You may have watched the 'highlights' Mick. I watched it all.

Which would appear to be somewhat more than you.

I watched it all too - I'm suggesting you might need to watch the highlights as you took so little in first time round.


What I saw was Rory make the biride on 17 this morning that put them in position to get the half match which they got - His partner said he was "immense" in the post match interview - you may know better. In the afternoon he made a number of clinch putts to keep the irish pair in the match in the afternoon - unfortunatley they lost on the 18th to a very strong performance from Cink and Kucher. The Cink putt from distance on 17 changed that game. Rory and Graeme went out again and are already 3up overnight and I expect them to win this point in the morning. Can't argue with that performance.


As for Harrington, Fisher paid tribute to him after the round - He put the ball near enough to the hole for Fisher to hole the putts and also read the lines for Fisher. He more than justified his selection. He had a poor first game with Donald but that was early this morning and for the rest of the day he was fantastic. He will have 2 points from 3 by the time we sit down for our lunch tomorrow.


Westwood, Fisher, Donald were excellent today.

Young McIlroy is still a work in progress after a number of errors at crucial moments. The 21-year-old had his moments, but missed a short putt for a half on 17 and leaked his pitching wedge approach into the right greenside bunker on 18, after finding the water with his second on the same hole earlier in the day to leave his partner under pressure.


This is from The BBC sports website. GMc was hardly going to describe his partner as crap was he? Is that 3 up and 4 to play?


Just heard a rule I didn't know. As it's going to have to finish tomorrow,if there are any unfinished singles at 18.43 they will count as a half. Could lead to some slow play if the time becomes an element.

I think that quote is only stating the obvious Declan - you have to look at the whole of play yesterday to put his performace in perspective. Thats why I went to the bother of setting it out.


If he wins his 3 up game today he will have 1.5 points from 3 and his singles will then dictate whether he is a net winner - which would definatley be a good ryder cup debut.


Good luck to him, setting aside the approach to the 18th, he has dealt with the pressure well for someone so young.


Europe to win at least 4-2 today and take it even or a small lead into the singles.

The Overton and Bubba Watson celebration after holing from the fairway at the 8th was hilarious at the time and even funnier when Peter Allis and Ken Brown got to have their say on it in the highlights. Really funny.


Great day for Europe today though, possibly their best ever day in Ryder Cup.


Monty has front loaded the sibgles draw to get the job done early tomorrow and Harrington and McDowell as anchormen just in case.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
