| Ryder Cup Central Here we go again. This time at Valhalla, September 16-21, in the heart of Kentucky for Golf's bi-yearly version of The Hatfields vs. The McCoys. It's been a rough go of it for the US lately. Will this be the year the Tiger-less fresh blood steps up or will it be more of the same ? Here is the place for all of your Ryder Cup discussion. |

Single's matches
Kim - Garcia, Garcia to win strongly in the first match out, will be interesting, wasnt Anthony Kim the one who drove the green (or 2nd shot to a par 5), whilst Garcia's group was still putting out?
1 up Europe Mahan - Casey, Halved or 1 up either way, Hard one to call this one. 1 up Europe Leonard - Karlsson, Leonard looks favourite for me here AS Mickelson - Rose, Rose to win a close called show 1 up Europe Perry - Stenson, We all know Stenson's great match play stats, so i cant go against him here, a convincing win 2 up Europe Weekley - Wilson, Weekley to win convincingly 1 up Europe Holmes - Hansen, Hansen to out play Holmes tactically, easy win 2 up Europe Furyk - Jimenez, Got to be close, Jimenez wins on the 18th 3 up Europe Cink - Mcdowell, Cink to take this one, Mcdowell has been a ryder cup revelation, but cant see him doing Cink 1 to 1. 2 up Europe Stricker - Poulter, Poulter to take it before the 16th 3 up Europe Curtis - Westwood, Halved, cant say much more  3 up Europe Campbell - Harrington, Harrington wins on the 17th green 4 up Europe Oh well, would love to be right, but probably got em all upside down  CMON THE EUROPE Lets see some more predictions

1 up Europe Mahan - Casey AS Leonard - Karlsson - Tossup AS Mickelson - Rose 1 up USA Perry - Stenson ....another tough call AS Weekley - Wilson ...

Re: Single's matches
I think the way these have lined up is very exciting. I don't see any dead cert games out there. I see two people have given Boo an easy win against Oliver Wilson, but Wilson is 1 for 1 and I think looked good (not that I saw a whole lot of it). There probably will be a blow out somewhere, just because that's the nature of the game, but there's not a game there I can't see going to 18. Tomorrow should be very exciting. I can't wait.

Re: Single's matches
Boo's been great though. I'd put good money on Hansen over JB. Curtis has been bad too, but I think he has a shot against Westwood. That's what makes this such a great event. Anyone can beat anyone tomorrow. But Hansen is a lock.

I said before that I think the US needed a 3 point lead going into Sunday to win the Cup and I'm sticking with that prediction.
Kim - Garcia US 9-8 Mahan - Casey US 10-8 Leonard - Karlsson Halved US 10.5-8.5 Mickelson - Rose US 10.5-9.5 Perry - Stenson 10.5-10.5 Weekley - Wilson US 11.5-10.5 Holmes - Hansen 11.5-11.5 Furyk - Jimenez Halved 12-12 Cink - Mcdowell US 13-12 Stricker - Poulter Halved US 13.5-12.5 Curtis - Westwood 13.5-13.5 Campbell - Harrington Europe 14.5-13.5

Re: Single's matches
I'll not go match by match, but I'll predict a 6-6 split tomorrow in the individual matches, giving the US the Ryder Cup by a slim margin.

Re: Single's matches
There will be a suprise win for both sides, Kim v Garcia,Wilson v Weekly , but I'm still expecting Harrington to clinch the 14th point and the draw pays out.
16-12 to either side is also possible!

Re: Single's matches
Kim (USA) vs. Garcia (EUR)
- 2&1 Garcia Mahan (USA) vs. Casey (EUR) - 2&1 Mahan Leonard (USA) vs. Karlsson (EUR) - 2&1 Leonard Mickelson (USA) vs. Rose (EUR) - 1 Up Mickelson Perry (USA) vs. Stenson (EUR) - 2&1 Stenson Weekley (USA) vs. Wilson (EUR) - AS Holmes (USA) vs. Hansen (EUR) - 3&2 Hansen Furyk (USA) vs. Jimenez (EUR) - 1 Up Furyk Cink (USA) vs. McDowell (EUR) - 1 up McDowell Stricker (USA) vs. Poulter (EUR) - 2&1 Poulter Curtis (USA) vs. Westwood (EUR) - 3&2 Westwood Campbell vs. Harrington (EUR) - 2 Up Harrington That wouldn't be enough to get the Cup back to American soil. I hope I'm way out to lunch, but I just don't think these pairings set up well for Zinger and the boys. Let's go USA!

Re: Single's matches
I went 3-9. That's why I stay out of the casinos.
