The excellent website giving past individual match results seems to have shut down - here is the archived version

https://web.archive.org/web/20161018233850/http://golf.about.com/od/teamcompetitions/a/rydercupresults.htm


For those that can, shybet's 2 or more draws on the first day seems a reasonable bet on the basis that a draw is a 5/1 chance (which seems to be backed up by the stats).  2 or more would be a 39% chance (if my sums are correct) and shy go 2-1.

Bubba Watson getting interviewed at the moment and he sounds ill - said he's been battling a cold for the past few days and that 'half the guys at the fedex last week were battling something' and that all the travelling this week doesn't help.

4 or 5 high pressure rounds in 3 days is a lot so might we see some of the US team run out of steam on Sunday?

USA currently a fairly tempting 1.98 on the machine.

Ended up playing the draw @12/1 with a view to possibly trade later.

Rambling thoughts - I don't have enough info on personalities so completely guessing on pairings.  But would think in any case that the euro team has a far higher chance of 5/5.


Rory and Justin Rose have both 5/5 the last three years (don't think 5/5 was possible in 2010 for Rory because of weather).  Who will they kick-off with though?  Molinari and Fleetwood?  Then maybe different players in the second session?  Rahm will start I would think - with Sergio?  Working with a Spanish rookie seems to bring out the best in Sergio, but is Rahm's personality too strong?  Poulter will start surely - with Stenson or Noren? 
So my guess for the Euro starting eight McIlroy, Rose, Rahm, Sergio, Poulter, Fleetwood, Noren, Molinari with only the first two looking like 5/5
 
The Speith/Reed partnership was 5/5 last year but there are recent form doubts with both but I would guess they'll get a start in the first matches and take things from there.  Koepka played 4 last year and won 3 so he will surely be playing in the first matches - with Johnson?  I'd be surprised if Woods didn't start, but with his age, the chance of him being rested must be high maybe paired with Thomas?  Phil will probably get an early start - he's a captain's pick so maybe paired with Finau so two captain's picks get a chance to justify their selection early and a rookie paired with a veteran.

So my guess for the US starting eight are Speith, Reed, Koepka, Johnson, Woods, Thomas, Mickleson, Finau without any real confidence that anyone will play five matches.
