Ryder Cup Is here....

[Viejo Dinosaur]

The USA has a stacked team this year....being played in France....

Star power vs the experience and commaraderie of the Europeans...

Anyone see a line yet? I expect the Americans should be a slight favorite of around -130....

 

[mr merlin]

Supposedly the euros have st up the course to take away the power game(narrow fairways, deep rough, we'll see.

 

[jasson621]

-130 way to short, at least -160 or more

 

[ChiTownJoe]

Right up there with the Masters for watching for me. Love the Ryder Cup, seeing -160 US right now. Looking to bet the Euros in some foursome/ALT shot matches. Should be close.

 

[E$]

Home field, or in this case home course advantage has become too much to overcome in this event.

Europe will win.

 

[Neveragain]

U.S. has not won the Ryder Cup in Europe since the Belfry in 1993, 25 years ago.
Ray Floyd played for the U.S. team. Ray Floyd is 76 years old now.
It was a long time ago.

 

[Erie Pigskins]

Best week of the year!!! Leaning euros + whatever right now.

 

[waco]

WESTGATE HAS USA - 180

 

[ChiTownJoe]

prices across the pond with DRAW (14-14) priced in

 

[ChiTownJoe]

looks like Betfair wants US money

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Line is now hovering around -130....

Where you at Railbird? I will take all your European action that you want....let me know...

 

[Erie Pigskins]

Viejo - is that offer for rail only?

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Viejo - is that offer for rail only?

Yes it is....

 

[Erie Pigskins]

Thought so

 

[Inkwell77]

Why would rail take +130 when he can get like +140 and higher at any book?

 

[Inkwell77]

To lift the cup, I should say

 

[Erie Pigskins]

Friday morning matches

rose rahm -150 koepka/finau
dj Fowler -130 mcilroy oleson
spieth Thomas -165 Casey hatton
reed woods -120 Fleetwood molinari

nothing much jumps out at me - I could argue a case for either side in three of the four above matches. this really shows the depth available on the us roster.

 

[ejd_5277]

anyone know who’s televising in the states? Will it be live in the middle of the night or tape delay only?

Golfchannel live on Friday starting at 2 am EST, then Sat I think Golfchannel might have a little live, but bulk of coverage on NBC. Sunday singles think all on NBC.

 

[ChiTownJoe]

Looking forward to 2 yrs from now, when it will be at Whlistling Straights. Going to try to Marshall so I can kick some Euro shots into Lake Michigan.

Looking at 4-0 sweep, US might be down about 10-6 heading into singles, although doubt Bubba and Phil put a peg in the ground until Sunday which might help the US keep it closer. Spieth should be sitting too.

 

[ChiTownJoe]

Furyk has Spieth playing 2 matches, while a guy who won 2 majors this year only played the morning session, very stupid.

We should be co-captions...just said the same thing on another forum....

 

[Neveragain]

Phil Mickelson is a liability.
Always bet against Phil in these team things.

Golf Digest summed it up as follows ... “A season of struggle off the tee – he ranked 192nd on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy out of 193 players – had to set off alarm bells, flashing red lights and NORAD’s early nuclear launch detection system.”

There’s these blunders you mentioned as well as using a captains pick on Phil and sending Phil out in foursomes. The latter should have resulted in furyk being immediately stripped of captain role. I think Phil was 5 down after 6 today. Embarrassing.

I guess I look pretty stupid now, I was way off

Leave the golf to me guys

I don’t even know what this means.

My point is: He could have (and I’m sure did) get better odds at a sports book than what you were offering him.

I was laying -135 and giving him a head to head NFL contest for 300 each....he refused my wager....I don’t care what he got with his PPH...(he doesn’t play at books)

[Almost Allright]

A few mail it in efforts today by the good ole USA. Bubba Watson front and center.

Watson doesn't even want to be there. He would rather have the week off.

 

[mr merlin]

Yup, Watson always quits if a little bit goes wrong, tiger sucked, reed sucked, Phil should be kicked off the flight home, and how did you like Dechambeau, what a prick, not conceding a gimme put and then he looked pissed that Noren sank that long putt on the last hole.

 

[E$]

Phil obviously shouldn’t have even been on the team.

Could argue Tiger shouldn’t have either.

Finau was the U.S. best player.

You are correct about Phil, except they should kick him off the plane enroute...lol

And good call on the course set up earlier n the thread....
