It's quite funny really. He once had a go at me for suggesting that Barcelona players dived during the Champions League semi final. The penalty incident that followed was hilarious. Looked like a Fabregas DIVE if I remember correctly?
Oh and for the record, I don't really care about Bubba's antics. It's funnier to laugh at Snedeker given his comments in the week and then his singles result today (I think his brain was beaten in).

Amazing result. I only saw bits over the 3 days but a couple of observations...
Where the American crowd really booing the European players?
Ian Poulter, captain of the future?

The far too many rofl on Brandt Schnedeker getting beaten. Absurd.
Plus the Watson stuff was old news.
Plus Salford...... carries on for 2 more pages......

No, just cheering bad shots. It was a bit OTT. Even Jack Nicklaus' wfe said she was bit embarrased by it.
It wasn't bad today, in fairness, from what you could pick up on TV.
Poulter could well be captain one day but a good 3 or 4 names head of him at present.....plus he's likely to make the next 3-4 events too, you would think

I remember Faldo picked Poulter in 2008 there was a bit of uproar. Fast forward four years and he is a Ryder Cup legend in the making

Given his comments I found it funny.
Wanderer Paul mentioned it and I asked a QUESTION. Big crime there.

I became a bit obsessed with Jason Duffner .He didn't smile once the whole weekend, and looked like he didn't really know what was going on.
Does anyone know if he's autistic or something?

There speaks a man who has backed him a lot.
Westwood simply doesn't putt well enough at the moment.
The USA team look thoroughly embarrased.

Brilliant just seen him walking out for the closing ceremony looking like he didn't have a clue why he was waking along in a line with other people.

lol.....
I'm watching the ceremony and, like you, keep watching him. He never shows emotion. In fact he doesnt even look like a player. Phenomenal ball striker with a desperately bad putting stroke over a short distance. Great speech by Davis Love, feel for him.

I only picked up on Bubba Watson from today. As he did his "stuff" on the first tee in the first singles match of the day v Poulter. Not seen it previously.

There speaks the man that said kaymer was going to cost Europe the Ryder cup just before he won it for Europe............... Quote of the year so far.. rofl
Markybee

He didn't win the Ryder Cup. Poulter did, if it has to be anyone.
Kaymers 3 putt on 15 was dreadful. 4 to get down from 30 yards and it looked like it might be crucial and hurt the team - and his - momentum at the time.
Great save at 16 and tee shot at 17 too. Such a bad "lag" putt on 18 with 2 to win against a player who was so out of form its not true.
Had Kaymer missed that putt he would have been the villain as Woods wouldn't have lost the last and US would have knicked it back. Such are margins in the great game of golf.
Stricker out of form. Kutcher so intimidated in the singles and looked like a man who couldn't take the pressure. They were there for the taking at the end and it would have hurt Kaymer the way it stuck with another German from years ago at Kiawah Island had he missed the putt, not for that alone, but to be the most costly 18th hole 3 putt since Doug Sanders in the British Open in 1970.
In another year Poulter would win SPOTY after that. A true inspiration to his team.

The draw worked out well for Europe. You saw chances in most games. Lawrie, who can be brilliant, got at BS early, Donald led from the start to give us momentum but the big, big, big wins were Rose, Poulter & Garcia as they could have gone the other way. Rose in particular as Mickelsons golf was spectaculrly good. To finish 2,3 to win was a crucial time in the history of the match. Furyk has tended to lose his nerve in recent big events and maybe time is catchng up on him.
Going out last you need one of your top men as it wasn't expected for USA to need to top load their order. Woods doesn't have a singles record that belies his status but his fourball / foursomes record is unbelievably bad. The fact that Love had him with SS for all the games he played shows how others dont feel comfortable partnering him.
Banana is so right. Totally dysfunctional relationship with the Ryder Cup from the greatest golfer of modern times.

Stop talking b***ocks. What sort of pressure was Kaymer under on the 18th, that put was a tough left to right on a lightning quick green 'bad lag' is you just trying to prove you are Mr Golf on here.
Kaymer will cost us the cup !!!!!

Great scenes on the TV with camera crews talking to American crowd early on saying things like 'It's on....if we loose this it would be a total shock...not going to happen....' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Woods is a *****. Why did he concede on the last hole especially as Molinari's putt wasn't exactly a given. As one of the pundits said afterwards, how would the rest of the USA team fell about that when if he won that match the match as a whole would have ended up a draw and Europe would have only just retained the cup whereas his actions meant they LOST it. Also and probably more importantly a lot of punters may have laid bets on a 14-14 score.

Also big up to McIilroy for getting his times wrong, having to bundle into the bag of a Police car, arriving with ten minutes till start of play and still scoring points. Hilarious. What a story.

One of the highlights for me was Furyk on the 18th taking about 20 minutes sizing up his putt and then missing twice to lose the hole.
What a pratt!!!!
Can we persuade Poulter to become a striker and sign for the Bees.

He said in the press conference afterwards "what was the point - they had already got the cup"
Sums up the "me, me, me" attitude he has in my opinion. I can't win so I'm out of here !!
Ultimately it didn't matter but still............

It was a bad lag putt and not that difficult as you think. The only good think was he left it uphill but within 3 feet was a putt he'd do 9/10 even under those circumstances. The pressure is amazing of course but it was a very poor putt I'm afraid, Mr Golf or not. I don't need to prove I'm Mr Golf on here, I am :shrug:
The second putt, was, simply brilliant. Good stroke, under the ultimate pressure.

Really? You think so?
When Nicklaus conceeded a 3 foot putt to Jacklin on the last hole of the Ryder Cup at Lytham for a half do you think it was selfish? "Me Me Me..."
He said to TJ, "I didn't think you would miss it but I wasn't going to give you the chance". Its still regarded in golf as one of the most sporting gestures ever in the game.
Think you'll find anyone in the game will think Woods did the right and expected thing. Unless those who want to knock him.
Retaining, keeping, The Ryder Cup is all that matters.

But what if you'd bet on the final score being 14 all Mr Golf
?!! In my eyes, retaining was THE most important thing but winning it outright was the icing on the cake! :yes:

I had 2 mates who had a were very peed off as they'd wagered on a tie
I think betting on the winning margin is pointless because of this, although both teams are so closely matched that you'd never think there would be much in it at the end.
In days gone by once the match was finished they games were often conceeded as individual halves, even if someone is "dormy"
Dormie, for those that don't know, is when one is a number of holes up with the same number to play. ie if you are Dormie 3 you are yet to play complete 16 but are 3 up with 3 to play.
It comes from the French word Domir, meaning to sleep therefore a player can then, in theory relax. Of course, in normal club matches you play further holes as sudden death so you can't relax.
Anything else you'd like to know please just ask.

Well I was one of the lucky few. Whilst in Czech on Sunday morning I backed Europe to win. Good odds (25/1) and I will have to wait for my next visit to collect the winnings. Only the equivelent of £20, but better than a kick in the teeth.
