Up here on the left.
Than you need to do some research!

If you watched golf alot you'd know that most of the USA team have been hitting some good form for the last couple of months, The top 10 rankings are now dominated by stars and stripes again. With the exception of McIlroy who's on fire, Europe's top players have been up and down.

That said, the rankings are decided on stroke play. In a match play environment I think all our players can instantly lift their game. It will be close, but USA to shade it by a point for me.

Where are ya?

Europe will walk it. I have no idea why the OP thinks that the USA are huge favourites, it's rare for them to win a major these days.

Come back and tell me after the tournament. I've been watching and playing golf since before you were born.

You're good!

So good that you said Europe will walk it... At least have the good grace to gloat only when you were actually right! :facepalm:

Petty bullshit aside, WHAT A RESULT! Unbelievable choke from the US team, but what a bunch of HEROES from Europe. I thought my bet was dead in the water, even after Kaymer sunk that putt... Molinari you beauty!! :rock:

Has anyone managed to work out why Tiger gave that put? Although I'm very anti US fans, their players deserved a tie out of the match, and I think Tiger should have let Molinari put

I thought it was a great moment, the game was up, share the point, classy.... Never thought I'd say this but it made Tiger look like a gentleman compared with his boorish team mates.

Davis Love's interviews afterwards showed a lot of class.

the American's are much more gracious losers than they are winners, strangely. Losing suits them.

So many magic moments
Rose turnaround last 3 holes was amazing
Genius of Poulter
Bet Stricker wants to top himself

Stricker and Furyk must be feeling suicidal because they really care and they are, I think, decent citizens like most, if not all, of the US team. As for Tiger, don't know whether he cares or not but i would hope he does and he feels the pain.

I think my four favourite moments of the whole thing were:

1. Lawrie's chip in, from an impossible position, right up against the camera gantry. He was never going to lose after that.

2. Woods v Molinari, on the 13th (? - par 3 over the water). Woods tee shot landed 6 ft from the flag and it looked like he was going one up. Molinari lands his 2 ft away, and Woods is scrambling to save a half.

3. Rose's incredible putt on the 17th, coupled with Mickleson's gracious reaction to it.

4. Best of all, Furyk's premature celebration on the 16th green, just before his match clinching putt lipped out.
