Ryder Cup 2010

[MegaWatty]

Long live the king!

I think Europe have a great chance this year. They really sine some great young players coming through.

Rory, The M Brothers, Kaymer.

Haven't seen the final list yet, but I reckon they're more than a chance!!!

[Dcanto]

The only weak link in the European team might be Captain Colin Crankypants :lol:

[MegaWatty]

Hate the guy, but hope they get up.

[McMw]

No Padraig (prob), no Sergio - GOOD - these 2 were the problem last time out!!! :lol:

Do you reckon Tiger gets one of the Captain's Pick?
Pavin will be damned if he does, damned if he doesn't...OUCH!!!

Europe looks to have the stronger team on paper.
On the US side, I do look forward to seeing a foursome pairing of Bubba Watson and Zach Johnson...that would be a special combo!!!

[Hamo84]

I think Pavin would have to pick Tiger, he is world number one after all... and whilst he is playing crap golf atm you never know what he could do in this event.

I do agree that the Euro's appear to have the stronger team on paper, some other names like Westwood (if fit), Ross Fisher, Poulter and Casey could also be in the mix.

As for Colin Mongomerie, well he has a share of his own issues atm

[Dcanto]

That's always one of the interesting things for me - who the captains pair together in the foursomes and fourballs.

I still laugh at some of the pairings Hal Sutton put together some years ago.

8322

[MegaWatty]

Wales have put so much effort in for this as well. It's a true credit to them.

Although, all effort is wiped out after they didn't keep Julia Gillard for themselves! :)

[Yossarian]

I believe it may still be legal in certain English towns to kill a Welshman with a bow and arrow after sundown.

Send the bitch back home via England! :)

But seriously, Celtic Manor will be a great venue!

[Chris32]

Do any of you know if it will be on free to air TV

[mardo10]

Do any of you know if it will be on free to air TV


i doubt it ,but would be nice for us non fox users

[Daves]

I am trying to find the confirmations, but believe One HD will be providing regional TV coverage and the ABC will also be showing some of it.

Scratch the ABC, but definitely on One HD and not just regional either.

hope this is true Daves

[mardo10]

just checked that link daves ,looks good ,but will be keen to know what sort of coverage we get ,not just a highlights package or something

It's a big call the whole Ryder Cup is a big show, wives etc. How much is Tiger hated by the WAGS. Pavin and Lehman, mmmm, not exactly the live and let live guys, they are leading the bible study group, again I imagine Tiger is hardly their "bud".

All that said it's about money and TV ratings so he is first selected.

[TheTrueReview]

...

I thunk Europe have a great chance this year. They really sine some great young players coming through.

Rory, The M Brothers, Kaymer.

...

3 out of 4 majors this year were won by Euro tour players (albeit one is Sth African). Hopefully the Europeans will win 75% of the matches at the Ryder Cup also.

Add Bubba to the list of the Bible Bashers.

[Hamo84]

Euro Captains picks are E Molinari, Harrington and Donald. Justin ROse and P Casey miss out, the announcement was made mid round during the final round of the Barclays and with Casey and Harrington paired together made for an akward pairing between Harrington and Casey
http://livereport.pgatour.com/2010/08/29/awkward-pair-paddy-in-casey-out/

Monty has also announced Sergio Garcia as a fourth Vice Captain

[terrys]

I don't see how he picks Harrington over Casey.

[MegaWatty]

One person I wouldn't want anywhere near that place would be Sergio. Surely he can only bring bad luck. Watch for the Euro team to be missing 3 footers and have 6 footers coming back!!!

[TourFit]

I foresee a weather problem at the Ryder Cup...

...the location at that time of the year is unpredictable at best, with deep fog being a very common issue. So much time will be lost methinks !!!!

[McMw]

Harrington over Casey or Rose???
Harrington is Europe's version of Lefty...poor record at the Ryder Cup, but how could you not pick one of the better players???

It was pretty good viewing of the Molinari brothers in action this past Sunday (pity Rumford got done in)...

[terrys]

But at least Lefty has won a few tournaments the last few years. I'm afraid Harrington is just about done. He has never been near that 2008 form again. When was the last time he went really low? I can't recall anything out of the ordinary.

he hasn't gone really low - he did have a 63 or 64 in the Irish European Tour event, and was in the hunt (and was even leading at one stage) couple of weeks ago, but the stigma of those 8s on will stick with him for a while!!! :)

[raidrboy]

Dcanto, you got it in one mark an eagle on your card!!!

[Dcanto]

[SeldomEagles]

USA Captains picks just announced. Fowler Woods Cink and Johnson

[MegaWatty]

Not bad...

