We might just make double figures and avoid a record defeat tomorrow.

I'm not sure there's 5 points in that singles line up although the Americans left out on the course once its won might take their eye off the ball.

And that’s that. Brilliant from the muscled up p***k

[Distant Doonhamer]

Hinted at a bit of a fightback but predictably we’re likely to be no better off than we were 5 hours ago.

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

Not losing the session. Progress

11-5 overnight then.

12-5 once you factor McIlroy into the equation. 

[Mark Connolly]

I just can't see where we can get 9 points tomorrow (or 8.5 if we can sneak a half tonight).

You could make a case for maybe 5 or 6 if some folk get a fast start, but even if some of them find form out of nowhere, the yanks have all played bloody well all week, and surely can't all shite the bed

[Distant Doonhamer]

I’d imagine Rory will win 6&5 tomorrow and tell us all how happy he is with his game.

As pumped as he is, poor show from Lowry to be chucking his putter about the green when there’s others to come.  

[D Angelo Barksdale]

Rory to shoot 66 and beat Harris English with the US already on 17 points and Paul McGinley to tell us it sets him up nicely for Augusta in April.

He probably knew there was no chance the matches behind were coming up the 18th.

The record since the modern format began after Saturday is 11-5 in 2004 so we equal that.

18 1/2 9 1/2 is the record horsing in the modern era. USA in 1981 and Europe in 04 and 06. I think we need to be looking at 4 1/2 points as a target tomorrow so we don't set a new record for shitness

It's pointless trying to predict the final score without knowing who's playing who but I'm going 19-9. It wouldn't shock me if the Americans got to 20 though. 

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

If Europe can get a 6-6 tie or scrape a win in the singles tomorrow they won't have completely embarassed themselves

[DeeTillEhDeh]

This match reminds me how the US used to win Ryder Cups - relentless chipping and putting accuracy.

The Europeans just can't match them.

[Mark Connolly]

Butch, I love you, I love how you want to give us a chance, but it's done

I find it funny that Murray has to advertise Sky's dogshit shows when it returns after a break.

Kelly Cates had to advertise about 7 of them at the end of the Liverpool game before they went to an advert break on Main Event as it swapped back to the golf.

In the modern era I wonder what the record is for players getting zero points in a Ryder Cup match. We currently have McIlroy, Westwood, Fitzpatrick, Poulter, Wiesberger and Casey I think. Happy to be corrected on this.

The fact I wouldn't be on any of them tomorrow says it all. Half the team with a chance of ending up pointless. Poulter has an unbeaten singles record to protect so maybe he'll be motivated enough to sneak something I suppose.
