Rory starting poorly

4 down after 4! Both playing rubbish.

5 down after 5. Terrible putting from Rory.

Jesus it's brutal!!

[mouview]

Easy to say in hindsight, but selecting an indifferent putter like Rory in alternate balls is not a good idea.

[yellowcard]

Rory having a nightmare, that match is over after 5 holes.

Someone should tell Rory that his customary opening round meltdown isn't going to be a pressure reliever at the Ryder Cup.

Poulter and McIlroy starting to look like golfers again. Rory might not get hooked for the afternoon after all.

Goin for an early lunch and afternoon off I'm afraid

Ouch! American analyst on BBC Radio.  "McIlroy has not played well and Poulter...well I think his time has gone...he's had a great run"

[Pub Bore]

Hard to tell what Harrington does with McIlroy...I'd prob sit him out in the fourballs.  FFS he shouldn't put Poulter out again until no 12 in the singles.

When do they announce the next pairings?

I always thought it was during the end of the morning session

[Boycey]

Hope Rory doesn't hold Lowry back too much

18:42 BST: Finau/English vs McIlroy/Lowry

Surprised the US changed up some of their teams

[An Watcher]

OK in hindsight but should Fleetwood have played this morn

[GAABoardMod5]

Small bit of housekeeping there with a ban as well.

Carry on.