[razaar]

Has Pavin confirmed his team?

[Flavzz]

Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Rickie Fowler and Tiger..

[kpac]

Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Rickie Fowler and Tiger..

eh, i'd ditch fowler for the form that Charlie Hoffman has just shown.

[razaar]

Charlie wouldn't cut his hair?

[McMw]

as the TGC were talking about it last night, Cup is in 1 months time, and Hoff winning yesterday doesn't cut it...
If that was the reason, then why Cink and Fowler?

Guess that you can sit 4players out for 4 sessions, it doesn't matter...

[Webster]

Pavins missus is not the worst.....Blakey would love her...

[chappy1970]

Just a reminder everyone that ONE HD have the coverage starting at 5.30 pm this arvo.

[Goldy]

Set to record on the IQ box last night...

[TheTrueReview]

Does that mean the coverage will be total shite ? Suppose we'll find out tonight.

gee there's some size in there :shock: Rory looks like he'd get regripped quite often.

[chappy1970]

Martin Kaymer's cheese is very easy on the eye

[chappy1970]

Does anyone else think that Thomas Bjorn looks like the villian from the thunderbirds?

[razaar]

Luke Donald has a very high forehead (in the photo gallery); supposedly a sign of idealism (well his golf swing and putting stroke are).

Will be interested to see what Tiger putts with.
http://blogs.golf.com/equipment/2010/09/tiger-woods-ryder-cup-nike-method-putter.html

[Greeny]

I think the US have made an early mistake (excluding the Pavin/Cink gaffe) in leaving out Jim Juryk for the morning fourballs.
And they've thrown Bubba and Jeff Overton together to start fourballs! Rookies to start?!

[Flavzz]

a mallet too.. that would be a change for him..

[Greeny]

ha!

Juryk (with an F) has a dismal pairs record in the RC - couldn't win with Tiger and Mickleson. The yanks love and live by stats.

[sol381]

lmfao.. it is him. never seen that villain before but hes not a bad golfer.. also did jimenez bring his daughter along.. cant be his wife can it.

[Minor_Threat]

The course looks underwater.. Looks like it will be a long grinding day for the boys!

[MegaWatty]

Plenty of them with gloves on both hands. It looks like a bitch of a day!

[razaar]

Go the USA.

[aussieashley]

Weather is terrible. Rain delay.

[shavey]

Anybody see the footage on the news about the gala dinner for the Ryder Cup. All players and their partners were announced as they walked in with the exception of one :oops:

Poor old Tiger...

[chappy1970]

saw it, made me smile

[terrys]

He should have bought that Rachel chick. She smokes all of them.

[Pieface]

He should have bought that Rachel chick. She smokes pole.

Fixed!

[matty]

How bad are the conditions! Almost unplayable. Europeans going well early on.

[matty]

Play suspended. Water is all over the fairways. The wind is starting to gust pretty hard. Greenkeeping staff on every green brushing water off and it's only supposed to get heavier.

Scores

2UP Westwood & Kaymer over Mickelson & Johnson on the 5th

1UP McIlroy & McDowell over Cink & Kuchar on the 4th

1UP Poulter & Fisher over Stricker & Woods on the 3rd

2UP Watson & Overton over Donald & Harrington on the 2nd

[Daves]

The golf on Fox is only a replay Matty, it is not live. It was live on OneHD last night.

[matty]

:lol: I'll be quiet now.

Thought it was live. Makes sense now. Would be dark over there. See how doing a night shift stuffs your mind.:oops:

[LowTee]

Agreed about the weather, it was shocking. They are changing the format a bit for the next couple of days will go to Monday if they have to.
Hope that course is sand based!

[KristianJ]

Much more promising weather today, it seems. At least the sun's out. :)

[BrisVegas]

talk about oblivious! I didn't even realise this was on and just stumbled across it on 1HD. Score!

[AndyP]

How boring is it at times? The 18th hole is entertaining.

[MAZA68]

Go the USA.

The USA need to improve there fashion sense, those violet cardies were something my grandmother would wear!

[Courty]

The USA need to improve there fashion sense, those violet cardies were something my grandmother would wear!

I reckon they look like valets.

[KristianJ]

Add a tie and Ryan Moore would have felt right at home.

[Eag's]

Looks like rain may be on it's way again :(

[Greeny]

I've found the hole thing extremely captivating. Commentary is great and the crowd has been superb.

[Daves]

The crowds are absolutely brilliant, you can't buy or fake that sort of enthusiasm.

