I don't think many do. Just looking at 2012, Rory and Rose were the only 2 who did.

Yeah, seems you'd want everyone fresh Sunday. Lots of media this week, plus 4 rounds of golf through Saturday could be tough. Even if you lose a point wih their "replacement", better than having both fall flat Sunday and losing 2 because of it.

Lol not sure why I went to 2012, but in 2014 Rory, Rose, Rickie, and Walker all played 5.

Rory 2-1-2
Rose 3-0-2
Rickie 0-2-3
Walker 1-1-3

Looking like 5-3 USA after day 1. Europe dominating 3 of the 4 matches in Best Ball, Koepka and Snedeker winning the other, comfortably.

Saturday morning foursomes...



Shocked to see Rose and Stenson split up. It shocked to see Pieters and Rory back together.

Should be another great day.

I will never understand how NBC Sports manages to stay so consistently out of touch with reality on broadcasting shit year after year.

NBC Sports is so far and away better than everyone else is laughable. Trust me on that one.

I can agree with you on production type stuff, but in terms of "showing shit when it happens because this is 2016" they are retarded.

Olympics are a different animal, and their hands are tied significantly in what they can show.

So that aside, how are they worse than anyone else? And considering the Olympics was available live streaming, I wouldn't even hold that against them.

Patrick Reed was insane. Still young, but he is turning into the US version of Poulter. Kill the Ryder Cup, don't compete in Majors.

And how bad was Spieth?

US leads 9.5-6.5 heading into singles, thanks to Westwood. Should've been 9-7.

Yeah Reed literally won that match by himself. He shot 29 on the front.

I saw a couple people on my facebook feed bitch about the US fans being classless. What were they doing?

There was some complaining (from Europe, and some media agreed) that the fans were very loud, and taunted/swore a lot. That would be my guess.

I feel like this comes up every time we host. IMO it's a "truth lies somewhere in the middle" thing. The fans are definitely toeing, and some are crossing a line regarding etiquette, and then the Europeans blow it out of proportion some as well.

No, it was bad this time. Calling Rory a "fucking Irish ****", and some others.

My father in law was there, and Medinah, said this was 10x worse and inappropriate.

There is a difference between cheering and booing and cheering their mistakes. But calling names and saying shot you would never say to someone if not for the cover of other people yelling is crossing a line.

Yeah that's not good. It's no secret that US fans are typically louder and rowdier than what they have overseas (and it always pisses the Euro's off over here), but getting personal like that is never good.

Tiger.

Would be great to see him back after several years....even if it were just a few tournaments where he was contending. If he won another major it would be damn big.

Played a great round today, albeit by himself.

Will be interesting to see if he can put together 2 in a row playing with Rickie tomorrow.
