The "USA" chant is surely one of the most revolting sounds the human ear is ever exposed to.

They have nothing else... literally the only thing

It's been a great day of viewing. Hopefully tomorrow we will be ahead. Been a close day. Fourballs Europe have had a history of losing.

Zero points for Scheffler so far

Based on how terrible american golf banter is it's a good thing they don't like football.

I always fancied Europe to win overall but probably started better than I expected; be good if McIllroy and Lowry could snatch this last point on of the day on the 18th though

Sadly, I can't see any of the action but I'd assume there's a good chorus of "Yoorup! Yoorup!" going on?

It's "get in the hole" that get me....

‘I believe that we will win’

It’s so cringe.

Yesterday was excellent, there is just something about this format it’s just brilliant.

Is this a normal amount of adverts? Feels like I'm watching a boxing match with adverts every 3mins

Yeah. It's disgusting. The coverage missed live shots due to it coming back late from ads.

 

[Finners]

Glad it's not just me that thinks that then, feel like when I watched golf in the past adverts were few and far between. Why are we paying for live sports and missing half of it.

Why do the European team always wear such drab colours? US team always look sharper.

Meanwhile I’m coming here to ask where can you buy that EU top they’re wearing

Navy is always an easy colour to look good with (as the US top does with the white collar)

It’s always pastels and browns with Europe

5 holes in and again English/Morikawa getting battered - statistically they are the worst pair possible that the Americans could put together.... Yet Keegan puts them out again second day in a row....

I’m not complaining!

USA have been dreadful. Apart from Young and possibly Cantlay the rest of them may as well go home.

Going to be a boring final day unless this afternoons fourballs is 3-1 to USA

Come back can always happen!

Wonder if they’ll drop Scheffler….

 

[Vertigo]

Scheffler & DeCham? Bradley has no idea what he’s doing and is just throwing mud at the wall now.

Bradley is just picking the big names, most of them have been awful yet he just sticks with them.

This will probably be 3-1 to Europe again.

Want a Europe win but would prefer it to be an exciting day tomorrow and not Europe needing 3 wins out of 12

Bradley's captaincy felt a bit like a consolation prize for missing out on a captain's pick in 2023.

What I find ironic is that, despite all the chanting of USA from the fans and talk of national pride by the American players, they're not actually team players and it shows during the pairs games, especially in foursomes.
Compare how much is being made of the rock solid Europe pairings which have been carried over from Rome. The US just doesn't have that and mixes and matches every round to see what might work.

It’s probably a lot down to the money, they only recently got paid for playing this event and IIRC they had to donate a portion of it.

There nothing really on the line for Scottie so he doesn’t care as he said a few months ago, he doesn’t really like golf only plays it because it pays - or something a similar.

Whereas the Euros are playing for pride, passion and the love of the game! They refuse to get paid for it.
