He may have realised and just tried to be sly I suppose

True, it's just ridiculous. I mean look at how sandy the whole course is. Just a shame such an entertaining tournament will be remembered for that.

Well the tournament is back here in 2015 and then 2020 for the Ryder cup so it will be very interesting to see if they change the rules

What a shot by Kaymer and what a prick whoever tried to put him off there

Kaymer

Watching the golf coverage on sky. Anybody else get the feeling that Montgomerie is going to be a car crash at the Ryder Cup?

After watching, and cringing throughout, Faldo's opening ceremony speech last time, he doesn't have much to live up to. Tough decision this week though

I think he will be a great captain because all the players respect him and hes the same with them IMO, but hes never been a great "people person" has he so even if we win the Ryder cup by 10 points hes in for a rough time from the press because hes never got along with them. They cant really do much now because of the injunction he got against them, but it wouldnt suprise me if they dig some story up to upset him!

They should just leave him be until after the tournament, but we all know they wont

Like has been said he cant be as bad as Faldo or even Hal Sutton was for them he was just a joke

Monty picks Eduardo Molinari, Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald for the Ryder Cup team. Casey and Rose not in the team.

I would have personally have left out Harrington and picked Justin Rose, Harrington is living on past reputation/victories IMO whereas Justin Rose is in form and has won twice recently!

Casey must be gutted too but I have no sympathy for someone who chooses to play in the US instead of qualify by rights, at least Donald had the balls to come over and play and it payed of big time with his win and it could have been more!

Bingo. Agree with everything you've posted. I'll also add that it seemed a strange time to release the picks. How much a prat would Monty feel if one of the guys he has left out hit's a 62 today and goes top of the Fedex Cup rankings. Should have waited till the morning IMO.

Its just the way its always been done, at least as long as I can remeber it has anyway.

Just seems odd. Casey is playing well again and yet has been left out. Rose is one of the form players in golf but we have left him out as well. Why can't players score points on the US tour? It's a better tour than the European

Also Harringtons having a stinker again.

I've no sympathy for Rose or Casey after they chased the money instead of playing in Scotland this week.Even if they didn't make the team by right it would have shown how willing they were to try.Look at what Jimenez did,he missed his Nephews wedding to make sure he made the team.
