My gut tells me he definitely has the potential, however (and I don’t have access to analytics) as I’ve watched him, he has moments when it all goes sideways. I’m not felling it over the next eight opportunities.

jordan.harris2d ago

Not sure the next two years, but once he wins one, I reckon the floodgates will open for him. Maybe the next Koepka…

Woods - Hogan - Jack - Jones - Snead... Walter Hagen should be ahead of Player. Hagen is one of the most underrated players of all time. He was the first American to win The Open, and won it 4x. Five PGA Championships, and five Western Opens (which was like a major back then). He was a six time Ryder Cup captain, and won 11 majors.

Top 5 when you consider everything he did in world golf back in that ers

dond5d ago

Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns. Wyndham exuded a great deal of enthusiasm and rah-rah which was nice to see. However at the end of the match he was 1-4. Burns is a likeable guy and a very good golfer. Yet he somehow reminds me of “always a bridesmaid, never a bride.”

deebsrose5d ago

Look, not everyone's game is cut out for match play. The Cups are a different beast than medal play..

From an American perspective I’m picking Henley, but the complete opposite is true for the Europeans haha. Get him on the plane to Ireland Jim

So the next three seasons? Not through 2030? I’d be incredibly surprised if he won a Major. Not taking anything away from this fine young man, but he’ll possibly have 12 attempts and while he’ll learn an awful lot, the competition and mental stress to beat the best in the world over a four day stretch is difficult to imagine. I certainly wish him luck.

antonymmartin847d ago

I doo ok believe that he’s an absolute superstar in the making. However, I reckon he will not have won any majors by the time 2030 rolls around. I do think he’ll end his career as a multiple major champion (maybe 4/5), but he is still so inexperienced

peter.lynch7d ago

I don’t think any tbh… such a difficult thing to achieve and still so young, but definitely one or two further down the line

pmerriman156d ago

Usa

johnverrall118d ago

USA win and turn it around

jamesshearman238d ago

I’m going for the dreaded tie. 15-15

thomaspadlo56d ago

Giving trump any credit

jamesshearman238d ago

Henley & Bridgeman went 0-2 in foursomes. That could be the difference

v9ydvryw6h8d ago

You should’ve picked Gary Woodland

pinkpetal4239d ago

Collin Morikawa

jordan.harris9d ago

Gotterup would be fun as a partner for Scottie. But at this point, it really feels like he is having the same problems as Tiger

pattinsonrod09d ago

Xander for me, Scotty driving, X irons and S to putt first.

walkercharlie82810d ago

JT was excellent, didn't see that coming from him

jamesshearman2310d ago

Ryo Hisatsune! I didn’t fancy them to beat Young & Xander at all

antonymmartin8410d ago

Great shout on Fox. Could say Adam scott as well after his excellent form last week

johnverrall1110d ago

I think it’s always good publicly for the sport to have such a high profile figure in attendance

getjeffrey10d ago

He's a huge sports fan and has been since the 80s, publicly.

peter.lynch11d ago

Team USA will love it, and so will Trump… I couldn’t care less in all honesty! 😅

johnverrall1110d ago

JT & Tom Kim

peter.lynch12d ago

Let’s go Clark to have a blinder, and Fox to impress on the other side 🔥

jordan.harris13d ago

Think Scottie finally gets his act together in this event, while I reckon Min Woo Lee, Ryo Hisatsune and Nico Echavarria will lead the way for the Internationals

mikewydragolfpro12d ago

Both Cantlay and JT are infinitely inferior to JJ Spaun. Jackson Koivun is a good pick, but we should have Spaun and Ryan Gerard instead of Cantlay and JT. That would be our best possible team. I love Sneds, but he dropped the ball a little on this one.

dond13d ago

I would have picked JJ over Cantlay. I understand Koivun as the “shiny new object” and to draw in more “newer, younger” eyes. But JJ is solid and a tough competitor. Cantlay’s putter has failed him noticeably this season and his notoriously slow play can have a profound effect on the flow of matches.

