    Its got to the stage now, if Scheffler gets his nose in front, the rest are playing for 2nd place...much like Tiger in his pomp....But a master class of Links play from Scottie, fully deserved and great to watch

    @The Legendary Tongue

    I dpubt I’ll get a low handicap again. Broke my shoulder three years ago and it hasn’t healed properly. We’ll see though! You never know

    Don't put pressure when you do play mate

    I had an unofficial handicap of 8 when I played often but stopped playing for ages, when I got started again I was more off 15 but kept putting pressure on myself to be that 8 player again

    Brilliant from Fleetwood last night, seems such a top bloke and player - hopefully leads to many more wins for him

    I thought he deserved the last slot instead of Fitz, but can understand why Luke has gone for experience over there.

    got Friday off for a morning round, followed by ‘glued to the telly’ watching my favourite sporting event.

    come on Europe, let’s do the septics in style.

    Agreed. The strength and depth Europe have at its disposal is phenomenal. USA have a decent side but I think we have a real strong chance of beating them in their own back yard.

    Having a round on Thursday afternoon with Somb, first in a while. The joys of working from home means that Friday i will be firmly sat in front of the TV and doing very little work.

    I love the Ryder cup. We are very experienced and should be able to handle the crowd. Easier said than done.

    Our squad looks better v home advantage.

    I think Europe will win, as has been said, we have a more experienced and cohesive squad and America are 12 talented individuals. At least I hope so
