I have to say Rory was a massive disappointment, he did however play the shot of the tournament for me. Ball well below his feet, risk of falling face first into the water but he just nailed it! I think it could be Phil and Tigers last Ryder cup.
Heaven forbid, but it could be Poulter’s last too, though I hope not!

Mickelson had no business being there really, but I believe he is going to be the USA captain next time.
 
I think Rahm out Poultered Poulter, with his winning celebration.

I enjoy the winning as much as anyone but I get a bit uneasy about the over-the-top celebrations and chest thumping. Golf to me is about sportsmanship, decorum and dignity but it's seems to go to the wall during the Ryder Cup, maybe the team format encourages it.
 
Loved that final long putt which gained Europe another point when it looked like we'd only get a half. Noren had to plod through the last few holes* when everyone else was celebrating....he deserved his moment in the sun when that putt went in.

*Apparently all matches have to finish because of bets laid on final score.

The yanks stepped over the line first years ago...they should have know this little old nation would come crashing through louder after them :)

I really really hate that call of 'In the hole'....delivered even when there is no chance of said spherical object finding the orifice. I just want someone to shove the ball into the offender's mouth.....with prejudice.
 
Some may have forgotten or not even known that the Ryder Cup used to be the US v GB, but it all got too predictable, so the rest of Europe was brought into it.*

*This is not an excuse for some smart arse to mention Brexit.o_O

As one commentator said over the weekend.. “I think that spectator must be watching a different course”

The worse one is the guy who shouts out mashed potato after a drive. I mean wtf is he on about?

In the spirit of Uncle Albert *, can we mention the UKs withdrawal from the European Union?

Del doesn't want to hear Uncle Albert's war stories.

Albert During the...
Del If you say during the war, I'll pour this cup of tea over your head!
Albert I wasn't going to say during the war!
Del Alright then.
Albert Bloody little know all!
Del Sorry
Albert That's alright. During the 1939-1945 conflict with Germany

And personal pride as they’re all playing for points which accumulate over the years and allows a “Garcia” achievement.
