Bet we will be saying welcome back Tiger very shortly...

 

[SK1NT]

and he's broken up with his fit bird!

go vijay! played superbly in the buick open and deuche bank!

 

[GUNTER]

No wonder she left him, he is a boring old fart. You would think he was 55, not 25 or whatever he is.

Rumour has it she did not like golf. Hmm, not a great recipie for success.

 

[tedebear]

anyone else except Vijay and I'd be happy...

 

[Marshy]

me 2 tedebear, Now Vijay really is boring !

 

[Kaney]

Where are all the English Golfers? Bring Back Nick Faldo for ryder cup team!!!

 

[Billy Seagull]

Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Paul Casey will all soon be in the worlds top 20. They are currently 35th, 58th and 28th. Lee Westwood is also on the way back after a spell in the doldrums and is currently 42nd.

IMO Luke Donald will be the next European to win a major.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

Can't wait to see Ian Poulter get his Ryder cup threads and turn them into a true fashion statement.

 

[Beach Hut]

Vijay is a good golfer although there was cloud over his head about cheating a few years ago.

Conclusive proof is that for Tigger to have been at the top for so long proves what a magnificent player he was- he will be back and even better.

what about Winnie The Poo?

 

[Beach Hut]

what about Winnie The Poo?

OK Tiger then

 

[Gwylan]

Hmm..just three European golfers in the top 20 (and 10 Americans). Wonder how much the US is going to beat us by in the Ryder Cup?

I am confident we can win it - we are not as bad as you think

 

[Stumpy Tim]

US courses are far easier, that's why they do so well. We always put a good show on for the Ryder Cup.

Where's Justin Rose, the supposed next "big thing"?

 

[Billy Seagull]

The US courses aren't far easier but the world ranking points favour the yanks as so many of the top players play over there which makes their tour stronger. Luke Donald is a fine example of this in that he hasn't won in the US this year but has come over into the 2nd division (European Tour and) won twice in the last month.

However, I believe that the yanks have a lot of players out of form and that our boys will beat them next week

 

[Marshy]

On recent previous performances, I think we go into the Ryder Cup as slight favorites.

Will be very close for sure, however I believe we will miss out this time.