[LowTee]

The crowds are absolutely brilliant, you can't buy or fake that sort of enthusiasm.

Totally agree the atmosphere is fantastic but, the Americans outfits are shocking!!

[Bruce]

The replay this morning is shitting me.
10 mins of nothing but putts.

[grandmasterb]

Totally agree the atmosphere is fantastic but, the Americans outfits are shocking!!

I rate the yanks uniforms and it appears Im the only one haha

[Minor_Threat]

So when is it on live tonight? It appears 10:30pm one OneHD for me. Fox is saying Day 2 coverage is on at 5:30pm, I guess this is replays?

I also thought the yanks looked horrengous!

9.30 according to my guide but I'm guessing they'll go earlier under the circumstances MT. I hope so, anyway....

[Grunt]

Rain again

No play today until 12pm at earliest (10pm ESDT)

[Jarro]

I can't believe how badly Tiger is hitting it !!!

[PerryGroves]

I can't believe how badly Tiger is hitting it !!!

Cause he has been playing so well for the last 6 months? He has a poor Ryder Cup record, his bromance with Stricker is his only asset.

[Eag's]

I know it is raining, but they could at least be showing some golf not bloody cycling :roll:

[razaar]

I wonder how long Tiger is going to persist with this S&T concept. He looks to be all out of sorts and one confused puppy at the Ryder Cup. The Europens must be lining up to play him in the singles on his present form.

[TheTrueReview]

I wonder how long Tiger is going to persist with this S&T concept. ...

He's gone the stack & tilt Ray??

[Golfnut]

I can't believe how badly Tiger is hitting it !!!

Westwood is giving him a lesson or 2 ;)

[razaar]

He's gone the stack & tilt Ray??
He seems to be tinkering with it by some of the positions he is rehearsing after a wayward shot. Such as keeping more weight on the left side/leg and a steeper shoulder plane during the backswing. Similar fundamentals that Sean Foley incorporated into Mike Weir's swing. He seems to be focusing on eliminating that dipping and raising squat that he developed somewhere along the line. I would think that his goal is to forge a swing something like Hunter Mahan's (another in Foley's stable). It will be interesting to see what develops.

[McMw]

great job by the Europeans - but my goodness, how bad is F. Molinari putting (and he's spose to be the better player out of the 2 bros)...
It's a wonder that they're still coming down the 18th and with a small chance to win a 1/2 point...

[3oneday]

Every time I have turned 1hd on, it hasn't been on. What time is todays coverage starting ?

[Grunt]

Probably around 7pm

[Grunt]

Actually not at all on One tonight

Commonwealth games instead

[Daves]

On Fox 1 from 11.30pm. Not sure if that is Daylight savings time though?

[Grunt]

Looks as if it is EDST on the website.

[Daves]

Looks as if it is EDST on the website.

Seems so. So that will be 10.30pm Qld time.

[Daves]

Is Overton a Wanker or what! Bubba isn't much better!

[Greeny]

Yeah looks like FoxSports 1 have the Ryder Cup singles tonight as OneHD have the Commonwealth Games.
It's good the coverage just shifts to another station but a bummer for people without Pay TV.

I gotta say, this is one of the best tournaments I've ever watched. Matchplay is so much more interesting to watch and the golf has been brilliant.
F.Molinari's redemption on 18 was sensational, Woods was spanked and Jiminez's finish was sublime. I need sleep now before the singles!

[PerryGroves]

I can see Fox showing it at 11.30, they are talking about a 9.05am tee off which will be 7.05pm for us and whatever time it is in Qld.

[Minor_Threat]

What was the go with Overton and Watson going off. I can undertsand being pumped up, but how long does it last! haha

Agree with all on Overton . he is a non winner this year!!!!

Ovaltine and Bubba doing a Leyton was funny. They are characters, never know what they will do next.

You beat me to it. I can't stop laughing, there is always one in every crowd. Kinda like a "Where's Wally" moment.

Its an indian Cheech Marin!

[markTHEblake]

By the way, I have been completely perplexed by the strategies of some of these Fourballs. It seems that when both partners have a putt for an equal score, the closer one is often putting first, and I dont mean in situations where they are away but chose to play out of turn.

That is a contradiction of how I always played 4BBB, the hardest putt always goes first. I even saw on some occasions where the partner putted for a birdie when his partner had an outside Par putt, which is also odd.

[sms316]

Good to see another reason for why free to air channels shouldn't be permitted to buy the rights to sport.

[virge666]

Did anyone see Hanson's chip on 15 from the hazard yesterday...

Did anyone else notice how he grounded his club on the backswing... and they won with his up and down and they won by a shot . . .

