It's a blind draw. I'm guessing Rory will be somewhere in the middle.

On second thought, I would think he's closer to the end. Probably want him in the Cup clinching area.

Sergio is such a grinder in the Ryder Cup. Deservedly carries on a fine Spanish tradition

NBC is commercializing the absolute shit out of this event. Jesus. This is worse than the NFL. And at least the NFL has actual play stoppages and a halftime.

I was just in the car for awhile and the female correspondent was very upset with the gallery for cheering missed putts by the Europeans before the putt was finished.

Is that really bad form?

Not for a Ryder Cup. There have been a few bad apples in the crowd yelling inappropriate things at Rory and Sergio in particular, but they've apparently been taken care of.

Someone told Rory to suck a dick. Rory finally called over an official and had him kicked out. That's bush league to say something like that to Rory.

Yep, no need for any of that.
Agreed. I think the good-natured stuff ("Hey Sergio, maybe you should win a major!") is fun, and overall I enjoy watching the way the players interact with the crowd so much differently during the Ryder Cup.

But when it devolves into stuff like "suck a dick", well, I'm glad the gentleman got escorted from the premises.

NBC's coverage is pretty atrocious. They really aren't focusing on the importance of specific shots. It's awful. No sense of drama.

I paused my feed to do some stuff so I'm like half an hour behind, the latest few posts intrigue me.

Would like to see more of the Holmes/Moore match. Nice rally here by DJ and Brooks, but the Holmes/Moore one is the swing match for the session.

Completely agreed. I said that earlier. At least Brooks and DJ are putting the pressure on Rory and Pieters.
