The Ryder Cup

[JackSomething]

It's coming up soon and I saw this article about Brooks Koepka on the Beeb:

Is that a good indication of why the US record is relatively poor in modern times? They almost always have the better players, but are all about individual success and so find it difficult to gel as a team maybe? Would help explain the excellent Ryder Cup record of middling European players and the comparatively poor record of great American goflers (Hi Tiger!).

If the Yanks can come together as a team, there should be no doubt about the result. Look at the world rankings. Europe have 1 player in the top ten, while the Americans have 8!

Brooks recently said he’s going to win more majors than Tiger too.
F*ck him.

Didn't Poulter once say that him and Tiger were the best two players in the world? Him and Brooks should have plenty to chat about if they play against each other.

No Justin Rose??

No Justin Rose??

I was surprised myself. He would have to have been a Captain's pick and Harrington went with Poulter, Garcia and Lowry. Ridiculous that the Americans get so many more Captain's picks, should be the same for both teams.

Yes, but Europe have the option to change the number of picks. Their choice not to.

Should be a great contest. Stunning course for this one.

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware of that fact. Complaint withdrawn! :lol:
