Momentum does not necessarily carry over from one day to the next in any sport. If momentum meant anything then the USA would have been flying now too. I look at it as USA played well in the morning and Europe played like it should have in the afternoon. They weren't going away by any means. After the morning rounds I'd have signed up for a split knowing EU had to play better. 1-3 is not great, but taking a 5-3 lead into Saturday is fine by me.We would all likely have taken a 5-3 result before the day started. However, an afternoon collapse by the Americans gives Europe the momentum going into tomorrow. Going to need Jordan/Reed to turn things around soon for any hope of a 2-2 afternoon
He missed, obvi.Holmes has 12-15 feet for birdie. He'll miss.
USA led 5-3 after Friday at Medinah and 6-4 after the first two sessions at Celtic Manor. I mean, it's better than being down, but it's really not any kind of reassuring cushion.Momentum does not necessarily carry over from one day to the next in any sport.

No it's not and that's why it would be nice if Spieth/Reed could turn things around.USA led 5-3 after Friday at Medinah and 6-4 after the first two sessions at Celtic Manor. I mean, it's better than being down, but it's really not any kind of reassuring cushion.
yup.Today going against Chamblee's whole leadership argument...whoever makes the putts wins. It's really that simple
I think that's a reasonable line up based on what we've seen today.Saturday pairings?
Spieth/Reed
Phil/Fowler
Sned/Koepka
DJ/Walker
I think they're doing pods. I don't think DJ and Walker are playing together. I'll be surprised if any of the teams are changed tomorrow morning. I'm guessing the question is which of Phil/Rickie, Sneds/Koepka, and ZJ/Walker sits first.Saturday pairings?
Spieth/Reed
Phil/Fowler
Sned/Koepka
DJ/Walker
I imagine they will be, too. And TGC/NBC will be all doom and gloom, which will get old fast. Dammit.Looks like 5-3, tough to be disappointed in that, but I'm disappointed.
That's as disappointing as the afternoon results. 4 shitty matchesThis afternoon session has been pretty unwatchable. No matches have been interesting.
Why break up the team w/Koepka?You gotta roll Sneds out tomorrow morning with how hot his putter is. Maybe with DJ?
Because it feels weird to sit DJ, and he was a smokeshow this morning in foursomes. I'm not really making much of a case for it - I just think you need to have your best putter from day 1out there in the morning session, and Snedeker was just unreal today. Cuter looked bad - though DJ did too, this afternoon. Maybe keep these guys together and sit the DJ/Kuch team. I guess I'm overthinking?Why break up the team w/Koepka?
So he went with DJ and Kooch. I think that makes sense. They'll be back in the afternoon in place of whichever team performs worst tomorrow morning.I think they're doing pods. I don't think DJ and Walker are playing together. I'll be surprised if any of the teams are changed tomorrow morning.

I love that the cut to NBC and show baseball highlights. If I wanted to watch baseball highlights, I'd watch MLB or Sportscenter. I'm here to watch the Ryder Cup now.How did they not show the drives off of 2? Makes no sense.
Edit:Maybe limited in what they can show since the official broadcast starts at 9 on NBC.

Have fun my friend.Posted up in the 16th bleachers, we were here when the gates opened. It's like a giant viewing party here with the video board and I can see the 17th green from my seat. I'm settled in for a long day.
