Is this the NZ sporting moment of the weekend??
Way to go Foxy!!
@taniwharugby not bad at all. To come back after that triple bogey and play the way he did was nothing short of amazing and to beat a field that had the whole European Ryder Cup team playing!
The significance of this win is huge for him. Will pretty much guarantee him a PGA Tour Card for 2024
So good. That recovery shot on 15 was just madness. Amazing resilience after that early triple!
10 days later
Ryder Cup day 2, and the US are getting totally pumped. I don't know what's going on, but it might be over today
Hovland and Aberg just won 9&7. Biggest win ever in the Ryder Cup. Won 9 of 11 holes and halved 2. Against Scheffler & Koepka. Ridiculous
What an incredible turn around in 2 years. Scheffler looked broken after that this morning. Then Cantlay basically fell apart on 16 and 17 greens to hand the match to Rahm and Hatton.
US mounting a comeback in the afternoon matches. Comfortably up in two matches, down 1 in each of the other two with plenty of holes to play. If they want to give themselves any chance of getting close enough to compete tomorrow I think they have to win all 4 matches. Spieth has been ice cold in all his matches so far, and he's continued to be a burden to Thomas. If they had an alternative option I think the US should have played them
Great comeback by Team USA this afternoon, although Team Europe still well ahead and only need 4 out of a possible 12 points tomorrow to retake the Ryder Cup.
But the momentum is with the Yanks and all to play for heading into what has been yet again a wonderful spectacle.
@Dodge apparently there are some issues in the team with Patrick Cantalay leading a protest about not being paid...slowest fluffybunny in the game will no doubt get his point across, eventually.
Rory pissed about something
Every now and then, one of the Seppos comes out with the “we should be paid” thing. Two issues here; firstly you don’t HAVE to play, just decline. Secondly, just how much fucking money do you want?
You know what, just fuck off.
@Catogrande bet he asked to paid by the hour...

I notice some of the US players are not wearing caps on the final day. Is this some form of protest, or do they just enjoy playing with the sun in their eyes?
On the subject of pay to play, I guess the counter argument for not getting paid, would be that they should get paid to compete in a very lucrative TV event, the same way as football players or tennis players get paid to play in the WC or Davis Cup (assuming they get paid)
