Afternoon pairings posted

Was hoping Koepka or Berger would be in there this afternoon 

[bostonlager 2,457]

Rory sucks. First time I have ever picked him in a draft. Looking like the last as well. 

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

BDC is looking a mess already

[bostonlager 2,457]

Scores and matches updated. Check my math. I've been drinking all day

[bostonlager 2,457]

Rory getting sat for the first time ever. Paddy Harrington is a focking retard captain. Fock him and fock Europe. I hate them all. 

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Guess I’m cheering for Koepka and Berger. 

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Some of our fans are A holes

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Wasn’t watching all morning was following on my phone. Saw that hatton and Casey clawed to one down and Brooks and Berger were only one down. I flip it on and the first two things I see are Berger playing from a bunker after Sergio knocks it stiff and then hatton lipping out and DJ wins the hole. 
 

good job team. I am such a jinx 

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

And I’ll be lucky to have two of my players going this afternoon 

[bostonlager 2,457]

Scores up to date and I will continue to do so throughout the day. About to start drinking though, so be sure to check my math.

i had that this morning and it resulted in a whopping 1 point of a possible max 3.

[bostonlager 2,457]

DJ shaping up to be the MVP of this thing and I pooped on him real good. 

[bostonlager 2,457]

thats what I had it as.  At this point, advantage ADP as he knows he wont be sharing any point opportunities with all Americans.

It’s all singles tomorrow. None of us are sharing.

what i mean is, there is no chance two of his players are playing against each other.  

you have the same advantage but 3 points back of cloaca.

will be interesting to see how the matches fall.

I don’t know when the pairings get posted, but if it happens tonight, please post a link and I will update the OP

This whole scoring is weird.  A draft for Ryder Cup just doesn’t work, not a fan.  Regular tournaments are 10x better.  

Even day 1 was weird.  You have two players playing against each other so who cares?  1pt.  Not fun.

I like it. Years ago, myself Ed and Pat did a 3 person draft using the same scoring before the Edex was invented. I will agree that a regular event is a little more fun but I think a draft for the Ryder cup brings more strategy into play. 

- you could draft all americans or all euros to eliminate the chance of ever having players play against each other, or do a 3-1 split to limit the chances. 

- you can try and pick up some players you think will play together so a win nets you 2 points in one swoop.  Risk/reward there. Lager attempted this with Rory/Lowry.

- early on, you have to decide if you want to draft players coming in with the best form or players likely to play in the most matches (hopefully both). This is why Sergio was higher on my list than some guys who were/are playing better. I expected him to team with Rahm for 3 or possibly all 4 matches on the first two days. Its why my top 3 was Rahm, JT and Rory. I thought they were all locks to play all 4 matches even though the flow of the event dictated rest for JT and Rory being out of sorts lead to him sitting. It's also why I goofed when I forgot about Hovland in round 2 as I had a feeling he would go all 4, though he didn't do much. 

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Everyone is capable of grabbing 4 points tomorrow. No one has two guys playing each other. Will make it interesting and bring anyone within 4 points into the picture. 

[bostonlager 2,457]

If Berger 3 putts I will fix the scores. Its over in terms of who won the money either way

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Woooooo!!  Our match was closer than the cup.  Down to the wire between AD and I.  Thought it might be a tie

[Alias Detective 1,179]

Nice win Cloaca.
