I hope to never see Burns on the Ryder Cup team again. You always hear about his putting prowess, but you never see it.

Lowry will be fighting someone before this is over

Have the best wedge players in the world on our team and we just completely take wedges out of their hand after the first two holes
So much for home team setting up the course properly

Yep. Euro team has a bunch of guys who look like they like to drink and kick butts. Just a tougher group of guys.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Fat Pat Reed would have clawed out 1.5 points by now. And he wouldn't have given 2 ****s about $500k

The only real home team advantage is in Europe. All their players play here on a regular basis, where our guys rarely play in Europe on those types of course setups(slower greens, thicker rough, emphasis on long irons, etc).

"Pay it back" chants need to start.

How in the **** are they completely missing the hole altogether on these putts?

Actually Patrick Reed and Max Homa would have really improved the ball striking of this team;

Brian Harman would have been a better captains pick than some of these guys.

But they set that course up for their strength. They were better approach from 175-200, Max Homa talked about it on the pod last night how it was insane how many holes he had something like 187. All the shorter holes they basically made drivable to keep our wedges out of it.
We did nothing in this set up to make set it to our advantage. We cut the rough, but we aren't the bomber team anymore.

We did zero research and don't use statistics. It's lazy. The shorter rough has helped them more than us

I agree, but what exactly was our strengths this year compared to the Euro's?

Shorter approaches and around the green probably. Only thing we could've done around the green is make this place firmer so that you couldn't go at every pin and force tougher up and downs for bad shots, but the rain wouldn't have let that happen. This place being a birdie fest hurts more of our guys than their's.

I would have thought the wedge game was an advantage for us, but the Euro's have out performed us in that category.

There aren't that many approaches with wedges on this course. Check out the approach distribution. After the first couple holes, you don't have any wedge opportunities until 18. Only thing that throws off the visual is #13 showing as a wedge opportunity but it's a par 5. https://datagolf.com/ryder-cup/insights

Honestly I hate crowd bull**** when a player is over the ball. Typical NY meatheads. Sorry but you're culture actually sucks

I should have said short approaches(150 and in).
aggiegolfer2012
How long do you want to ignore this user?
After #2, there are only two approaches inside of 150, and one of those is #18 so chances are you won't play it.

Yeah, that seems like poor course setup by the US.

He would probably have another win had they paired him with Young yesterday morning.

Our guys grow up being trained to not get too high or low and all the announcers are like" you never know if he's in the lead or behind he stays so calm. " they praise that emotionless behavior and then they can't flip a switch for the Ryder Cup.

Do you think Burns will make enough putts to equal 50% the times an announcer has said he's the best putter in the world?
