I had read how someone thought the USA would get beat becasue none of them are playing good right now. Well above is a list of avg finishes their last five tournaments. The U.S. has finished about three spots better then the European team over these events. Also the Euro team has a majority that only play majors on the PGA tour and just dominate the Euro tour with different fields. Westwood hasnt played in a month and wont play until the ryder cup so i wouldnt say he is playing well either. I like the U.S. team for the most part. I would have taken A.K. thought i just liked him playing in this kind of format. *If any math is wrong full blame can be given to Joey Pepper.

Number one, I am proud of you DaBooth for any math calculations...But those numbers don't really tell me much about anything. 3 places is not really enough for me to say that one team is so much better than the other. I think that amount of points can be made up for just with the fact that the Euro's are at home. I am not rooting against the US, but I am just not excited about the lineup they are putting out there...I think Bubba Watson is an idiot that will go for everything and rarely get it...He will put his teammate in alot of bad spots for alternate shot especially...Ditto that for Phil and Tiger right now, they may be the two worst for alternate shot. DaBooth I love AK as well, but I just don't think you can live off of the memories of last Ryder Cup with him because he really hasn't lit it up since coming back from the wrist injury...I guess the Euro's aren't as intimidating as they have been in recent years either, it's just I am not overly excited about our lineup.
ReplyDeleteHave u been watching golf lately??? They both suck... Not sure anyone can argue that point. I hope they both turn it on for Ryder Cup, but it isn't lookin like it will happen. I would be more confident with DaBooth as my alternate shot partner as either of them.
