Glad Rory won to get the Slam, but Damn, missing the green on the 72nd hole with a gap wedge from 125... what the f*ck. Almost as bad as the wedge he threw in the water a few holes earlier.

That shank he had on 13 was something I would do. Thought for sure after that he'd miss out on his grand slam once again. What a roller coaster of a ride he had and he persevered

Once he missed the put on 18, I thought it was over for him. Glad I was wrong.

Painful to watch Bryson all day; can't recall the last time I saw a major tour player so horribly off on his yardage control. Woefully short and long on his approach shots all day long. Like often a full club or more. What in the hell....

He was fighting dead-pull hooks, which result in a club long.

I wonder if he will reconsider the "one length" irons. Seems like it would be tough to control distance in the short irons. Has any other PGA player has ever used them? He does have a couple US Opens so...

With the whole LIV deal, I'm finding it hard for me to give a rip.
The Captain should have chosen himself to play, IMO.

They should have went with someone else for captain instead of K. Bradley. He's got plenty of years ahead of him he could have been captain. Not a real great move really.
Team looks really solid, looking forward to a great Ryder Cup

Yeah, odd decision to begin with to make Bradley the Captain with plenty left still in the tank for his own game.
Ray Floyd ran into the same issue in 1989. He was still a top notch player and picked Watson and L Wadkins instead. Both played solid, but it wound up a 14-14 tie and Europe retained the Cup.
Floyd went on to make 2 more as a Player after being a Captain, so perhaps Bradley has that to shoot for.
Ryder Cup is an awesome event.
My golf viewing has pretty much been condensed to the majors for both PGA, LPGA and events like the Ryder Cup. Occasionally will checkout a LIV event.
Also enjoy watching college golf and the US Amateur Championships.

I’ve watched maybe 10 minutes of LIV golf. I’m old school and just not a fan of it
