Ryder Cup: Faces of European Joy and American Heartbreak
Europe completed one of the greatest comebacks in Ryder Cup history yesterday. Of course, a great comeback also means somebody crumbled. Those somebodies were the Americans. After the tournament ended, my brother sent me a text that said, “Write a post about what a choking. Terrible. Worst. Captains. Pick. Ever. Bleeping Bleep of a bleep hat Jim Furyk.” I think he was upset. I also think that sums up how most people felt in the aftermath of Team USA’s collapse this weekend. Let’s take a look at the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
Europeans celebrate and then start poppin’ bottles.
The most underrated story of the European victory is Rory’s giant clock. That’s gotta be a flask too, right?
The Americans prematurely celebrated. Sergio Garcia had reason to celebrate, but blew the high five.
Phil. Just. Phil.
Jim Furyk dropped the mic, like a boss. Then he broke out his angry T-Rex impression.
It wouldn’t be a golf post without Tiger. Here he is completely unimpressed with the press conference. Perhaps someone was asking why he conceded a putt that cost bookies millions?
Finally, the unbridled joy of youth.

The whole conceding putts thing is perplexing to me. It matters if they hit it or not and nothing is ever given unless its on the rim. McDowell did it on 17 too and that putt was not a given.

America is not “clutch”.

I was there on Thursday and Friday. Crowd and atmosphere were unreal, felt like a Super Bowl. Could only imagine the air being sucked out of that place on Sunday afternoon. DL3 made a huge mistake with that Sunday lineup, I’m sure that was discussed earlier today.

Yeah the “Here’s a golf gif” post provided the above mentioned analysis in a hard hitting fashion.

I blame Colin Montgomerie.

Winning is a byproduct of luck. America has a higher WAR than Europe, and that’s all that matters.

Amy Mickelson was standing next to me for a bit. After all these years, that chick still gets it done.
Traveled from Youngstown, Ohio..the armpit of the midwest.

You really don’t know what Rory’s giant clock is for?

Exactly! Perfect example of the Ryder Cup “coverage” here.
He almost missed his tee time because he forgot he was on Central Standard Time. Showed up 11 minutes before he teed off.
Or maybe he is a Flava Flav fan.

Still don’t get his excuse for that…. if he thought he was on Eastern Time wouldn’t he have shown up an hour earlier than he wanted?

I heard that he said he was watching the Golf Channel and they had the times listed and it said his match started at 12:25. Those were Eastern Times, locally his match started at 11:25. So I guess he thought he had an extra hour.
I really dont get it either, you would think an asst. captain or his caddy or somebody would have told him the correct time.

I think we get trapped into thinking that golfers are smarter than other athletes, but in reality, they’re dumb as fuck too.

At first glance I was pretty sure the caption said c-o-c-k instead of ‘clock’. I thought to myself, ‘well, this is going to be interesting’.

Why is it that every broadcast network must tell their viewers when things start on EASTERN TIME. Are the people in the East too dumb to do the math?
Do we have to tell people that the GB-SEA game starts at 8:30pm ET? It actually starts at 6:30pm PT in Seattle.
Why tell viewers for the Texas Okie State game the telecast starts at 7:30pm ET? It starts at 6:30pm CT.
Can the people on the East Coast not do the math?
