I mean, I know at least half of the team are playing like they've just taken up the game, but McIlroy & Poulter together again and another dose of Hatton? Jeez.

Poulter and Rory again

I presume none of the backroom staff watched Hatton this morning?

Harrington has learned nothing from the first dozen matches.

To choose Hatton over Westwood or Casey defies belief.

Did Lowry just drive the green at 1?

Yes.

[Mark Connolly]

Excellent. Solid 3 putt from there to go one down

[Biscuits]

Need a 4-0 here to have any chance

[IrishBhoy]

Tyrell Hatton!? Would be better with Ricky Hatton.

As a golf fan I'll applaud any players good shot - I genuinely believe it's bad form to whoop at or cheer bad shots.

It's on par with those arseholes screaming "In the hole" at a par 5.

Clueless morons.

I agree with you, but in general, I like Americans, and can cut them a bit of slack given the pish they’ve endured for donkeys years. The ‘get in the hole - mashed potato - you’re the man’ mob are indeed arsewipes though.

St Mirren v Aberdeen game thread for this please.

Harrington strikes me as being someone who could watch us lose 4-0 this afternoon, lose the singles 12-0 tomorrow, and in his post-match interview tell us that we played very well and only a few key putts here and there at vital times were the difference. Clearly, I don’t expect him to say ‘we’re fcuked, are playing shite, I’m away for a Guinness’, but the thing is, I actually think he’d genuinely believe that only a few putts going their way were the difference.

Lowry must eat some amount of food to be able to maintain the weight he is. He will be walking 5/6 miles a day, probably 5 days a week, and about 40 weeks of the year. You would think being that active would naturally burn a lot of calories.

He's just big boned.

I think his liquid intake may be a factor too.

I didn’t think of that actually. He looks like the kind of guy that can handle a pint or 20.

Lee Westwood has now lost 6 Ryder Cup matches in a row and hasn't won a point since the Saturday at Gleneagles in 2014.

Christ, I’m nearly old enough to remember Jack Nicklaus being regarded as a fatboy lard-arse who was disliked for challenging king Arnold Palmer. McIlroy was something of a podgy fcuker before knuckling down too. Let’s hear it for the fatboys I say. Too many Cristiano Ronaldo six-pack ultra-fit fcukers going around for my liking.

[DeeTillEhDeh]

Great putt by Hatton to win the hole.

[pozbaird]

Genuinely hope Poulter and McIlroy win their match here. Don’t want to see two Ryder Cup heroes have a total ‘mare.

f**k off Bryson you bairny b*****d. Get him fucking smashed
