to pull for DeChambeau, since he is such a tight golfing buddy with TFG and is, from all accounts, pretty much an asshole.

I went to the 1991 Ryder Cup at the Ocean Course on Kiawah. That was the one we won on the last put when Langer missed about a 6 foot putt to half his hole.

Ryder Cup............here are his stats.....he was really bad at the “team” concept.

Career Ryder Cup record (Wins, Losses, Halves): 13-21-3
Years Played: 1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2018
Total Matches: 37
Singles (W-L-H): 4-2-2
Foursomes (W-L-H): 4-9-1
Four-balls (W-L-H): 5-10-0

I really think Rory McElroy had it right, just because we’re from different countries, doesn’t mean we're not together.....just the opposite we’re close because we play as a team, not just a Country.

Come on USA kick their arse.

when Steve has won tournaments when he was playing, he’d get emotional and would cry a bit…….now damn near ever reporter has been asking about it. It’s getting annoying…… I love Steve Stricker, just leave him alone. JMHO.

7. and OMGOSH....the USA team is ahead after the first round of the Ryder Cup 6 - 2....

I COULD BE WRONG........but, Tiger, Phil Mickelson, and all the older golfers lost the Ryder Cup, because, they didn’t ever play with friends. I love this team, with Steve Stricker as the team leader, I like how lotsa players ARE friends.....
