Well said.

Harrington out with McDowell this afternoon against the same bucks. Hopefully Kim plays as shit again.

The best Europe can hope for is 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 down but more likely it'll be 3 to 1 down

[AZOffaly]

Poulter and Rose sh1te themselves and lose to Cink and Campbell, with a 6 on the 18th!.

Garcia and Westwood down 1 with 1 to play. The best it can be is 3-1!

[AZOffaly]

Harrington and MacDowell out in a big game now. 4 balls mean you have to play well on holes your partner isn't. Hopefully Kim will play as badly as in the morning, and McDowell and Harrington can dovetail to pick up the point.

4 balls lets your partner attack more if you can be steady - both sets of lads have players who can do both - this top game could be a cracker, have to fancy the yanks as Mick looks so much more into it without tiger around.

[AZOffaly]

Yeah. The first shot each time around is vital. If you hit the centre of the green, your partner can attack the pin. But there is the safety valve of your partner if you scutter one into the drain. In the foursomes, your partner suffers the effects of your bad shots more often.

[AZOffaly]

That could be a big half point for Europe. It looked like Garcia was going to lose his first foursomes, but came back from dormy 2 to tie it. 3-1 after foursomes. The blues need a rally this evening.

[Main Street]

That Rose and Poulter effort at the 18th looked sloppy and costly.
But I know féck all about golf.

Harrington has the composure of a team leader and looks to be in his element out there, he knows what this is all about.
Apart from all those  "this is what the Ryder cup is all about" comments this is interesting to follow, at least until the minor match match starts on Sunday

Did anyone else see the 2 bucks wearing the Carlow jerseys? The eyes nearly popped out of my head.

What the f**k is faldo at? sergio and westwood left out with both sessions needing won to stay in contention.

1305 Stewart Cink/Chad Campbell v Ian Poulter/Justin Rose
1320 Justin Leonard/Hunter Mahan v MA Jimenez/Graeme McDowell
1335 Phil Mickelson/Anthony Kim v Henrik Stenson/Oliver Wilson
1350 Jim Furyk/Kenny Perry v Padraig Harrington/Robert Karlsson

Stenson and particularly karlsson have just not got it done.

with the team needing momentum i'd have put harry & sergio out first followed by westwood & Rose. potentially you could be looking at 5&1/2 to 4&1/2 with two tight matches coming down the straight
