On Friday’s Day One at the Ryder Cup
Brandel Chamblee: “I don’t know when the
United States will see another day like this. It was extraordinary to see
youth trump experience.”
On Nicolas Colsaerts’ Day One Performance at the
Ryder Cup
Frank Nobilo: “Star of the future. When the
bulk of the crowd was going for that final twosome for America, he stood up and
stood tall.”
On Bubba Watson’s Standing Ovation on his
Opening Drive in the Afternoon Session
Rich Lerner: “The Masters this is not.”
Frank Nobilo: “America had to wait a whole
session before they saw their reigning Masters and U.S. Open champion. It
was almost like something was stolen from them…When Bubba went to the
first tee, I have never seen this in golf. I’ve never seen a player
hit like that. But what that did to the crowd, they had waited all day to
see a Masters Champion and a U.S. Open champion stand on that first tee.
It will be hard-pressed to see a moment that is actually better than
that. That changed the whole afternoon in my book.”
Brandel Chamblee: “This was raw talent,
ridiculous talent. Insane talent with unseen emotion, unseen
exuberance. Ever. This might be the day that the U.S. needed to
sort of change and give them a new perspective.”
On Keegan Bradley’s Day One Performance at the
Ryder Cup
Brandel Chamblee: “He was money today.”
Chamblee: “Now Phil, he has kicked a lot of butts
in his career. How many do you think he has patted in his career?
Not many.”
Frank Nobilo: “He’s different. He
is not trying to copy anyone else.”
Nick Faldo: “His intensity. He turns it
up and he plays better. Very few guys can do that. You’ve got to be
able to control the intensity. He really does show it. We always say
you’ve got to ‘rev the engine the right amount.’ This
guy takes it to 15,000 revs and plays great with it.”
David Feherty: “There is more meat on a
butcher’s pencil than there is on Keegan Bradley, yet he has this
incredible energy that is infectious.”
On the Passing of the Torch in American Golf
David Feherty: "We saw the passing of a torch, and
I think the torch was a part of a giant campfire that Davis Love built in a
cage somewhere last night, where he kept Bubba Watson and threw him pieces of
raw meat and then unleashed him this afternoon.”
On the European Team Heading into Day Two
Nick Faldo: “I think you have to go back to
your team room and be really honest. Olazabal has got to look at the guys
and say ‘Look, I really need the eight best guys tomorrow, and I might
have to play my top eight guys for the whole day.’ That is what we
did back in the good old days.”
On what Colin Montgomerie would say in the European team
room
Colin Montgomerie: “He has got to be very brave
– and I had to be brave as well – to leave out people
tomorrow. Tomorrow is the most important day of the Ryder Cup.
Tomorrow will probably decide who will win the Ryder Cup….Tomorrow, the
Europeans have to do what the exactly what the Americans did to us. Hole
putts, silence the crowd and win at least 5-3 tomorrow or this is going to very
difficult for the Europeans to have any chance on Sunday, knowing the strength
of the American singles.”
On Westwood and Kaymer’s struggles on
Friday’s Day One
Colin Montgomerie: “For Lee Westwood not to
make a birdie out there today is shocking, as of course, Martin Kaymer the
same. For that pair not to make a birdie today when there was birdies
flying around all over the place is astonishing.”
On the Decision to Sit Donald, Garcia and Poulter in
the Afternoon on Day One
Colin Montgomerie: “We have a great captain here,
no question about it. And he has not made a mistake. What happened
today is our top performers did not perform. And the youth were
beaten well today. The Europeans played OK. The Americans played
very well. And all credit to them.”
Montgomerie: “There are 20 points to play for
here. We have only played eight. There is a marathon to go
here. That is what I would tell my team, ‘there is a marathon to
go.’”
On the Decision to Sit Tiger Woods for Day Two Morning
Matches
Brandel Chamblee: “It was definitely the right
move on so many different levels. I have never seen Tiger Woods worse than
he was this morning from technical aspect. He was tangled up, missing
shots to the left and to the right. I don’t have any doubt that
mentally, he was a mess as well. There is also the issue with his knee.”
Frank Nobilo: “It does a lot of good
things. From a team point of view, you are telling the team, ‘we
believe in all 12 guys.’ That is a great stamp in the right direction.”
Nick Faldo: “It’s no big deal to
me. Give him a rest. He is not great at foursomes. He can
practice or chill out or whatever, and stick him back in the afternoon.”

When the dice have been sizzling, craps was a celebration, and once they weren’t, everybody suffered collectively. Blackjack, by contrast, is a game that pits every participant individually 1xbet korea in opposition to the dealer and sometimes one another.
