Who do you think will win?
As seems to always be the case, the Americans look strong but can they get a result away from home?
I'm going for Europe by 3 points even though we've an older team.
-
Don't care who plays as long as it is a win for Europe.
-
Europe to win 28-0, Brexit cancelled. Everyone's a winner.
-
Well apart from Tiger and Boris!
-
I was disappointed to hear booing aimed at the Americans on the first tee, for the first match. That's the sort of boorish behaviour we come to expect across the pond and makes any European victory a moral one as well. I'm hoping that we don't hear it again.
-
Agreed, no need.
Sounds like a decent fightback so far, Americans look likely to win one match but the other three could go either way. We were miles back in the one of them so doing well to be level.
-
All going wrong now.
-
At least we won the last one of the morning. Three-one down.
-
Poor performance from most of our players this morning. USA were merely average but we gifted them so much.
-
Internet poor at work so can't bloody watch it. Doesn't look good so far.

Can be easily turned around this afternoon, but I think the Americans are looking strong. Really don't fancy the European chances in the singles on Sunday, so really need to build a decent lead by the end of play tomorrow.

Haven't heard anything like that since thankfully.
Europe staging a great fight back now, but it's still the first 9. Nice to see Sergio clenching his fist again. The ebb and flow of this sort of format is brilliant and utterly engaging.
-
Crikey, well up in all 4. I think we've got the same format tomorrow? I'd prefer foursomes again in the morning and keep them on the rack.
-
First time ever clean sweep in the foursomes for Europe. Great stuff
-
Great turnaround in the afternoon though!
Furyk playing Mickleson and Bubba in the foursomes format was a staggering decision.
-
Eeeuuuuurrroooope!
-
Wonderful performance this afternoon by Europe.
-
Jim Furyk is going to get a lot of criticism and rightly so.
Watson, and especially Mickleson being picked to play foursomes is perhaps the most unfathomable decision a ryder cup captain had ever taken.

In the presser Furyk was asked about it and said he'd happily do the same thing again. Bet he doesn't though.

Poor from the crowd again this morning. Ewan Murray "The Americans are our guests and we don't treat guests like that"
All the momentum is with Europe but it can change quickly. I fancy 9-7 to the home side by 5pm.
-
Great start this morning won three and down by one in the final pairings.
-
Foursomes pairings are out. So no Mickelson at all today. Hardly surprising - he was utter mince yesterday.
-
Panicking now.
-
Molinari pissed it all on his own .
-
Easy in the end. Mad to think that Tiger Woods has been in about fifty Ryder Cups but he is still only one ahead of me in the number of times he's been on the winning team.

And you haven't even been trying!

Just then at 10 and half nine and half it was looking worryingly close but.....
-
Superb birdie putt by Noren to finish the match. Molinari 5/5 top player, Olesen performance of the day beating Spieth 5 and 4, but overall brilliant team performance with everyone contributing to the final points total.

Once I work out how to get the ball past the little windmill, there will be no stopping me.

It should come as no surprise that he's not much of a team player.

Can I just point out that there is something very punchable about Hatton but I am not sure why.
-
Mickelson continues his 2018 quest to be the biggest cock in golf - moaning about the Ryder Cup course being too hard...No Phil, like 10 other team mates you were too arrogant to come over and play the French Open and try the course! Seems he doesn’t want a course where wayward drives (like most of his!) are punished...plank!
Threw Tom Watson under the bus 4yrs ago at Ryder Cup, the petulant cheating hitting the moving ball earlier this year now these stupid comments...hopefully he will get captain next time for Europe’s sake.
