Alright ladies,
Not long till the Ryder Cup starts ultra-early on Friday morning, anyone else really looking to see this? My housemate has got himself tickets for Saturday, but for me I'll just be packing the house with beer, and alternating between that and FIFA11 for three days straight.
Personally, I think it's much more even than the last one, and I think the Tiger Woods factor won't work out for the US, giving Europe a narrow win. How do you see it?
cant wait for this start, off work all weekend in anticipation of regaining the ryder cup
my prediction...
16-12 europe or something along those lines, america are always going to be strong with the likes of mickleson and furyk in the side but europe look to have the stronger talent all round and the molinari brothers are going to clean house
Europe should win, they have the stronger team, the most obvious pairings, and most importantly have all played competitively on the track.
I disagree with you about Tiger, Rhun, because he's been so badly written off, most "experts" predicted he wouldn't even play a few weeks back, I have a hunch he might play a blinder. This hunch is mostly based on the fact I couldn't resist backing him to be top scorer at 10/1
Three days of great betting opportunities :cool:

It's just a small bet, one of many i'll have. The very fact everything is against him is the reason I backed him - reverse thinking ;DQuote:

I've also backed Luke Donald, who has a great record and "experts" are predicting will play all five matches.
Waiting for the pairings later today before getting stuck into them.
Yea i can see where ya coming from, tend to do that myself with Liverpool, never bloody works though :-\ Suppose a couple of quid is no big shakes ;)Quote:

Europe by 2-3 points.
Really hope McIllroy gets paired with Tiger on Sunday. Should make it really interesting.
FOURBALLS for tomorrow:
Phil Mickelson/Dustin Johnson vs Lee Westwood/Martin Kaymer
Stewar Cink/Matt Kucher vs Rory McIllroy/Graeme McDowell
Steve Stricker/Tiger Woods vs Ian Poulter/Ross Fisher
Bubba Watson/Jeff Overton vs Luke Donald/Padraig Harrington
Europe just looks so much stronger on paper.
Has anyone found a market for the number of times Ricky Fowler will be mistaken for a safety steward? He's always in day-glo, I reckon the beeb will have been checking filters so he doesn't blind people.
I do think those fourballs look relatively even though. Kaymer and Johnson have been fairly solid, Mickelson's been a bit hit and miss and Westwood has been off for a few weeks.
McDowell and McIlroy seems to be the one that Europe will be banking on as the best chance of a win. Poulter and Fisher should have a little edge on form, and probably Donald and Harrington too.
Either way, it'll be the first time I'll be up so early in the morning without moaning and groaning!
Wish this rain would piss off.
I can officially announce that it's been dry in Swansea for about and hour or two. Doesn't look like there's more rain on the way though.Quote:

Yanks had a great afternoon yesterday, thought we would be in a better position than 1 down after the first session.
I think the reshuffle of schedules has worked out well though, more people out on the course, and the swings back and forth are exciting. More rain penned in for tomorrow on a recent forecast though, could play right into Europe's hands.
Cink was on fire yesterday, I was worried about Harringtons inclusion missed a few putts I would of had Casey in there before him.
Looking very tight this.
