Said it yesterday, JT/Bryson was a mistake.
If you were going for the vibes pairing, you do it this afternoon in fourball. Would've been fun as hell to see those two go try and make a bunch of birdies. But also don't know behind the scenes how many options there are with Bryson and the golf ball.

JT and Cam play the same ball as Bryson


Not sure if JT does, but I think Cam and Bryson's are very similar if not the same, both are some sort of very spinny prototype ProV

Ball didn't matter as much this morning though. Announcers said, along with lift/clean/place, they were able to change the ball if they wanted

Obviously, we need to hit the fairway to do that, which we didn't do much of

JT was hitting everything and putting like a blind person; his partner didn't matter this morning.

The other problem is, if you look at all 24 players and said "pick your 12 for a ryder cup style event" I'm picking Scottie, Bryson & 6 Euros. I'd probably end up taking Xander over Fitzpatrick but I'd think about it for a while.

Cam Young approach game pretty rough, think that was the reason why.
I dont think JT plays that ball

The US Ryder Cup team needs to be changed in how they select players. Ryder Cup points shouldn't start until the year of the Cup. Cut down on captains picks to maybe 1. That would cut down on the boys club crap and you would get the guys playing the best that year. Tell the players to take their input and shove it.

I don't know the rankings if you just picked from 2025 results.

But if you went straight points, you would kick Cam Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns off the team. They would be replaced by Mav McNealy, Keegan and Brian Harman.

It would be really close. Only thing that counts from 2024 is the majors.

imo it should be a pure merit system based upon the current year's results with an emphasis on the 3 months leading up to the Ryder Cup.

I'm going
Bryson/Young
Xander/Cantlay
Scottie/Spaun
JT/Griffin

I know sending JT out will draw some eye rolls, but I didn't want him out there in 4somes anyway. I also want Griffin on the course and it seems like JT is his partner, and I'm also good sitting Burns all day.

I've been watching on tape delay and almost caught up.

I feel like we had two buckets of players with questionable outlooks this weekend. Some experienced guys who weren't in good form and some inexperienced guys in form.

We went with the first bucket this morning and wow was it bad. JT, Morikawa and English don't need to see the course again until singles. The course is setup to make birdies and those guys aren't playing nearly well enough to make them in bunches.

The slight silver lining is our guys who have been playing good golf the last couple months are off this afternoon. I think all four guys who sat this morning are capable of taking it low. Alot of pressure on them though, because if we get wiped this afternoon too, it's bleak. But whoever plays well this afternoon should be prepped to play 36 tomorrow.

Last group is falling apart. We're gonna get swept this morning. Whole weekend will be over by noon

I was raked over the coals weeks ago when I said that it would be a mistake to have jt on the team. He has not been a clutch player in years. He has the most talent but he is a mental trainwreck. That is not what we need in this event. He did not hit too many decent shots today. His putting has been horrible and it was again today.

Replace JT with Burns and I'm game.

JT has to sit for the afternoon round.

Trump arriving now.

Gives "halkftime speech" ahead of the afternoon Four-Ball.

The American comeback is underway.

Run Cantlay out first so he creates hold-up havoc and maybe that will frustrate the Euros.

Ha can't catch a break. Euros would have a really tough stance there except Bobby Mac is a lefty.

I've thought pairing Cantlay with Rory could fun.

I disagree. I think he should've sat this morning. I had him chalked as only a 4ball player, he's too volatile for foursomes. Keegan wanted to go for this hype group to kick it off and that was a mistake.

Format doesn't matter right now; he is struggling with his game and in a pressure cooker like the Ryder Cup, you won't be useful against this competition

Listening to Colt Knost on the radio.

They said in the three massacres, USA won a total of four holes.

If my math is correct, we won 4 out of 44 holes. Gross.

Format matters, a lot. The same team that lost foursomes 7-1 last year won the fourball matches.

Final match tied. if the US doesn't get a full point here just shut it down. Go spend the weekend in the city and catch a play on Broadway. FFS.
