Haha I’m not angry. Just giving you a little grief. If you want my totally unnecessary opinion, I’d mix it every 3-4 mentions  ;D

Ha!!  Alright.  Your objection has been noted.

Bryson is a pretty good putter.  He putted well in big spots in other tournaments, so a one off doesn’t concern me.  The larger concern would be the reluctance with chipping

I did see him putt one that was way off the green which was odd.  Can he and Cantlay play together?  The biggest question is who Strick will pair with Bryson?  There's no way he sits in group play with his bombs off the tee. 

I was listening to PGA radio a little bit and they were quite hard on  Bryson.  They pretty much called him out for his antics and in particular when he ripped his sponsors.  Apparently he used to be a pretty fun guy to be around.  Anyway, they suggested he is capable of dialing it back a bit and will be less surly during the Ryder Cup.

Uh-oh ... I guess I'm unlikely to be a captain's pick. Damn!

Yeah, I have no idea who you pair with Bryson.  You probably don’t play him in alternate shot but I don’t think it matters in fourball.  I could see him play with Finau in that type of format
Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass.

I was mocked but I do believe Finau could sort of keep him in check.  I'll be rooting just as hard for Bryson as the rest of the guys but it's on him to adapt to the situation.  He's a tremendous player, and I get that he's a little idiosyncratic, but in team play you need that camaraderie.  My take is in general he should be having more fun out there

Can you picture a master of gamesmanship ayimg against Bryson?  Someone like Seve?   I am thinking that Sergio or Poulter could climb miles inside his head.

Bryson needs to flight his wedges and irons.   The problem is that can't be quantified out to the nth degree.

There is a difference between pairing him with someone who can keep him focused and locked in and encouraged, which may be Finau.  You implied Finau would/could threaten to beat Bryson’s a** and physically intimidate him, which was a bit silly

Finau being so chill and so nice may be more of a factor.

Totally agree. That’s what I think could be the differentiator

I fear that Bryson has rabbit ears.   And there is a portion of people attending events who will troll him just to get a response.   It isn't whether they like him or not.  It is whether they think they can invade his brain.    Think Monty or Sergio, only in 2021.   It is going to escalate until Bryson snaps, either at a fan or just steps away for a period of time.

Fair point JWags and I get your take.  Tony's chill demeanor should benefit any partner he has for Ryder Cup.  I didn't mean to imply Finau would "threaten" to beat Bryson's ass, but more that he could very easily take him out if push came to shove (so to speak).  Now this may be silly, but perhaps Bryson realizes this and doesn't want to behave like an unmitigated douchebag  because of the tiny chance Finau gets angry.  :)  Sometimes I like to think outside the box.

Who wins in a physical altercation Herman?  Or are they fake tough guys?  Brooksy??
Muggsy :
Depends on the style :
In boxing I would say De Charcuterie because he could land the knockout blow. In MMA, I would give it to Brooksy as he would be more agile. In Raslin I would say a tie since neither could get a pin

Saw that.  WTH?  Total lack of focus across the board.  All the pairings were in excellent position through 15 holes.  They better wake up or it's curtains.

Nice to see team USA women waking up in the Solheim Cup after a disastrous Saturday.  They're about to cut the lead to only down one, 6.5 to 5.5.

What in the world is happening to Team USA in the Solheim Cup?  Extremely disappointing.  Will take a miracle comeback and we have more talent.
