I've aced a few holes in my day. Not sure it belongs in the Golf Thread though.

I meant to ask you sooner, how's Britain with Georgie's win?

[Spanky99]

Throwing darts this week. Guys are going to go low.

 

Brooks Koepka wins!

I had no idea what you were talking about for a while until it clicked! Was trying to work out which player's nickname was Georgie haha. Women's golf gets very little coverage here because the majors don't overlap with the men's like in tennis.

 

The only time you really see Brits celebrating British success in minor sports is the Olympics and the women's draw at Wimbledon. Our sporting coverage is dominated by the major popular sports. At the moment it's mainly the football (it's transfer deadline today!) and a bit of the cricket as England are in a Test series with India.

One of them will get hurt and back out.

Amazing job by Henderson over the weekend winning the Canadian Open, respect, she dominated... arguably the best Canadian Golfer ever, imo. And she's only 20.

[P2F]

Looking forward to some exciting golf action this weekend. I wish I had tomorrow off work to watch.

 

Tiger's locked in.

This mornings matches were funtastic!

Great start for the US - can they win in Europe for the first time in 25 years? Europe leading 3-1 early in the afternoon matches so hopefully it'll end up as a close one.

I'm hoping it stays close, and goes down to the wire in singles play on Sunday. Europe's kicking ass this afternoon thus far.

Yeah looking like a clean sweep in the afternoon matches.

[Spanky99]

Europe is kicking ass!

[Spanky99]

...

[Spanky99]

Europe is killing it, again.

[Spanky99]

I love this play.

[Bobthe4th]

The US will have to load their better players up front tomorrow - if Europe get a few early leads then it's basically over. Still can go either way though!

Do the winners advance to play Canada in the championship??

[Terminator]

Not looking good for the Red, White and Blue. Like Bob said, need to load up on the better players and there is no margin for error anymore. Won't exactly take a miracle but they are going to have to play really really well.

That is what the President's Cup is for!

[Bobthe4th]

It's going to be a close finish!

 

Woods and Mickelson well on the way to going 0-6 though.

[Bobthe4th]

Would be good to see Molinari get the winning point and go 5-0.

[Jimcanuck]

It's going to be a close finish!

likely over in the next 15 minutes

[Bobthe4th]

That's it and Molinari does seal it! No European has ever gone 5-0 before.
