    This thing is over right as it began.  It's time to stop letting the home team set up the golf course.  This is going to make it 5 blowouts in a row.  Last great one was 2012 at Medinah.

    Ridiculous comment. What has the set up to do with it
     Same for both
     Put your ball in play reward. Miss then punishment. It's how golf is at every level.

    USA missed a trick here. Bryson would have elevated this team

    Each team sets up the course to play to their strengths.  Euros make the rough extremely long and penal.  US makes the rough short so they can bomb and gouge.  Something in the middle would be more entertaining and maybe not have it decided by Saturday.

    Have you seen the score. It's far from over now USA are now making putts.
    Again why is rough suitable to Europe and penal to you . It's penal to everyone. Don't go into it golf isn't about hitting the ball 350 in any direction and getting away with it. Hit the fairway no matter how long or short your tee shot is. Simple . These are the best players in the world and have to play like it to win.

    Oh for sure.  I get it.  Euros drive it more accurately and US are better with the short wedges so they both set it up accordingly.  I just think it would be more entertaining if a neutral party set up the course.  But yeah, if US can win 3 out of 4 here it may be closer than it looked earlier.

    The finishing stretch with 16,17,18 are great.  Drivable par 4, long par 3 and a par 5 to finish.  Perfect for match play.

    Oh man Rahm is just incredible.  3rd chip in today.  Insane.

    5-3 would be a lot better than 5.5-2.5

    Yep.  JT essentially playing 2 on 1 right now.  Nice touch from NBC to ignore the Homa/Clark v Rose/McIntyre match for an hour.  This coverage is just awful.

    We are lucky here the coverage is first class. This is a great ending to the day either way

    It's so bad here.  They're just straight up not showing so many shots in these matches coming down to the wire.  Just horrible. I may have to track down the world feed for the rest of the weekend.
