2008 Ryder Cup

[SLIGONIAN]

I love the Ryder Cup, and certainly feel like Europe are my team. I don't like Faldo, but I don't think he did a whole lot wrong over the 3 days. The US won because they holed the most putts over the course of the competition.

Interesting scoring stats from the singles:

Weekley -8
Kim -7
Perry - 7
Rose -6
McDowell -5
Poulter -5
Curtis -5
Karlsson -4
Westwood -4
Mahan -4
Wilson -4
Furyk -3
Mickelson -3
Holmes -2
Stenson -2
Stricker -2
Casey -2
Cink -1
Hansen Ev
Jiminez Ev
Leonard +1
Campbell +2
Garcia +2
Harrington +5

And dont forget alot of them scores were after only 15 holes , wow. If Harrinton was playing weekly it would of been match over after 10 holes.

Some of the US stroke scores on your list are phenomenal. Not bad from McDowell either. He seemed to acquit himself well over the weekend and if he can maintain some form could be a future banker for the Europe team.

Just the way I feel, don't lose the oul head there.   

But it ok to tell screenexile to  "wise up"?

[screenexile]

Ah sure I'm well used to him... what else would you expect from a pig but a grunt!?

I said beforehand to watch out for Kim and Mahan and they proved the difference, incredible debuts. Kim is hateful mid you.

A good point well made Deel,interesting interview from Fat Monty earlier,he got ripped into Faldo for playing his stronger players at the end when the match was over. The Ryder Cup has only been decided by 12th player in singles once, in '91 when Hale Irwin played Langer.

Except Harrington was actually the weakest player.

Just want to saw fair play to Poulter for theway he played. The point still stands though that Faldo is a cnut. Obviously Poulter was picked early and told it was ok to go off to the US and go for the dough when he could have qualified by right for the team. I son't think that's right. With such a dope as captain someone like Clarke was needed to gee the lads up but obviously Faldo wouldn't have him next nigh or near it. That was his call but like his singles lineup it contributed to the defeat in my book. Fair play to the yanks. More up for it and better captaincy and even though I wouldn't approve of some of their messing they fully deserved to win.
