So many media storylines going already.

First, Peter Willett's hilarious article about what Europe must do to win, including:

“For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up. They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and p**** beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.

They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini- erection inducing ‘mashed potato,’ hoping to impress their cousin. “They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.

“Team Europe need to silence these cretins quickly.


Then there's Phil Mickelson putting his foot in his mouth and getting the week off to an awkward start.
Enough about that already. The captains don't really make that much of a difference. They're grown men, at least they're supposed to be, and they don't need to be motivated. He needs to quit blaming coaches to the media and just play.

Yahoo Sports trying to stir up more controversy with this headline:U.S. Ryder Cup hopes rest on Tiger's and Phil's master plan

No mention of Davis Love, the actual captain and of course, neither Tiger or Phil has any 'master' plan.

I'd like to see the team send Phil's whiny ass back to Calf for undermining him and the team. Almost wish Europe would win again.

Im not a big fan of Phil and they certainly need to play better, but there is strategy in team golf and Watson failed to recognize it. i know if I'm switching golf balls (when playing alternate shot), the ball reacts differently and I need to figure out how to adjust to it.

Trotting that story out now, in front of those journalists just itching for some controversy, was beyond stupid, imo, and does nothing but create unneeded friction for this Cup.

I don't know the exact rules for the alternate shot in Ryder Cup play, but I'd bet that other options were available for him and Tiger than just him having to play Tiger's preferred ball. They lost the first match 2 and 1. Blaming it on the ball or the captain is immature. Publicly saying that 2 years later is unforgivable. What a complete jerk. He'll probably win every match he's in.
 
I agree he should just keep his mouth shut, but that is phil. The ball can play a big affect though. Especially to guys that are way more pinpoint with approach shots than I am.
 
Isnt Phil Mickelson a bonafide asshole? Could have sworn I've read a couple different places that he's the least liked golfer.
 
U.S. kicking booty this morning. Could sweep all four points.

4 - 0 US after morning rounds.

5 - 3 after Day One
