Going Commando Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 57 minutes ago, Long n Left said: In match play, you hit different shots depending on the situation, in medal play, you just play your own game, shot by shot. They are very different pressures and mentalities. Excelling at match play doesn't mean you're a better competitor than the guy who excels at stroke play. The top Americans as well as the top Europeans are the best competitors in their sport period. Pinning the Americans' struggles in the Ryder Cup on having wives that are too hot and having too much money is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Do people realize that 10 of the 12 american golfers have been playing every week for the past month while only 5 of the 12 euros played in the Fedex cup chase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I heard a prior European Ryder Cup golfer say on the Golf Channel exactly that. Obviously the point was that the Europeans always see themselves as the underdogs. By no means was he or I pinning the Americans struggles on that. It’s just part of the soup. It’s very clear that the Europeans care more about beating the US than the US does to beat the Europeans. And I’m sure part of that is because the American live a charmed life on a higher level than most of the European team. 1 hour ago, skinfan2k said: Do people realize that 10 of the 12 american golfers have been playing every week for the past month while only 5 of the 12 euros played in the Fedex cup chase? That is another factor as well. I think plenty goes into losing considering the Americans clearly have the better team but can’t seem to win.

Also, the euros played that course a total of 260+ times, while the americans in total played it for 8 rounds (aka 2 people played 1 4 day round in it). The euro had the defending champ play on their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I feel like we don't take the same luxuries when we host it. We have some courses that shouldn't allow for a single par round if you do them right. We also have the distinct advantage of the ball strikers, yet we don't use that when we lay stateside. Give me the biggest, longest, widest course on the tour and let the big boys eat. The Euros scheme their whole season around the Ryder cup, while we treat it as an all star game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
