Ryder Cup Team

[Jbouton2]

Wondering how team chemistry will play out. Seems to be our downside each year. I'm leary of Koepka and Dechambeau. Both good players no doubt. But maybe Na or someone else would help us more.

The Europeans seem to rise to the occasion and make every putt needed. USA on paper has a great team, but goes out and underachieves.

Europe seems to play more as a team rather than a collection of individuals.

 

[Carolina Doc]

Europe will probably whip us again. But maybe Brooksie and Bryson will entertain us.

How do golfers play as a team?

They match up the players' skill sets and personalities better in the Fourball and Foursome two-person team part of the tournament.

That makes sense. I wasn't aware of the format.

Also, Europeans grew up playing more match play than US players. But that is changing thanks to PGA Jr League. Getting kids started out in Match Play from the start will be a big help down the road.

I thought Koepka was injured and out of it.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

I thought Koepka was injured and out of it.

He w/d from the 3rd round of the Tour Championship after jamming his wrist when he hit a root of a tree, but I would imagine that will be fine in another 2 weeks.

No, he played in the FedEx championship.

 

[Carolina Doc]

I think they made a mistake not placing Patrick Reed on the team.

The US team do not like each other. the Europeans go out Drinking together, the Americans go straight to their rooms.

Reed is injured.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

Reed is injured.

Since when? I know he had pneumonia, but he's recovered. He just played in the Tour Championship this weekend.

How do you know this?

How do YOU NOT know this!!?? perfect Example Dechambeau and Koepka. name two Europeans that just DO NOT like each other??

I don't watch golf.

NICE

Isn't he another prickly personality that doesn't play well with others? Why would you put 3 such personalities on the same team....DeChambeau, Koepka and Reed together may self-destruct.

I guess that makes for great television.

Yes, he’s been known to upset some people. But he is a heckuva player and probably one of the best n the game around the greens.

 

[king ward]

No, he played in the FedEx championship.

He got injured in third round of the Tour Championship and withdrew.

I get where you're going King, but basically the same thing. The Tour Championship was the last leg of the Fed Ex.

Not a bad Ryder Cup record, especially paired with Speith.

Yes, and when they rename the event, I'll have to acknowledge the change.

Roy McAvoy and Happy Gilmore would’ve helped this team!

McAvoy is NUTS! I wouldn’t have him on my team.
