    I'd go for Europe to win, especially with Montgomerie and Garcia's record at Ryder.

    I am going to place my vote for Europe too
    Mainly because they seems to have the edge in this competition with a lot experienced golfers who have a good record in past Ryder Cup events


    (gr8liverpoolfan and Peter Crouch is a footballer not a golfer):)

    I was looking at the stats last night, the USA on paper have the better golfers, but Europe have bucketloads more experience. I think a lot will depend on the first fourball of the morning. If Monty and and Harrington can beat Woods and Furyk, then it'll be a huge confidence boost.

    I honestly don't give a crap even though I love golf. The fact that its not even on TV in the country its being played in is a joke.



    lol :rolleyes:

    I sense a little bitterness :D
    Go to the pub and watch it, at least it's a good excuse for daytime drinking ;)

    I can't drink in the morning and the pubs in my village don't take "water" orders...lol

    They have three kinds of drinks

    Guinness Bottle
    Guinness Pint (Slightly Chilled)
    Guinness Pint (Warm)

    And if you nurse it, you're outta there ;)

    RYDER CUP LIVE!
    No wonder Europe are smiling at the K Club. They're up in three matches, all square in the other and Tiger's struggling

    Has to be Europe for the cup as they have more experience in playing in this crap weather.

    yfs1 I agree that its a joke they arent showing this on Irish TV. Wasnt this event being planned since 1996? I guess they forgot to include the TV stations.
