World #13 and Tour Champion Tiger Woods doesn't deserve a spot, should have put some younger guys on there.

I have been thinking about pairing with Tiger and I think the guy to go with him is Tony Finau. Finau doesnt talk much which would be great with Tiger as he really plays head down. They would be a birdie machine too. What they dont need to do is put Tiger and Phil together. Phil needs to play with someone who likes to rabble around a bit more. Also Furyk better hope Phil gets matched up with Sergio because those 2 dudes are both exhibiting garbage ballstrikiking right now.
I think there is zero chance Tiger and Phil get paired up, as should be the case. That little experiment was a complete disaster, and although both have changed since then, I wouldn't want to chance it.
My personal pairings sheet:
Tiger/Bryson
JT/Fowler
Fatrick/Spieth
Koepka/DJ
Finau/Phil
Bubba/Webb (loss)

Love him or hate him, can't wait to see Captain America Reed go all America on the Euros.
Think this will be a close one. Several on both sides are not playing particular well but USA has the deepest roster.

Uh...no, and not even close. Would be a huge upset to beat that bunch on their turf.
Yeah just ignore the world rankings and professional bookmakers cause cole knows better.
He's basing it on being the opposite of what common sentiment is -- just like with everything else.
Biggest Dbag that I know personally, and it's not even close.

Surprised Phil is not in the fourball. With how tight this course is I can't see him in Foursomes.
Same. He's 6th in Birdies on the PGA Tour, which is what you're looking for in Fourball...and you always have the safety net of your partner.
If there is one format he'd excel in given the otherwise shaky recent state of his game, Fourball is it.

Mickelson left out of the morning session. Good choice by Furyk as he's playing awful right now.
Surprised the Euros aren't trotting Poulter out there in the morning. Dude's putter is usually on fire in Ryders, and I figured they would send him out in hopes that he can get the crowd into it early.
The US clearly has the superior team and someone is claiming the opposite? Do you even watch golf? WTF?
I like Koepka being in the first match. Nothing fazes that dude.
On paper the U.S. is clearly better but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see guys like Hatton, Noren and Oleson throwing darts all weekend. That's the beauty of the Ryder Cup.

I love seeing Finau out there. The guy is a birdie machine, and Koepka is as steady as they come.
Honestly I’d sit Phil tomorrow afternoon as well. I’d play him in four ball, but he doesn’t make sense as a partner in alternate shot. Although I hope he makes me look stupid if he does play.

Tiger plays a prank on Coltart who he beat 3 and 2 in singles in 1999

Yeah, but other than your knowledge of golf, and the fact that you're a golfer, and you've watched every Rider Cup, and you know every golfer playing, how do you justify your answer?
Edit: I'm gonna send you a text soon that will make you say. " nice doggy, where did you get that".
They've been showing Tiger and Reed so much I've almost forgotten who else is playing. At least they cut the camera over in time to watch other players' putts.
Koepka and Finau have their work cut out for them. The Rose/Rahm pairing looks like a machine.
I know he hasn't been playing that well lately, but wonder if playing alongside Tiger spooks Reed a bit? He might be the ONE guy that makes him a little nervous out there.
Spieth is holing everything. The U.S. has to get a point out of that match because the other three could be dicey.

Wow. What an upset in the morning fourball. The #1 and #8 ranked players in the world somehow managed to defeat the world #5 and 12. The USA just stole a point.
Despite Reeds past heroics, I didn't like his pairing with Tiger. He hasn't played well in months. Thought Dechambeau with Tiger was a better pairing. But I'll take 3-1. Id take a split in the afternoon.
Fleetwood is going to be in the line of Sergio, Monty, etc...one of those Euros that is going to be a thorn in our side for 10+ years.
Need to at least split the second session.
