    Anyone see the Holmes/Weekley vs Westwood/Hansen 4 ball, Watching the yanks blast the ball off the tee compared to their timid opponents (relative to the bigboy tour) was like watching men play women.

    Good result for the Euro's in that match. I can honestly say that every time I watch a US team event I dislike them more and more. Watching Weekley inciting the crowd was a joke. What ever gets them going I suppose

    I hope the Euro's can get up.

    Sons of bitches at Ten switched over to Ten HD at 8:30. I didn't get to see the end of the Weekly match.

    Well Harrington and Garcia got smashed. I think they won a point and half between them for the whole weekend. There's the result in a nutshell.

    Having witnessed first hand the bad sportmanship that yanks display
    at this years Masters I totally agree. The single worst example was when
    Immelmans double at 16 was posted on the scoreboard at 18 they were
    hooting and hollering and go Tigering. Lost the last shred of respect right
    there and then.


    the U S A!! U S A! chant had me going for the mute button over the weekend.
    I'm back.

    I thought the Europeans had a weak team, but sadly they had no one stronger to pick either !

    McDowell looked like he was choking over every putt ! and who the **** is Oliver Wilson ?

    The Yanks seemed to have more team spirit, even though the commentators pointed out they had their own names on their hats whilst the Europeans had team europe !

    there was a bit of that negative hollering going on in the nrl thread on saturday night!

    I'm all for barracking positively for your team/guy or whatever, but I don't think much of people who go to the trouble to put shit on someone when they're down. When I was in school, if we were caught booing or cheering another team's misfortune we'd have got a belting. Etiquette is something the american galleries don't seem to get.

    It's obviously rife everywhere though. When my daughter lost her Under 10's GF the other team carried on and called them losers !

    Mind you, their coach got sent off for intimidating the ref also. If it happens in kids it would be because they are good copiers

    I have expressed my opinion of the Yanks and that will remain for eternity but there was some pretty spectacular golf played by both sides.

    And can that JB Holmes let some shaft out (golf shaft that is). He bombs it.

    You see it here at the football and stuff too. Booing when the opposition is kicking for goal and that sort of thing. No different.

    Exactly - it is awesome stuff to watch. I hate the Seppos as much as anyone - but they played sensational golf today.

    Kenny Perry and Anthony Kim were unstoppable.

    When it all comes down to it - I just saw the Euro's unable to read the speed of the greens. They both hhit the ball at pins all day, but did not sink the putts.

    Great to watch though

    Even the way Channel 10 flogged it with ads on the final day?

    And for a change, instead of biased yankee commentators we had biased European ones.

    Plus Ch 10 had the closing ceremony in their schedule but never showed it.

    It was good coverage, right up until 8:31am each day when channel 10 dropped the coverage on SD to resume their regular programming.

    Poor form.
