The Ryder Cup Golf 2012: Europe retain trophy, complete incredible comeback

[James]

Is anyone here going to watch, and more importantly post in this thread?

USA vs Europe, one of the most exciting sports events there is IMO.

[King Gizzard]

Eurrrrooooppee

*pretends to understand golf*

[Mystic Mock]

Stricker beats all im afraid Nathan.

[King Gizzard]

Don't be silly :idc:

[MTVN]

I'll watch a bit of it, never found it that interesting a sport to watch though

[King Gizzard]

I like the laddishness of it when it's in Britain, all the chanting

[Mystic Mock]

Don't be silly :idc:

Here's the teams.

TEAM EUROPE
Nicolas Colsaerts Luke Donald
Sergio Garcia Peter Hanson
Martin Kaymer Paul Lawrie
Graeme McDowell Rory McIlroy
Francesco Molinari Ian Poulter
Justin Rose Lee Westwood

TEAM USA
Keegan Bradley Jason Dufner
Jim Furyk Dustin Johnson
Zach Johnson Matt Kuchar
Phil Mickelson Webb Simpson
Brandt Snedeker Steve Stricker
Bubba Watson Tiger Woods

[Mystic Mock]

Stricker wins it for Team USA on the last hole is my prediction.

[King Gizzard]

They showed the Europe shirts on SSN earlier, can't find a link though, they have Seve sillehouettes on them

[King Gizzard]

Justin Timberlake hosting the opening ceremony :suspect:

[MTVN]

Tiger's just hit a shocking drive on the 1st

[Marc]

Isn't he just

[MTVN]

That chip from McIlroy :worship:

[Novo]

I hope some stray dog ****s in one of the holes and blocks it up so the tournament has to be cancelled

[BBfanUSA]

LOL this is just sad. (Obiviously I'm Team Ammurica)

[MTVN]

America take the first point, first time Donald & Garcia have lost playing together

[Legend killer]

It really is sad to watch Woods nowadays. The knee injury and the whole affair debacle completly ended him. Leading up to the tourney i heard the Europe captain say that Rory was close to Woods in his prime and just burst out laughing.

Rory is an AMAZING player but Woods in those prime years was like nothing else we have ever seen in sport full stop

[Legend killer]

America will also win it easy this year 3 points at least

[Mystic Mock]

Stricker the hero.

[MTVN]

America will also win it easy this year 3 points at least

Another one of your foolish predictions

[Roy Mars III]

Bubba and Tiger will destroy these goons

[Roy Mars III]

America will also win it easy this year 3 points at least

of course

[Legend killer]

MTVN i will expect your PM containing your apology in the near future. As Novo has found out more then once i am bang on the money the majoirty of the time

[Legend killer]

Bubba along with Rory is y far the most enjoyable player to watch

[MTVN]

What are they thinking having Woods play again this afternoon

[SharkAttack]

I miss Seve. :bawling:

[lostalex]

Love the Ryder Cup. I wish they brought Rickie Fowler though, he's cute.

Bubba is DESTROYING this round, rock on Bubba. USA!

[MTVN]

This afternoon has been a disaster

[MTVN]

Westwood & Colsaerts the only ones holding their own for us

[BBfanUSA]

Westwood & Colsaerts the only ones holding their own for us

That's because they're playing Woods :joker:

[Legend killer]

Looking good for my prediction if Stricker actually made a bloody shot they would be winning this aswell

[Legend killer]

Tiger is so fuken annoying he makes a shot that no one else in the world would make then follows it with an amateur mistake

[Legend killer]

Westwood is the worst number 1 in history lol will never win a major and should be dropped for 2moz has contributed NOTHING today

[lostalex]

Westwood & Colsaerts the only ones holding their own for us

no, just Colsaerts, Westwood was pathetic.

Felt like it was USA vs. Belgium, not USA vs. Europe.

[lostalex]

It was a brilliant day of golf though. Tiger's late comeback taking it all the way to the 18th, and that final putt, sooo tense!

It was a lot of fun, can't wait for tomorrow!

Have to say I wasn't able to watch much of the afternoon session, looking forward to the Europe comeback next 3 days though

[BBfanUSA]

2 days,

ESPN is saying Tiger isn't playing today or at least the morning session. Thank God.