[markTHEblake]

I saw that, I am not confident on my understanding of that rule though, the grass he touched was several inches above the ball?


anyways thats the beauty of matchplay, the armchair referees cant dob this time :-)

The club is not considered grounded until the grass would support the weight of the club. No penalty could be called.

[idgolfguy]

Nothing on Fox 1 except AFL. Who f...ing cares!

[Johnny Canuck]

Great photo Rod.

[markTHEblake]

You would think at this point its all eyes on McDowell/Mahan as going down to the wire as the deciding match.

[virge666]

And Tiger and Poulter are on fire !

[Steve57]

There is nothing in this!
Overton is now 2 up on Fisher after 14.

[Steve57]

Tiger is 8 under after 13 and 4 up!

[timah!]

What's the match score at?
Still pissed at the lack of TV coverage. All so we could see Aussie Male Gymnasts win. Ffs what garbage.

[idgolfguy]

Thanks gents - now watching it online. The NBC link is great.

[timah!]

Tiger is 8 under after 13 and 4 up!
Far out that's incredible.

Why is One HD playing Badminton.

Where's my golf!!!

[morgy]

Is anyone getting coverage on TV? WTF is the go with having the same broadcast on both channel 10 and one HD.... David Mott needs a slap in the face!

[Steve57]

Projected final score USA 13, Europe 15 looks very likely now.

[MegaWatty]

Why is One HD playing Badminton.

Where's my golf!!!

+1. Although, I'm coming down pretty hard right now after a huge couple of days to Sydney and back in 24 hrs with a GF and celebrations in between. Rooted! (Not Roostered).

[Steve57]

Bubba has just lost 4 & 3 to Jimenez.

[Steve57]

Mahan back to 2 down after 12.
He needs to win for the USA to tie.

[Steve57]

Tiger birdies 15 to get to 9 under and wins 5 & 3.

[Eag's]

Mcdowell feeling the pressure, he almost put that last one in the piss.

[markTHEblake]

Cant see Mcdowell losing 3 of the last 4 holes, this guy is nearly as cool as Jiminez

[bergsey]

Why is One HD playing Badminton.

Yeah... WTF is going on!

I have fox as well so have Comm games on 6 channels! cmon One HD get your sh*t together !!

Any posts that mention Ryder cup have been deleted. The members are creating new posts faster than they can be deleted.

Great up & down from Mcdowell :)

yeah about the same sort of contact as i have with a typical mid iron.

[MegaWatty]

One HD wakes up!

[morgy]

far out... they've got the golf going now... 12:35am! Sh!t thing is that I just started watching the live stream so i know what's going to happen!

One Huge Disappointment.

[senecio]

They have the golf on, but its delayed. WTF?

[morgy]

P.S everyone should e-mail David Mott and let him know how much of a W@NKER he is.

[simmsy]

is molinari choking or what?

[idgolfguy]

Fowler's putt, amazing!

how good is fowler!! what a putt to halve.

McDowel's in the box seat.

Talk about absolute pandemonium at the end there, half the crowd swarming the green :shock:

[McMw]

wat a last day...abs shows who's got the balls...
not that E.Mo played bad, but 3 birds in a row to halve the match by Fowler - WOW!!!

Kaymer and Fisher were dissapointing, and Rory got lucky!!!

Harrington - ur time's up!!! :(

Yep, a major disappointment. The Ryder Cup app on my iphone said the singles were under way. Raced home from a meeting only to find the Waste of Time (Commonwealth) Games from India on One HD.

[AndyP]

I bet you Commonwealth Games rates better than golf.

[Daves]

I bet you Commonwealth Games rates better than golf.

Has got nothing to do with it. The fta's abuse their position on sports telecasts. If they were not telecasting it you would be pretty sure Fox would. But because of our stupid anti syphoning laws they get away with letting us down time and time again.

[Onewood]

Who won the cup

[Daves]

Who won the cup

Europe 14 1/2 to 13 1/2. The result came down to the last match.

[3oneday]

And I didn't see a single stroke of it !

[Greeny]

Well I missed the final round as most of us did but until then this tournament was amazing. One of the best I've watched.
The rain and forced scheduling in October due to the FedEx Cup didn't help. I'm guessing OneHD were obligated to show Commonwealth Games before 12?

So they eventually played it but on delay?

[PeteyD]

Fell asleep when the badminton was on :( Stupid 1 HD wankers.

