Fat Pat came up big today

Ordinarily, I am not a fan of Fat Pat at all, but he is absolutely perfect for Ryder Cup/President's Cup competitions.

[Hire Sather]

I'd almost think those matchups were planned with each other.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Europe... that's a front-loaded lineup if I've ever seen it.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Also, Chris Wood is going to be having nightmares tonight.

 

[542365]

Reed played great today, but he's going to get destroyed tomorrow by Rory. I think he would be lucky to see #16.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Guys how do they decide who plays who, random draw or the captains agree?


Ryan Moore vs Westwood LOL

Random draw, but captains almost always do the same thing. Best players at the front, a few very experienced players at the back, worst players in the middle.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Clarke obviously had no choice with some of his picks though since its not that close. He had to put his best 6 at the front, worst six at the back. DLIII did what most captains do when its close.

 

[Halladay]

They had a 4 point lead in 2012...

 

[Dr John Carlson]

They also didn't have Jesus Patty 4 years ago.

 

[Cody Webster]

How about Ryan Moore vs. Lee Westwood tomorrow? First to break 80 wins.

Was this a guess or do Clarke and DLIII read HF?

Guess, but its not really a surprise where they are in the lineup for each team.

 

[joe89]

Reed = McIlroy
Spieth < Stenson
Holmes < Pieters
Fowler < Rose
Walker < Cabrera Bello
Mickelson < Garcia
Moore > Westwood
Snedeker > Sullivan
Dustin > Wood
Koepka > Willett
Kuchar < Kaymer
Zach < Fitzpatrick

That's basically how I think it needs to play out for Europe to have a chance. First matches have to do heavy work.

 

[joe89]

Two great par saves to start it off. That match will be fire.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]
