Nice try, Cloacaine. Fleetwood is gone. 

[patweisers44 706]

Texted ed.  He chooses lowry to replace the fleetwood choice

I went back and forth between him and Speef. Figured Jordan has a better chance at playing 5 sessions and the rookie might sit out a couple times.

i dont think many players will play 5 sessions.   Rory Rahm and Hovland would be my biggest bets to do so. 

I landed on Rose thinking he might have a decent shot at 4 with his experience and record.

Now that you say that it’s coming back. Wasn’t DJ the only one that went 5 last time?

I would include scheffler from the US side as a best bet to play 5 times. But the perceived US depth might prevent that.  Its game flowed determined i guess.

Agreed on scheffler

I think the US team is “deeper” with more scripted pairings and less likely to tire anyone out. Burns is one of their worst and he might play twice or more with Scheffler. 
 

Euros are more top heavy with younger and less experienced rookies so I could see them having to ride their top 3 horses. 

[dain11279 930]

The only way a US player plays all 5 matches is if they win their first 3. And even then I still don't know if I see it.

[WhiteWonder 2,196]

Big Dik Vik with an ace on a par 4

[edjr 5,611]

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns will take on Spain's Jon Rahm and England's Tyrrell Hatton in the first foursomes

[WhiteWonder 2,196]

i dont like that lowry straka pairing at all..   probably cruise to the W 

[bostonlager 2,479]

4-0 shutout to start the day 

[dain11279 930]

i love the edex ryder cup but when ed says our regular events are all luck, this is far more luck. 

it's all about random draws after we've drafted. Right now I have Homa against Rose and the match means nothing. guaranteed a point and no one drafted bobby mac or clark.  come sunday, you can get screwed if your picks play each other.

 

but its still possibly my favorite.

[WhiteWonder 2,196]

I have the current scoring after Day One as

Patwesier  4.5

Edjr  3.5

Wonder  2.5

Lager  1.5

I have won the edex cup twice. it has to be all luck.  

I love the ride her cup a lot as well.

They always choose the knobs to be captain on away games. Tiger will get a home game in 2 years

Ed has all four guys playing Saturday am, 2 are H2H.

WW has 3 going

Lager has 3 ( 2 are H2H)

I have three going.

[patweisers44 706]

Fleetwood/Rory v Thomas/Spieth

Hovland/Aberg v Scheffler/Koepka

Lowry/Straka v Homa/Harman

Rahm/Hatton v Schauffele/Cantlay

 

Spieth should have found himself on the bench tomorrow, he was missing all over the yard, Thomas earned that half point for them. An alternate shot match with the way he spieth hit it today could get ugly.

 

2nd and 3rd matches should be good, close ones.

If Schauffele/Cantlay win i gotta think they get trotted out again in the afternoon. Although schauffele didnt play well in the afternoon and got boatraced by rory and fitzpatrick.

[Horseman 1,545]

Somebody gave me the heads up that Lager got paired up with Gutterboy on the course today:

I would think any of those combos that win will play in the afternoon for USA... maybe minus thomas/spieth

This Ryder cup is greatly lacking DJ and Reed