[Rod Morri]

Disgraceful performance from One HD and they missed one of the best golf events I can recall. Watched it on the lap top and could not walk away....that final two hours was as gripping as golf can be and proves match play is a far more entertaining format than stroke. Felt sorry for Mahan humiliating himself but the end result was the right one. The Europeans played the best golf of the week and deserved the win. If only the Presdients Cup at RM next year could be half as entertaining...

[Minor_Threat]

So any idea when the singles replay will be played. I have watched most of the first 3 days, but couldn't manage to stay awake for the singles.

[3oneday]

Fell asleep when the badminton was on :( Stupid 1 HD wankers.

why isn't it called shuttlecock ?

[PeteyD]

Because it makes the girlies giggle.

[simmsy]

great golf to watch, even had the missus watching it on the cpu and she can't stand golf.

TEN already had the Comm games on their standard channel so it should of been no problem to show the last day of the Ryder Cup. Great to see Europe win, how strong was McDowell coming down the stretch, do feel for Mahan though that was serious pressure.

Love MatchPlay!!!!!

[Minor_Threat]

FYI there is a 3 hour replay of the final day on Fox Sports 3 at 4:30pm this afternoon.

[IanO]

Very annoyed that they did not screen the last day of the Ryder Cup. According to the on screen timetable there was no screening going to happen.

[razaar]

Seeing as it actually finished a few hours before that, I think not.

[3oneday]

Raz thought it was live, that's all that matters :lol:

Checked the clock as I switched off the TV. I got up about 2.00am and McDowell/Maham match was on the 8th or 9th. I assumed it was live coverage.

[razaar]

Am I the only one silly enough to get out of bed and actually check that it was showing?;)

Nope. I would have happily done the same if I hadn't known they weren't showing it live and found an on line stream instead.

By the way Ray, did you enjoy it?

[Chris32]

I've recorded the whole thing on the PS3, looking forward to watching it over the coming days. From what I saw it was excellent to watch!

[McMw]

who were the commentators for your coverage (in Aus)?

we've got TGC, and we had the European broadcasters...from what I've been readin on-line, Miller was a PITA to hear?!?!?

[Chris32]

Not Miller, from what I saw anyway.

I heard Jay Townsend and a fella from the UK

[Eag's]

Miller was on the NBC live streaming, yes he was being his typical wanker self :roll:

[Jarro]

Highlights from the last days play are on FoxSports3 now !!!

I did Rod. Ricky Fowler was sensational on his last 3 holes. From 3 down he birdied the last three and squared the match. I can see why Pavin picked him.

I didn't see Tiger hit a shot in the 3 hours I watched it. He was 9under when his match finished on the 15th. He must have had a relaxing night beforehand. The US really lost it on the previous day when they only scored a half point to Europe's 5 points. It was a big ask to win from 3 points behind IMO. Pavin made some interesting pairings which I am sure he will be criticised for back home.

There was certainly some quality that bubbled to the surface in the cauldron of the last round. How good under pressure were Poulter, Donald, Jimenez and McDowell!, and I think McIlroy stepped up pretty well as well.

[matty]

It came right down to the wire. Was nerve-wracking watching the last pair. Mahan was a bit more nervous though!

[McMw]

b4 Mahan hit his duffer, there was a camera shot from his back, and the line from his ball to the hole was perfect - I was wondering (then) why not putt it???

[markTHEblake]

dunno what you were all complaining about, The TV Guides at Yourtv.com.au and on the interactive TV Screen were both showing that the Ryder cup was being broadcast on One HD from 11.30pm. I cant think why someone wouldnt look there?


But because of our stupid anti syphoning laws they get away with letting us down time and time again.

The Antisiphoning laws have been watered down a bit about 5 years ago or more, and and event such as the Ryder Cup would never have been including in the Anti siphoning list of events anyway, as it was never a significant sport.

I did, and at 11.30 was greeted with badminton.........finally came on about 12.15 with a 3.5 hr delayed replay

I think it was Jay Townsend and Renton Laidlaw. I thought they did a pretty good job from what I saw.
Disappointed that OneHD didn't show the singles matches live.

[Veefore]

Ryder cup was never included in the anti syphoning laws. It never used to be shown on FTA TV because no one wanted it.

One and ten were committed to the games. Not least because it rates much higher. At least we got the cup. :)


Btw, I heard Mcdonalds are introducing a new fat chip called the McMahan.

Agreed where the ball was you would think he would either putt it or bump and run

[razaar]

Not if he was trying to hole it.

[macjackass]

I haven't read the entire thread but how much of a tool is Jeff Overton?!?

[terrys]

Saw a quote on another forum where Miller said that if Phil couldn't chip, he'd be selling cars in San Diego somewhere. Hilarious.
