OK - so I'm looking forward to watching this - most Golf is fairly dull as who cares who wins really?
But in this , you can root for "your side" and get more involved in the whole event and it gets very exciting towards the end especially!
I wondered who else on both sides of the pond will be watching and how you think it will go?
Will the partisan crowds have an influence or will Europe's greater experience count for more?

Love to be proved wrong though! | I'm not so sure that Tiger's presence would guarantee a victory.............actually, his Ryder Cup record is not very good, something like 10-13-2 if I remember correctly.
And yes, I am a Tiger fan.  |

We're not good at this and we're not sure why. See you next year when we think that adding Tiger will somehow change the results in a way it hasn't before.

USA 5 1/2
Europe 2 1/2
That's promising, but still lots of golf to be played. |

I'm not so much drawn into the "Go USA" aspect, I just like to watch good golf.
