2 of them seemed to get on pretty well any time i seen them paired,actually very well.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

both are in great form as well

[Sidney]

Proud moment for Sidney there hearing the European anthem.

Although I didn't see the opening ceremony, I know the playing of Ode To Joy would have filled me with patriotic continental pride.

Sadly I can't say the same for Paul McGinley's captaincy.

I fear for my beloved Europe.

Was going to back the yanks with all the talk of them being big outsiders. I see they're 13/8 and in my opinion that probably is a bit bigger than they should be as i think its pretty 50/50. At the same time 13/8 isn't much of a price to get excited about over a whole weekends play so backed Fowler for top points scorer,just put peanuts on mind you.

Bubba could be a key player,if he's at his best he'll be breathtaking,if he isn't he'll be acting like a spoilt child and whinging about everything and will do team morale no good whatsoever.

Had a great day at Gleneagles today. Could get really close to players, and watching the celebrity pro-am was fun. It's some set up!

I just think it's overloading one partnership. If they lose it's a big boost for the yanks.

The closer this comes I don't like the vibe of McGinely as captain or Europe in general. A wee bit overconfident.

That's a great show on Sky 1 now

[Kidder81]

Think the yanks will turn Europe over

[Olly]

Just as an aside, my mother said I was named after Olly Olazabal. She said I was conceived the moment he putted the winner in the 1986 Ebel European Masters Swiss Open, beating Anders Forsbrand by 4 shots. He scored 66-66-66 in his last three rounds which she also attributes to a tenancy towards evil from the ages of 3-5. SHe said I purposely murdered 4 pets.

Bubba/Simpson vs Rose/Stenson - USA Win

Spieth/Reed vs Gallacher/Poulter - USA Win
Bradley/Mickelson vs McIlroy/Garcia - Europe Win

[muppet]

Bubba/Simpson vs Rose/Stenson - USA Win
Fowler/Walker vs Bjorn/Kaymer - USA Win
Spieth/Reed vs Gallacher/Poulter - USA Win
Bradley/Mickelson vs McIlroy/Garcia - Europe Win

The USA typically win the foursomes but looking at the top and bottom groups I could see 2.5/1.5 (USA) or 2/2 by lunch. It will be interesting to see can Poulter find his Ryder Cup form on demand, again.

Yeah. I'm not sure you can turn it on and off like a tap, though he did last time in fairness.
