Ryder Cup

I'm not a member of the Tiger Boosters Club.

OK.

Hey go back to the Tiger Woods thread. You will see several things:

1. You have a hard on for Phil
2. I don't have a hard on for Tiger
3. You are one racist mother fucker

Ah....just like because I don't like our current socialist president? Guess that makes you one too then.

But it didn't have to be. The USA could have and should have won.

In fact, it would have if only ...

• Captain Davis Love hadn't let Phil Mickelson push him around like a wheelbarrow. Love admitted he was considering playing his undefeated star pairing -- Mickelson and Keegan Bradley -- in the afternoon Saturday, but Mickelson talked him out of it. "Do not play us this afternoon," Mickelson said. "We're giving you everything we have." But he and Keegan hadn't even been stressed in their three wins. They had played only 32 holes, total.

Mickelson's reason?

"Historically and mathematically, guys have not done so well in singles if they have played every session," he said. It's not even remotely true (they win about half the time). Two men played all five matches in this Cup -- Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy -- and both won Sunday. Rose didn't seem tired at all Sunday. In fact, he sank three huge bombs on the last three holes to beat -- wait for it -- Mickelson.

Mickelson didn't lose. Rose WON. Huge difference there.

Mickelson didn't lose.

Holy shit. We better call the PGA of America and let them know they need to retreive the cup from Jose Maria's house.

Jesus. You've become the kyjelly of the golf thread. Nice "out of context" remark.

Just saw an interview with a few members of the Ryder Cup team, they still had a cough and hoarse voices from the Choke in Chicago.

Mickelson should have played Saturday PM and he shouldn't have cheered Rose on. Furyk should have closed out his match on Sunday, as should have Stricker.

Yeah. We lost because Mickelson didn't play Saturday PM.
