because a guy won’t wear a hat?

Just tuning in. Who thought it was a good idea for both teams to have white tops and blue pants? I can’t even tell who’s who.

Real stupid indeed - you have to differentiate by the collar.

So why isn't he wearing a hat? Psoriasis? In other contexts, an athlete's decision not to wear a flag-emblazoned uniform part would be a controversy of a different type.

(though the idea that he's causing an internal problem are likely overblown)

Some guys don’t like wearing hats. Rory has gone hatless in Ryder Cups before.
I hope someone asks him. Just like if one guy was the *only* one not wearing rain gear in the rain. Or long sleeves in the cold.

Those two blue matches better end red or it's really dead.

Damn, we were looking at 3.5 points here and now the last two matches have to battle hard.

They are so bad at scene setting. We see MacIntyre skull one over the green but no fucking mention of where the other 3 players are.

Are they short on-site staff? This coverage is seriously poor. The on-air talent are consistently 2 seconds behind the video feed.

The hazard of having one pair of announcers covering the whole thing, instead of ones "in the tower" at multiple greens?
