foursomes have been proven to be the big difference in who wins the ryder cup over the years. Theres some really strange stats there and its usually very much the hosts that the stat favours. Not this year

The Yanks seem to be every bit the flat track bullies. So many big names but most found wanting

Well not on the final day in the individual matchups. I was quite impressed how they managed to play their way back into it.

As a team and as pairs on the course, they sucked.

I dont think this was a strong US team and everything apart from it being played in NY, pointed to a Europe win

Probably didn't help that Bradley was non-playing captain, but has been in better form than much of the team

Yeah. I'm no fan of Keegan but he had played OKish lately.

On the flipside of that, I have a trivia question for the Fern.

How many winning Ryder Cup teams has Tiger Woods played on? He's played in eight cups, total.

Not many I'd guess

[JK]

Yeah maybe 1? 1999?

Its been european dominance for a while with the US only picking up the odd one of every 3 or so.

[barbarian]

Yep. Tiger is 1/8. Which I find staggering.

Pretty cool news.

Very cool.

The quality of some of those players will tear up these twos courses unless its super windy, or they really wind up the green speeds (which I suspect they will have to).

Watched quite a bit of the latest APAC in Dubai over the past week. It's a massive event.
