You sure it was a woman and not Geoff Foster?Have had this on the radio and just heard one of the Americans who won their first point reply to the female reporter 'That's kind of a dumb question' to a perfectly innocuous 'you must be happy' type question. Felt really sorry for her that she couldn't call him out for being a rude tw*t.
Great isn't it!!Its that weekend where I don't listen to radio 5 because it is wall to wall golf.
Think it's about time you moved location, Gazbola, because there's a bit of a theme going on and I'm pretty certain the Beeb won't move just for you.3-1 down in the morning, 5-3 up at the end of the day. Great going so far.
Very annoying that all the BBC clips are 'Not available in your location'.
So many in the same boat, Harry.I have zero interest in golf, but for some reason I love the Ryder cup - it's given some real drama over the last couple of decades.
They do allow me to view some clips. I'm able to view clips of women's cricket.Think it's about time you moved location, Gazbola, because there's a bit of a theme going on and I'm pretty certain the Beeb won't move just for you.
Just got off the golf course........obviously not the one in Paris. Great game to play with a few mates and doesn't cost too much either these days. Looking forward to the highlights now.
:emoji_frowning2:Great isn't it!!
About normal for the Ryder cupThe great Tiger Woods on the losing side in every game he's played in so far.
They certainly have enough to pick from. Mickelson must be so close to having to depart for the senior tour too now. He's 48.Great win for Europe. Francesco Molinari winning 5 from 5 was amazing.
Can't believe there's not a single French golfer good enough to make the team.
I think the biggest mistake the Americans made was picking Woods and Mickelson; both of them lost every match they played in.
The US should have picked younger, hungrier players instead of those two.
Still have to love the guy. A true gent of the gameThey certainly have enough to pick from. Mickelson must be so close to having to depart for the senior tour too now. He's 48.
Don't really get 6 Nations (or Rugby for that matter) but Ryder Cup is the greatest single event because it is an intense 3 days and over as quickly as it starts. I think it also is intensified as its against the Yanks who come across all 'professional' and too formal and usually get beat by a European side that looks like they are having fun. I think like I have said in a previous post, it has that Football rivalry to it which everyone can get behind but that small element of respect to the sport and the opposition.I’m not a fan of playing (haven’t got the patience ever since I went round the Memorial park pitch and putt in 150 odd shots, gave up on the 16th when I was 16) or watching golf usually but every Ryder Cup I’m hooked, amazing spectacle, pound for pound arguably the ‘greatest’ sporting competition imo along with the 6 Nations and The Ashes.
Yeah. Good idea and it will get more people into the women's game.Anyone else think it would be good to include both men and women in the Ryder Cup?
Since it's a team competition it's eminently doable. The four-balls and foursomes could be one man and one woman, and the singles could be an equal number of men and women contests.
I think it would be great. Here's an article on it:
Time to let women play in the Ryder Cup
Edit: Sorry, that turned out to be a pay-per-view article. Anyway, it means I'm not the only person to consider the idea ...
It was a great interview, you can see they all loved playing with each other
No doesn’t need to be mixed.
Don’t the women have their own similar competition?
The Ryder cup is a fantastic spectacle it does not need to be changed.
