Open, Ryder Cup

Is it worrying for the Ryder Cup that so many Americans are doing so well at the Open and comparatively few Europeans?

A lot can change between now and the Ryder Cup. I also havent seen much of Le Golf National but the little I saw seemed to make it seem like it plays much differently from Carnoustie.

What may be more worrying is the new American comaraderie as evidenced by the frat house seven.

Well, I got it wrong, didn't I. Italian first and two Brits joint second. But I take your point about the American camaraderie. Totally different event and totally different way of scoring, so who knows? Where is 2022 in Italy being played? What sort of course is it?

How many of the Americans at the top of the Open leaderboard will make the team and how many of the Europeans ? It seems to me that some of the European stalwarts were right up there whereas some of the US guys are maybe on the margin of selection ? That seems to me a healthier situation for the US than the Europeans.

Match play at this level is largely a toss up on any given 18 hole match. It's mostly what makes the Ryder Cup so much fun.


Well, that and the razzing... you English bastards!!!! :)

You're all English to us Yanks, even Sean, the expatriate former Yank.


I sometimes wish someone would sit down and write a little treatise on English vs Welsh vs Scottish vs Northern Ireland vs Ireland vs Canada/Australia/the rest. They don't teach us that stuff in the former colonies.......
