will be pulling extremely hard for the Euros as I'm waiting to see who Phil can possibly blame next

for 1st session, playing:

mcilroy/sullivan -120 vs lefty/fowler


think rory is ready to play his best golf and high on sullivan in this event despite his relative anonymity in the US - tons of pressure on phil after his idiotic comments and his position as frontman on the ridiculous US 'task force'


should be an interesting weekend

as always, good luck

will be pulling extremely hard for the Yanks

. . . but Europe will not be easily beaten.


Matchups:

I expect the Euros best will keep matters in check in the opening foursomes:

Garcia/Kaymer(-125) over Walker/Z.Johnson
McIlroy/Sullivan(-120) over Mickelson/Fowler
Pieters/Westwood(+175) over D.Johnson/Kuchar
Rose/Stenson(-105) over Spieth/Reed


Outrights:

Andy Sullivan(33/1)(1/4 for 1-2-3-4) e.w. Top Overall Scorer
Brooks Koepka(66/1)(1/4 for 1-2-3-4) e.w. Top Overall Scorer

looks like a little bit of redemption for the board this morning courtesy of lia and IX


played Rors myself but I will say that he has expended a TON of energy this morning (not to mention a good bit yesterday as well) - I would definitely be wary of backing him this afternoon and may look to fade him, as scary as that sounds right now, depending on the matchup - the way it's setting up I wouldn't be surprised to see he and Pieters out last against Reed and Spieth

Just some thoughts on Rory.....

Rory has been complaining about the fans being unruly. I'm sorry, but that's what he deserves. Every hole he's yelling at the galleries, bowing in a mocking way, shaking his fists and pointing like a crazed lunatic.

Are these the antics of a professional? Would Arnie or Jack have ever acted like that? When you poke the bull, you get the horns. I don't feel sorry for him at all. There is an old saying. Act like you've been there before. Rory is a professional. Act like a professional and not like an asshole and just maybe you won't get the ire of a fan or two....

Interestingly enough the Americans are dogs in the first 6 matches and favorites in the last 6 matches. Darren Clarke went with his strongest players at the front and his weakest at the end. Seems like Love divided his up a bit more. If it comes to the last match Fitzpatrick looks so young and seemed nervous what little I saw of him versus a grinder like Zach. Might make for an interesting Sunday.

I was on 17th green yesterday and this women is inside the ropes blocking the view. The crowd asked her to get down. She did for the first golfer (she was Sergio girlfriend). Then this guy in the crowd yells "Sergio putt it like its a major!!". She turned around and said "Just for that I am going to stand". Kuchar went next and missed, Sergio made his putt and Phil made his to close out the match. My son is a senior caddie at Hazeltine and he said that par 3 is one of the hardest holes on the course. The green is very fast sloping to the water and if you go in the bunkers on the left it is nearly impossible to stop. Also very hard to read. Very few down hill putts made there yesterday partly because of the read. He caddied in Loves group early this summer and from a straight strategy standpoint I am asking the senior caddies what greens are slower than you think, which are faster, which break more than the players read and less. He didnt ask the caddies. This is a green where a little home course knowledge could have helped. Watch this hole if the matches get there.

We also sat on the signature hole in the afternoon along the lake. A bald eagle kept flying over the hole....almost like an omen from Arnie. Of the 8 Americans 3 went into the creek long. Some how we still didnt get killed on the hole.

This is funny the first group was had Rory. He went long but just missed the creek. Hit a bad shot and went left about 30 feet away. USA had Dustin and Koepka (in tight) and Pieters was fairly close. Rory gets onto the green and some in the crowd starts singing Sweet Caroline. Rory was away and has Pieters go first. He sailed the first by and misses the come back....so three putt from about 20 feet. Rory proceeds to drain his long tough downhill breaking putt. DJ misses and Keopka makes about a 10 foot uphill putt to tie the hole. I think Rory was a little mad. Some fan I guess said something to him on the way to the next tee box and got tossed out.

Glad the weather has been ideal to showcase Halezeltine, Chaska and the state of Minnesota.
