where was all that when the US team torched them in 2021?
Bradley said that analytics actually told them to cut down the rough. so they are using analytics and it was a dumb move. there is so much BS with this. where were the analytics on Sunday when they got roasted?
they putted like shit on Friday, their scoring irons were not good either. Most of Saturday they putted bad also. Burns is one of the best putters on tour and he sucked.
It really isn't that complicated. the US team chokes because they generally get out short gamed in this event. On top of that we had rookies who just face planted on Friday/Sat and Morikawa who really shouldn't have been on the team but he was #8 and a vet. I've been very critical of the English/Morikawa pairing in foursomes and that could have been the difference but that is the only egregious mistake I see.
Donald just chose the same team he had in Italy. He isn't some genius. their guys made putts(Rose in particular was out of his mind) and were overall better with shorter irons Friday and Saturday. They hit balls inside us all weekend, made putts on top of us, etc.
Europe has some great golfers with experience. we have guys who choke, generally.
other than foursomes you are playing your own ball.
