2010 Ryder Cup

Mahan misses, that's it, Europe win the Ryder Cup 14.5-13.5
 
Get the feck in! Another Irish man gets the winning point in a Ryder Cup!

Watch as Sky News proclaim him as one of their own again.
 
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Nah, well played to Europe. Great tournament. Anybody could have won it, right till the end.
 
Great entertainment, today was a great advertisement for golf. Europe started brilliantly, but all credit to the Americans who fought back and made sure it went to the last match. Stricker, Jimenez, Poulter, Dustin Johnson, Woods, Fowler and McDowell showed great ability and mental strength to win their matches. That was a great Ryder Cup, fitting it went to the last match...

1528: It's all going off at Celtic Manor - the European players are drowned in a sea of fans, Monty is drowned in a sea of champagne, remarkable scenes. This event started out as a bit of a dog's dinner to be honest, but it's ended up being something of a classic. Here's a good stat for you: Europe won it while losing three of the four sessions, not sure that's happened before.

Class!! :devil::devil:
 
Yank TV coverage of the final day was a fecking joke. Why didn't NBC show it?

Cuz the entire reason golf gets aired on Network TV here is that the tiny fraction of people who watch it are all rich fecks who companies want to advertise to. That lot all went back to work on Monday and got the results from the Internet.
 
My American friend just told me that none of the players care about The Ryder Cup, anyway.

Can't say that, just watch Hunter Mahan's reaction afterwards, he was close to tears. The American team was dejected, but your mate is probably right when it comes to players like Woods and Mickelson. They've won majors and will win Majors in years to come so probably don't care that much.
 
for a team that supposedly don't care, they sure did celebrate when they won it last time! Its balls that they don't care, bad losers

I could'nt agree more, great TV
 
Sad that the Yanks can't clone tiger, because by fecks did he give old mate and arse fecking and a half today.

As much as its nice to see the US lose, watching an inform Tiger like that is something else.

He sure knows how to find the hole alright.
 
Yanks in bad losers shocker :lol:

Sorry, did you say something? It got by me.

:rolleyes: funny how remarks like this only appear after a defeat. Of course they fecking care. That much is obvious.

Agree on Poulter, pound for pound the most consistant player over the 4 days. He slightly shades Westwood for me.

Again the Americans stuggle in the four balls & four somes. Its a strange one, maybe they should try care a little more about that?
 
Anyone who thinks American golfers/golf fans don't care is out of his mind. yes, it's not the Holy Grail, but it certainly matters.

The proof of that was Hunter Mahan breaking down and crying like a girl after the loss.
 
Fun moments from the Cup

NEWPORT, Wales -- The first tee at this Ryder Cup has made the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open sound like the Scottsdale library.

The 2,000 fans there, 95 percent of them European, are thunderous, clever and in perfect unison. When did they rehearse?

For instance:

• In full throat, they'd sing back and forth like a seesaw as each player took his warm up swings: "Whooooooo [on the backswing]," they'd croon, and then, "Waaaaaaaaay!" [on the downswing.] American player Jim Furyk, who was loving it, held his backswing at the top, just to see if they'd hold their chant. They did.

(Tiger Woods, not one for golf shenanigans, didn't show up to the first tee until about a minute beforehand and never took a practice swing. Buzz kill. Finally, one guy hollered, "What's up, pussycat?")

• In a lull, they chanted to Stewart Cink, "We've got more hair than you!" To which Cink doffed his cap to prove it.

• To 21-year-old Rickie Fowler, the tiny U.S. player who looks more like a skateboarder than a golfer, somebody hollered out: "Hurry up, Rickie! You've got double math [class] today!"

No matter how loud the fans got Monday at the first tee at Celtic Manor, they always knew when to be quiet and not interrupt play.

Even Fowler laughed at that.

• To Dustin Johnson, who was playing the German Martin Kaymer, who defeated him at the PGA this year when Johnson was penalized two shots for grounding his club in a bunker. "Hey, Dustin, he's got yer major!"

• No matter which European was up, they'd sing the player's name to the Mexican tune of "Guantanamera": "One Ian Poulter! There's only one Ian Poulter!" Along came Francesco Molinari , whose brother, Edoardo, is also on the team. "Two Molinaris! There's only two Molinaris!"

• To Zach Johnson, who was playing in the second-to-last grouping against Padraig Harrington, with Europe holding a commanding three-point lead: "Not to worry, Zach! It'll be over before you guys are done!"

Occasionally, just to rub in the lack of even a peep from the American fans, they'd chant, "U-S-A, sing us a song!"

In reply, a pocket of Jeff Overton fans from Indiana managed: "We still have the cup!"

To which some guy called out: "Hope you polished it!"
