It has to be said, what the hell was Zach Johnson doing giving a captain's pick to Brooks Koepka and arguably Justin Thomas? Yeah, Koepka won the PGA Championship, but so what? The Ryder Cup is a team competition and if he wasn't in the automatic points standings then it counted for little. Thomas is wildly out of form and both of them have been selected ahead of Keegan Bradley and Billy Horschell who have both been in excellent form this season. Tony Finau has regularly been on the leaderboard in PGA Tour events this season but is not in the US team. Would the inclusion of those three made a difference? Who knows, but as in any sport, it makes little sense to ignore players in form. Luke Donald didn't hesitate in picking Ludvig Aberg who only turned professional in June and as yet to appear in a major. Apparently, Sergio Garcia was prepared to face a £750,000 fine from the LIV tour to appear in the Ryder Cup but he was told in no uncertain terms that his services weren't required. The original captain, Henrik Stenson, was immediately ditched when he took the Saudi money. Anyway, it's been nice to see Koepka disappear up his own arsehole and Europe should have little to worry about tomorrow. Horschel has been in horrendous form, he's not even in the top 50 US players. Bradley should have played, you can't really not pick Koepka, he won the USPGA. He is a selfish shit though

Felt a bit sorry for MacIntyre as he was almost always blue despite a sea of red above him and Fleetwood.
He went briefly 1 down but won 3&1 so must have turned it around before the whole thing was won. Barely saw any of his game at all through the day though.
Rose was great for him and getting 2.5 points from 3 is a fair effort given he was out of his depth last time.
Glad Fleetwood sorted it out though and felt Lowry could have dealt with Speith better early doors. Six all in the singles is a great effort really given the US chucked the kitchen sink at it.
How much of a dick you got to be to want to be paid to play in that!!

Bit of a wobble halfway through the day but we got the job done in the end.
Everyone contributed which was great, the Americans bar a few are a really unlikeable bunch so it was great to see them put in their box……

The boys are having one hell of a night by all accounts.
One or two sore heads in the morning.
Well deserved boys, enjoy.

Does anyone think the same as me that it’s the greatest sporting event on earth. I love watching and playing golf Get in there Europe I go to The Open pretty much every year and I went to the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles a few years back. I have really enjoyed watching the Ryder Cup this year (on TV) but I have to say I think it is now a bit over-hyped, the emotion in the crowd seems slightly false to me. If I'd been at Bristol City yesterday I can tell you I would have enjoyed our winning goal far more than anything at the Ryder Cup. Personally I look forward to the football World Cup much more than the Ryder Cup. I'm not knocking it though, it is a great sporting event and certainly Rory's emotion when he was interviewed after his round today was 100% genuine.

Must say over the years I’ve fallen out of love with football. Obviously go to the stoke matches when I can with my boys and grandson and I love the day out more than anything with them. Hardly watch any other football tbh I’ve been hooked on golf for a number of years now unfortunately only play 3 or 4 times a year now because of work commitments but I just think the Ryder cup has everything

How much of a dick you got to be to want to be paid to play in that!! There was a reason MacIntyre was out last and if you saw his interview after Day 1 you would understand why I agree Rose did a fantastic job to protect him and to be fair MacIntyre did better on Day 2 and actually contributed How on earth could Lowry have dealt with Speith better "early doors"? Speith had 2 Birdies and an Eagle in the first 5 holes and was 6 under at the turn. At the 16th Lowry went level and at the 17th went one up to effectively win the cup at about the same time as Tommy won his point behind on 16th Payment for playing in Ryder Cup has always been contentious. Each USA Player gets to nominate a Charity to receive $200,000. All players receive increased sponsorship. All players receive a generous clothing allowance for themselves and Wags for Official Dinner as well as all expenses paid. European players receive an unspecified "gift" for participation Finally all Ryder Cup Players receive an invitation to play in PGA Tournament which MacIntyre under his current No 55 World Ranking wouldn't qualify for.

I reckon Lowry could put a bit away seems a bit of a party animal.... asked what he was going to do said he was partying tonight flying back to Florida tomorrow then he said he might go out for a few days said he was going to ask Rory if he wanted to go out

European players receive an unspecified "gift" for participation Finally all Ryder Cup Players receive an invitation to play in PGA Tournament which MacIntyre under his current No 55 World Ranking wouldn't qualify for. It wasn’t MacIntyre’s position as last out I was on about and understand why he was there as his match should have been irrelevant. However, it looked like it could have become relevant but barely saw anything from it, or Fleetwood’s really to an extent, and couldn’t tell you if he played well, Clark was rubbish or a mixture of both. He stroked -3 which is good shooting given the context and was one of only 4 European’s I think not to lose so hopefully gets some confidence out of that. Be good if it was the genesis story of the new Colin Montgomerie but, although he has the diet, not convinced he’s got the temperament In terms of Lowry didn’t think it was a particularly controversial statement – the way the week had gone the European’s must have fancied their chances v Fowler, Spieth and Thomas and when Lowry and Fleetwood drew two of them wouldn’t be surprised if that was two Donald had circled as bankers. Lowry coming out one over par through three and c. even/+1 after 9 surely the scorecard itself shows he could have done more in the early stages especially as it was a big part in the US momentum? I’m not denying he did well to dig himself out of the hole but it didn’t need to be 3 deep for me and also think there was an element of immaturity in closing it out too. He should never have immediately given the impetus back at the 15th and that was a massive mistake especially how fragile Spieth’s confidence appears. Being greedy I’d have rather he didn’t fuck about down the 18th and instead secured a full point as 17-11 looks a lot better – I think Ryder Cup legends like Seve, Langer, McIlroy, Monty, Faldo etc would have concentrated on getting the full point in the bag before going mental and as he’ll probably be the senior man next time around he’d need to show similar to have any chance of getting into that level. The payment thing sounds like when the national teams play football and that to appease the no doubt couple of greedy fuckers they get paid but vote as a team to give it away to charity so the greedy fuckers haven't a leg stand on. If some of the US team want paid themselves I genuinely don't get it - they're wedged and if they're chasing money they'll never have enough whereas all the money on the planet can't buy a slot on a Ryder Cup team.

Excellent win after an amazing start.
It's a shame Fleetwood didn't get to sink the winning putt instead of just picking the ball up. It should be 'a thing' that the winning putt should always be sunk. There should be something special and conclusive about the ball dropping into the hole to seal victory.
