Regarding Phil for captain as I said in the post.

His swagger is exactly what is needed and they'll never consider it.


I don't think a lack of Richard measuring has been our downfall.

As others have said, the Euros' preparation, attention to detail, and dedication to make sure they do all the little things is the bigger issue. Not sure Phil is the guy for that, if for no other reason it takes a lot of time that he wouldn't be able to dedicate to it. And I'd say the same about Tiger.

There's a lot of reasons to criticize the US team but not leaning into LIV enough is the dumbest. The only LIV golfer who remotely deserved to be on this team is on it. And is currently getting his doors blown off for the 4th time.

The Euros took 1 more LIV guy than us. Because he was actually better than the other options.


Pat finished 7th this year on LIV and after his RC theatrics in years prior deserves to be on the team every year until he clearly can't compete anymore. He was our Poulter. Does anyone seriously want Sam Burns or Harris English over him? (yes I know English made it on 'stats')

Pat is a cancer
He's only getting on another team without winning a major and getting in on points.

We can't talk about Europes culture and how they all seem to like playing together, then add a player that would be on the bottom end of the 12 in terms of talent that nobody wants to play with.

Reed's Ryder Cup reputation mainly comes from 2014, which is a long time ago. He last played in 2018 and went 1-2. And is generally despised by everyone. I don't think finishing 7th on LiV remotely overcomes the baggage he brings. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Agree, but Zinger isn't the guy

Big John Daly is available!

All this talk about future captains and all, from what I've read it sounds like Furyk is the guy who is into the prep and data and all, why not him? Seems like a guy who would embrace and own it.

Not a well liked guy by many, but maybe that's what we need. Who knows - the US team has been a mess more years than it has not.

Cancer to who? Who on this current roster would be triggered by him?

Oh wait, he gives a **** and wants to beat the **** out of the Euros regardless of money. You're right, he isn't the man for the job.

For assistants, maybe think way outside the box. Engineers from Titleist, etc. keep data on everything. Bring in one of the equipment manufacturer's data guys and with precise goals of where our advantages lie and how to maximize a course for it (for when it's at home).

Following the American loss, Reed gave an interview to The New York Times where he strongly voiced his frustrations.
He stated he felt "blindsided" and that "the issue's obviously with Jordan not wanting to play with me".
He also claimed that he had to suppress his ego during the post-tournament press conference, saying, "I was looking at [Jordan] like I was about to light the room up like Phil [Mickelson in 2014]".
Other unnamed sources close to the team reported that Reed had previously mocked Spieth by saying he had "carried" him in their past victories.

This is Schefflers 5th match and who knows how many practice rounds before that. What on earth are we looking at in the yardage book from the tee box??

It would be so funny if the US forced a 14-14 tie

By far the funniest possible outcome

Is Jordan on this year's team? And was Reed wrong? Or are you just upset he spoke publicly about it?

"other unnamed sources"... Yes because the NYT has proven to be so accurate with their sources and never have pushed agendas others want them to push.

You're either being disingenuous or truly don't know that virtually everyone in professional golf can't stand that guy and want nothing to do with him (with going to the press to complain after the last Ryder Cup being the death knell for any future captain's picks). Under either scenario, there's no point arguing with you over it any more. Particularly since it's getting slightly interesting.

I'll never understand how Thomas (and so many US guys) can miss low on putt to tie a hole

Actually, he could have had he paired up with either them.

But I digress. We can all move on. Back to the golf and golfers playing today.
