Same as Shatner for me
3-1 Europe with the English pair to lose
I'd take 2.5-1.5 if the opening pair only tie

2-2 for me.
USA to win matches 1 and 3
Europe to win 2 and 4.

Not long to go! I'm off in a minute to Sainsburys for my bacon, sausages and French stick before heading home for my customary pre Ryder Cup lunch and settling in to the sofa for the rest of the day.
Good luck with your bets everyone, just a few small match bets for me and I haven't had the chance to random guess study the pairings yet.

The teams for the morning foursomes are out and I think its already advantage USA. I don't think Faldo has got it right and I think team USA have got it spot on.
I am amazed to see that Europe seem to be favourites in all but the 1st match out and I hope to take advantage of some generous pricing in the betting markets.
Obviously I want Europe to win the Ryder cup but I always bet with my head and not my heart.
Match 1 - Mickelson/Kim v H'ngton/Karlsson -
Karlson is the man on form here and I expect Harrington to handle the pressure situation far better than Mickelson who's form in the Ryder cup is poor. Mickelson is not a good foursomes player and more suited to the risk reward of fourball.
Verdict - Harrington & Karlson to win - 2.32
Match 2 - Leonard/Mahan v Stenson/Casey
I don't think this is a good pairing for the Europeans. Casey is out of form and his putting is suspect.
Verdict - Leonard & Mahan to win - 2.66
Match 3 - Cink/Campbell v Rose/Poulter
Rose & Poulter will be worn down by these two who are ultra consistant. To win they will need to get on fire and I cant see it. They should not be favourites in the match.
Cink & Campbell to Win - 2.42
Match 4 -Perry/Furyk v Westwood/Garcia
What a match this is going to be. Perry is playing the golf of his life at nearly 50 and has a brilliant record of getting the job done when the pressure is on. Furyk has recently come back to his best form and when he gets hot. Garcia is for me the best in the world at the moment playing some outstanding golf. Westwood is Mr consistant and if only he could putt. I expect this to be a very close match which is why I am amazed that Europe are the big odds on favourites. I think USA will win what will be a very close match and with favorable odds I will be lumping on
Perry& Furyk to Win - 2.96 -
Thes are just my opinions and I will happily be shot down if I get it all wrong.
Chris, you seem to be overlooking the fact that the USA have an abysmal record at foursomes over the last decade. I predict 3.5/0.5 to team Europe after the mornimg's play  True Ralph it is not something I have taken into consideration which may be to my cost. but I still stand by my picks. |

You can watch it if you are a skybet customer.
You have to enter a promotional code and they will send you a link to watch it apparently.