peter.lynch13d ago

Think the injury may have played a part, but he definitely should have been considered. Again though, it matters very little in this one- sided event, let him play for the international team! 😅

n2happy115d ago

Like all golfers, he is having a difficult time getting his game on track. He is having a mental downtime. What’s on his mind that is affecting his swing and making him play the way he does only he may know or he may not himself know. He’s been here before and fought through the demons. He can do it again.

donaghcorby199715d ago

It depends how he’s feeling physically, that will be the death knell. If it’s a mental issue, he can work through it.

antonymmartin8416d ago

Not too concerned just yet. He will know he made a massive mistake joining LIV Golf. Now the key for him will be playing well on the DP World Tour in 2027, getting his confidence back and then going again on the PGA Tour in 2028, if he is able to rejoin

derek.hawkins4818d ago

I was more impressed with the efforts of the so called ' Rookies ' of the European team. Fabulous viewing from ' Down Under '.

jordan.harris21d ago

Has to be Linn Grant, from 0-4 to 4-0 this time, incredible performance!

terrycommane19d ago

Get over it get on with the game

conobrien1520d ago

He did shout 4. I saw it as a stupid joke no more no less. Clarification perhaps required, punishment no

kyle.archer22d ago

Shane Lowry should be made to be a volunteer for multiple junior tournaments.

serentbob19d ago

I played an amateur tournament in France, it took so long 5 hours 30mins to be exact. I never played again. One guy left half way round saying it was lunch time.

knightinwhitesatin22d ago

My local course on Medal Sundays high handicappers were lucky if they got an early start time because the low handicappers finishing early would sign up themselves and other low handicappers for the next Medal Sunday taking all the early slots I only once got an early slot when I was with 2 others and got the first tee time

daviescallum4222d ago

6 hours is crazy. 4hr30mins max, 4hrs is the sweet spot

daviescallum4222d ago

About time, it has been a long time coming.

jamesshearman2326d ago

I can’t lie I’m over this story now. LIV needs to call it a day!

antonymmartin8426d ago

We’ve known for a long time this was going to happen. Would love to get an honest answer from everyone involved with LIV if they would have done anything different, if given the chance to start again. I’m sure they wouldn’t be so bolshy trying to force it down fans’ throats

antonymmartin8427d ago

I’m going Lottie for Europe and Nelly for USA. Genuinely buzzing for Friday, gonna be a classic I reckon

jamesshearman2328d ago

It’ll be Charley for Europe and Nelly for USA - the two superstars ⭐️

♥ 1

jordan.harris28d ago

I think Lottie Woad and Leona Maguire are going to be up there for Europe, and if it’s not Nelly, Lauren Coughlin for Team USA

donaghcorby199730d ago

I prefer Thomas personally. More of a big game player!

antonymmartin8431d ago

Huge pressuee on JT to perform now

bfrey5832631d ago

Yes. JT has not been a top player for a long time. Gerard could be a fixture on the teams. Give him the experience.

bfrey5832631d ago

Good pick. Going for the future. Same reason Gerard should have been picked over JT.

antonymmartin8432d ago

100 per cent the right move. The kid is a star and the PC will give him invaluable experience ahead of the Ryder Cup in ireland next year

jamesshearman2332d ago

Great pick! He’ll be a big part of USA teams for years to come

bfrey5832631d ago

Another gutless PGA tour call.

taniles13132d ago

I watched the video and it wasn't clear that he had touched the sand. Just like replays in other sports, there has to be conclusive evidence to rule against the standing situation.

glennmwells33d ago

There was definitely an impression in the sand. I agree there’s a lot of scrutiny on these guys already, but he definitely grounded his club in the bunker. How can you not penalize him for that after some others called this year? Fair is fair. The worst part is that Viktor had to know he did it and didn’t call the penalty on himself! Questions his character.
