in 4 balls we should tell our guys not to talk to their partner and pretend you are trying to beat their ass like its Sunday last group at the Texas Open.

Can someone explain to me why Europe gets a half point for forfeiting a match?

captains agreement before play starts.  injury means it is declared a tie.  been that way for years but rarely ever happens.

It seems really dumb in a situation like this. What is stopping the team that's up going into Sunday from faking an injury? Sportsmanship I guess? They need 2.5 points to retain the cup and they got 20% of that for a guy straight up not playing. 

You don't get spotted a touchdown when your QB can't play. 

I'd be shocked if it winds up mattering- just seems like something I would change.

I posted this earlier.  The response was "they've done it this way for almost 50 years".  Dumb, and not at all in the spirit of sport.

nobody in golf is gonna fake an injury in a deal like this.  this isn't LSU. I think it is happened less than a handful of times and it only affect singles.

they could bring a emergency sub who wouldn't play unless the injury happened but it is so rare it isn't worth it.

I understand that and I'm not holding it against Vik - his neck is seriously fucked up. It just seems like some antiquated good ol' boy country club type agreement. Let's have some common sense. 

Oh well.

Props to Bryson for the comeback. Still a lunatic though. 

Rory would be fucking going nuts if he was doing this in Europe in the same situation.

certainly the RC didn't used to mean this much.  petition the Ryder Cup for an alternate.

I think Vik's neck is fine, he's probably faking it.  Doesn't want Harris English heat.

I doubt we'd get Rory down 5 through 7. Maybe if the ghost of Arnold Palmer showed up.

Love the Euro get up today. Thought the red yesterday was ugly.

Huge putt from Young. He may have that dog in him that we’re missing. Hopefully he keeps his form and can give us a few more Ryder appearances.

Baffling he didn’t go out Friday morning.

makes a huge case for ignoring rankings and picking guys that are hot with your 6 picks.
