They're at the 15th, and both Europeans have birdie putts while the Americans are both not on the green.

what hole is that Mickelson/Garcia on?

by chad 9/26/2014 11:48:17 AM
i like the first two in the afternoon for europe, last one for the us... and who knows with that 3rd one

by Katja 9/26/2014 11:48:00 AM
No Spieth/Reed...nonsense

by Armaan 9/26/2014 11:47:48 AM
Makes sense to play everyone day one, see where everyone's game's are at, will influence decisions for upcoming matches.

by LetsgoUSA! 9/26/2014 11:47:29 AM
And as I type that, Sergio knocks a peach into 15. That match is all square with four to play.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:47:24 AM
Have to say I'm surprised by the doubt over Mickelson and Bradley. They've scrapped wonderfully against McIlroy and Garcia, who have been dovetailing well. Taking it in turns for inspiration.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:46:54 AM
I'm fine with Furyk, but definitely Spieth/Reed over Mickelson/Bradley or Walker/Fowler.

by RyderDie 9/26/2014 11:46:16 AM
Incidentally, 1999 at Brookline saw European skipper Mark James keep a couple of his players out until Sunday. And look how that worked out...

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:46:00 AM
While Furyk has heaps of Ryder Cup experience, his experience of this course is virtually nil, aside from practice. That's the logic there, I would imagine. Give everyone a feel for the course early.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:45:22 AM
Why no reed or speith this afternoon? Do we really need jim furyk out there?

by bgsbucs1999 9/26/2014 11:44:44 AM
Phil & Keegan stay out?!? Terrible call Captain.

by Sander Cortenraad 9/26/2014 11:44:32 AM
A tip - Victor Dubuisson is going the drive the US nuts in this format. Absolutely nuts.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:44:09 AM
Well...I guess the second guessing of the day begins...why sit the pair that absolutely CRUSHED the competition this morning? At least Bubba and Webb can go grab a pint now!

by Jacket0224 9/26/2014 11:43:36 AM
So quick straw poll says the Spieth/Reed absence is the biggest from a US point of view. It was somewhat presumed Reed would sit this afternoon, and seems like Captain Watson has decided to stick with his original gameplan.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:43:25 AM
Wow no Spieth and Reed after that short match that they dominated?

by Steve 9/26/2014 11:42:23 AM
You are kidding, right? No Spieth/Reed after what they did this morning?

by John 9/26/2014 11:42:17 AM
Why sit Spieth/Reed?

by RyderDie 9/26/2014 11:42:14 AM
Happy with those matches? It means everyone plays at some point on day one. It also means the fabled Ian Poulter has been sent packing with his tail between his legs this afternoon.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:42:08 AM
by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:40:11 AM
Here are the foursome pairings this afternoon...

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:39:03 AM
Virtually the same distance as that putt at Medinah, but this one comes up short. They'll go down the last, dormie 1 against Walker and Fowler.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:38:44 AM
Two matches left out on the course - and one of them might be about to end. Martin Kaymer has a putt to win the match at 17...

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:37:44 AM
If this swings back in Europe's favour, I do apologise to our American cousins. Europe really have been the better side while I've been here.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:36:36 AM
And Garcia nails his from 12 feet! Great putt, the Europe chants are back.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:36:12 AM
Garcia and McIlroy have a putt each for a halve to keep things all square after 14 in the final match.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:35:58 AM
Keegan Bradley drains a beauty in the final match, Jimmy Walker hits another lovely bunker shot at the 17th. USA, all the way, as things stand.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:33:56 AM
It has been indeed. Everything the Ryder Cup should be.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:33:45 AM
Welcome back Steve, been a great morning!

by Greg Fant, Greenville, SC, USA 9/26/2014 11:33:25 AM
I left, and Europe were in the ascendancy. From a European perspective, it's all my fault, isn't it?

You're welcome, America.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:33:11 AM
Kaymer has unleashed one on 17 right within birdie range - this is going to the wire. And to take you through it, Steven is back.

by Rob Bartlett 9/26/2014 11:32:04 AM
Would not play Keegan this afternoon.

by Chris 9/26/2014 11:31:06 AM
Walker finds the greenside bunker - is he going to make it a hat-trick?

by Rob Bartlett 9/26/2014 11:29:50 AM
Afternoon Guesses in no particular order: Mahan/ZJ; Furyk/Kuchar; Spieth/Reed; Bradley/Fowler

by Armaan 9/26/2014 11:29:16 AM
Fowler lands his tee shot at 17 right next to the sprinkler head by the green.

by Rob Bartlett 9/26/2014 11:29:11 AM
Yeah, I don't separate Reed/Speith right now...no way. Bubba and Webb are out. Furyk/Mahan and Johnson/Kuchar?

by Chris 9/26/2014 11:27:55 AM
Jimmy Walker....for the win!

by Chris 9/26/2014 11:27:49 AM
If I was Spieth I'd sleep in that hat!

by Oldkoot 9/26/2014 11:27:46 AM
Walker with another chip in! Bjorn and Kaymer now only one up going to the 17th tee. How's your nerve...

by Rob Bartlett 9/26/2014 11:27:44 AM
Who played better/worse: Poulter/Gallacher or Watson/Simpson?

by Bruce Phillips 9/26/2014 11:26:51 AM
Steve - I can see Gallacher being rested and maybe even Poulter. I do, however, agree with Greg and think Speith/Reed will get a shot at Rory and Sergio.

Who do you think will play in the afternoon matches that also played in the morning?

by Steve 9/26/2014 11:23:35 AM
Mickelson and Bradley have a shocker at 13 - all square now against McIlroy and Garcia. They were two up.
