the synchronicity of Justin Thomas and his caddy at 30:00 is crazy

[@robrutherfordfit]

good catch. That's amazing!

That 18th hole is the toughest tee shot I've ever seen in my life on any golf course...not sure what course this is but it's a shame not many matches made it to 18...that tee shot Thomas hit was absolutely perfect.

[@nichj487]

His shot-shape is right to left. That means his driver was a high risk shot, given the design of the fairway.

Talk about alot of talent and potential. Both of these guys can still win a bunch on tour.

[@ledoutemabite3]

It always gets me to see that their fairways are way better than most of the greens around my home

This has to probably be one of my favorite Rider cups. Justin Thomas just has it here, why cant he do it all the time in majors ffs

[@Chris-se6se]

I could watch Rory hit ball after ball because his motion, I feel, is as close to perfection as a golf swing can be. He is the best at utilizing every possible thing that a player could possibly use to increase speed and produce repeatable crisp contact

1:18 I’m very surprised at how all the Europe fans cheered for JT after his tee off. 👍🏼

[@bornuponawave]

@Sambo Jones what’s surprising? The fact that they booed the hell out of him when they announced his name…. And then cheered after his tee shot. That was surprising. You usually don’t get a cheer from the same people that booed you. And no, they paid to watch their country win the Ryder Cup.

[@nippz2831]

does a drop not count in match play or something cause if rory on the 17th dropped ball JT would get par but rory would get bogey so it makes no sense how they can end in halve

[@chriskeeler9595]

Why didn’t Rory’s drop on hole 17 count as a stroke? Pretty sure Justin got his in 4 and with a stroke Rory 5?

[@tonybeard5147]

Rory can't play a fade when he needs it! He would be almost unbeatable if he could

[@danmyers9372]

He faded it on 18 but just faded it too much. Not sure why he felt he needed to fade it there with a 3 wood. 305 to the water on a straight line? He must have felt his 3 wood could reach the water. Thomas’s incredible drive there clearly pressured Rory to try to do more than he was comfortable doing. The hole just doesn’t set up well for Rory’s normal draw.

You know... I was once asked to to keep it down at a hockey game, (I didn't.). A professional golf player demands complete silence... - A hundred, even a thousand random people, all being quiet for one guy... at a professional sporting event is kinda weird. I bet if golfers encouraged loudness and cheering when they 'hit',... most would do as well or better.

Yes. It is where you are born, not where you live. Imagine a world where teams were selected on what countries we could move to and not where we were born 😆

[@sandergoldberg4508]

@@stuarthillier2156 What you are saying is not true. Player who moved to Canada do not represent their birth nations (Milos Raonic born in Serbia, Denis Shapovalov born in Israel) I was just saying it is logical a player should represent the country in which he lives.

[@stuarthillier2156]

@@sandergoldberg4508 Shapoalov wasn't even 1 years old when he moved to Canada, and Raonic was 3 years old. They feel more Canadian than their place of birth, so it makes sense to represent Canada for both. Mcllroy was born and lived in Ireland most his life and only moved to America to play the PGA tour. Not to represent them as a country. If you use your theory, then Neymar would now play for France in the World Cup and not Brazil. It would be crazy.

[@richardpreston8440]

I’ve always thought this too but I think it’s quite difficult for them to do, without some sort of identifying mark I think it relies on them actually seeing the club head. Not to mention is quite redundant information for 99% of golfers watching as they’re playing lower lofted clubs and still hit them further than typical golfers

[@wolfiemcwolf6617]