[Legend killer]

America will also win it easy this year 3 points at least

Another one of your foolish predictions

http://www.gifcrap.com/d/2037-1/Nicolas+Cage+trying+not+to+laugh.gif

Up in all 4 matches

[MTVN]

Europe pulling it back now

[MTVN]

This is sh*t, singles tomorrow isn't gonna be very competitive at this rate

[MTVN]

I could putt better than half the European team :idc:

[SharkAttack]

Whoever decided on those fuchsia golf shirts should be shot. It's not that I often notice things like that, but it's like a beacon of awfulness! lol

[Legend killer]

MTVN got anything to say to me???

[MTVN]

Lot of golf to be played Legend Killer :idc:

[Legend killer]

Lol

[Legend killer]

Even now when Woods clicks no one is close to him shame Stricker has contributed NOTHING again i expect Tiger to walk the singles

[MTVN]

Poulter finishing amazingly here

[MTVN]

Poulter :worship: what a great end to the day, Legend Killer gone quiet not surprisingly

[Novo]

Speechless for once

[MTVN]

Time for an avatar change

[MTVN]

Ok this one's sh*t

[MTVN]

McIlroy thought Chicago was eastern time so overslept and had to get a police escort to the course :joker:

[MTVN]

Poulter makes it 10-10 :worship: where you at Legend Killer?

[BBfanUSA]

Zach Johnson. He's from My State :D

[MTVN]

If Kaymer halves the 18th then Europe win, this is an incredible comeback

[MTVN]

He did it :worship: :worship:

One of the most dramatic days of sport I've ever seen, amazing

[lostalex]

Such BS, how the **** does getting a draw = winning? golf is stupid.

[Legend killer]

**** me that is the most exciting thing i have seen in a long long time. As usual Mickleson BOTTLED it when it really mattered how he lost that match at the end i will never know and Stricker has to be the worst player/performance to ever grace the Cup

Rory for sports personality of the year i think

[MTVN]

Because we won it last year :pat:

Have anything to say to my good self LK?

[Legend killer]

Have anything to say to my good self LK?

Yeah i was wrong still don't know how they managed to mess it up though lol made for amazing viewing though

[MTVN]

Not the apology I was expecting but good enough

[Legend killer]

If rory does not win SPOTY we all know it's a joke award

[MTVN]

Such BS, how the **** does getting a draw = winning? golf is stupid.

Don't need to worry about this anymore eh :D

[lostalex]

27 countries against 1 country... yea that's fair. :rolleyes:

wrong.

[Mystic Mock]

A great result, they deserve way more respect than the England Football team imo as they are just posers who don't even try, unlike these guys today who fought tooth and nail to get that win.

[King Gizzard]

Ok then

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf USA have it easier than Europe as they all can communicate better with each other unlike a whole continent, also it was America's turf so they should have won it.

[King Gizzard]

Golf is one of America's top sports, Golf is a well recognised sport in only a few European countries

[lostalex]

i agree.

[lostalex]

no it's not. what percentage of the American people do you think play golf? i'd guess less than 5% so how is that a major sport? DO you have any idea how expensive it is to play golf in the US?

[lostalex]

Europe has far more ARISTOCRATS who have played golf for generations, because Europe is so classist, they have generations and families that have a long history. The USA doesn't have that same elitism and classism that Europe has.

[Legend killer]

It's not Europe's fault the American team are full of bottlers. How the **** did Mickleson and Furyk manage to lose there matches i will never know. Just suck it up and stick to sports like Rounders that not many other countries play

Rory sports personality of the year 2012 what a man

[Brother Leon]

What a bottlejob :joker:

[lostalex]

I'm not saying it's Europe's fault, obviously they played some amazing golf, as did the Americans, i'm just saying if we are gonna play continents as teams, then let's have all continents as teams.

We should have 6 teams in the ryder cup, 1 for each continent. That would be more fair, that's all i'm saying. I'm not saying Europe still wouldn't win, i'm just saying that it would make more sense.

And i think it would be a better match having all 6 continents competing.

[MTVN]

This is your best line yet

[Mystic Mock]

How about all the continents compete so the Antarctica Golfers can play?:joker:

[SharkAttack]

Brilliant watching today. Always a sucker for a comeback, even if it's against my own country. :joker: Only wished it had gone down to the last two men.

[Legend killer]

^^ Pretty confident Tiger would have pulled through

[lostalex]

^^ Pretty confident Tiger would have pulled through

i think so too ;)

Well done Europe!
