2023 Ryder Cup - When in Rome...
- Thread starter crackerjack9
- Start date
That is a humongous point, only because now it is worth watching tomorrow. Still need a 8.5 to 3.5 tomorrow, which is nearly impossible, but only still POSSIBLE.
Cantlay's caddie was celebrating basically the only good moment for the US thus far and he got in the way of Rory. Not on purpose. Rory laughed it off but then Lowry started chirping.
Joey was celebrating Cantlay’s putt and inadvertently bumped into Rory. Lowry got pissy and told Joe to get out of the way. Joe told him to fuck off.
sham they puked away those points yesterday afternoon. 9.5-6.5 would be a lot more interesting.
The Eruo’s always prance around and strut after winning a bit heaven forbid the American’s celebrate, that’s just disrespectful.
It was accidental and The caddie bumped Rory who said no big deal and laughed it off. Lowry then struts all in to insert himself. Go find the video of Lowry running all over the green yesterday. He’s in the wrong.
I'll take your word for it. There's been plenty from each side over the years, though
Probably a hot take but I think I send Scheffler and Koepka out 1-2 tomorrow. Europe probably sends Rahm and Hovland out early and I think Scheffler and Koepka, bad as they have been, are our best bets to take them down. I think Europe will stash Rory in the back to give him time to rest as he’s going all 5 and plied 35 holes today. Then you hope in the middle you get some of the US guys playing well against Europe’s weaker players.
Rory mad at someone. That’s Bones who I think isn’t Rory’s target. It’s someone out of view.

i have officially come to the point where the whole emotion thing is baloney. I really like McGinley but enough with the “heart makes it happen” BS.
Bones was trying to diffuse. But Rory really did look pissed. I wonder what happened. I love this fake WWE drama. It's so stupid. But compelling.
My guess is Rory saw the whole hat waving thing from Joey after and started to get pissed. There’s so much of this on both sides and it’s all silly but fun. Once you are ok with fans screaming and cheering a miss or bad shot you’ve set the rules
The players were also doing the hat wave so I’m not sure what the issue is.
SiriusXM was theorizing that Lacava got in Rory’s sight line on the putt.
There was about 10,000 people around that green. That we have no footage, even cell phone film?

Yep. Rory mad Lacava didn’t move.

Yeah that’s the difference in the match right now even with getting skull fucked on Friday morning. Even if it was 10-6 it’s pretty doable.
This stuff is going to happen when fans get personal. Similar to when Burns got pissed after someone yelled to him to get a haircut before his putt. I think Homa also responded similarly. I love the game (playing and watching) but this stuff is so hilarious especially in an event like this.
In the words of the great Sgt. Hulka. “Lighten up Francis”

This appears to be the incident. Joe kinda hovers next to Rory as Rory starts to ljne up his putt. Rory appears to say something and Joe lingers and says something back before getting out of there.
Kinda a Dick move from Lacava but he also was never in Rory’s line and McGinley still pops in a whine about Brookline. The Euro’s still aren’t over it.

Honestly, Lacava seems to be out of line here. It’s really not cool for a caddie to be pushing gamesmanship to that point. But, if the US somehow rallies in the singles tomorrow, the amount of euro outrage and hand wringing about this will be delicious.
Do you think that’s what happened? I think Joe probably overdid it and should’ve apologized but I don’t think he was pulling anything.

A little surprised Rory is out that early. Europe looking for the early knockout obviously. Otherwise, nothing too unusual in those matchups.
Interesting. If US comes out strong there’s a lot of inexperience and softness at the end for Europe.
If US can get on a roll early, I think they could pull it off. Very surprised EU did not backload it with more of their big guys.
Donald is trying to end it early. He only needs 4 points and sent his big 3 out in the first 4 matches.
There is definitely a path if the US can win that opening block of 4 matches 3-1 or something.

I’m not. You don’t want the u.s. getting too much going early and give their back end any motivation
But if they do, the back end will start to believe and you’re left with just Lowry and Fleetwood as guys who are experienced. Luke Donald is smarter than I am, but just a bit surprised that a Rory/Hovland/Rahm wasn’t stashed in the back.
Tbh I don’t think Rory was mad about him there in the line but after Rory asks him to move the clip makes it seem like he mutters something to Rory before turning and shooting his mouth of to someone else. That was a bit much for a caddy. If a player tells you to move from either team, you move and don’t make yourself part of the story.
I think I agree with that. Didn’t think it was gamesmanship more like let himself get carried away and should’ve apologized and be done with it.
I think Donald got it right. Don’t worry about the what if scenario. Send the big guns out early and try to end it instead of holding them back to hedge against a red wave.
I think ZJ got it right too. They need to play a lot better but there is definitely a path.
Yeah I mean it almost doesn't matter how ZJ sent them out there because they're going to need everybody to do well. I actually thought he would front load it more than he did.
I thought this summed it up well;

I'm really coming around to a neutral party setting up the courses for this thing.
The Ryder Cup is supposed to be fun. Blowouts are anything but fun and really detrimental to the spirit of things.
So I’m wondering if similar to banning shifts in baseball, the ability to analyze this stuff is at such a high level that combined with formats you can really impact the balance.
Based on a quick look at one wagering site, the U.S. is favored in six matches, Europe in five (Rahm, Hovland, Rory, Hatton, Fleetwood), and the Lowry/Spieth match is pick 'em.
