The show is "what it is", edited for entertainment. But, when all of the cameras and production people are there, in addition to the hosts and other players, there must be an incredible amount of pressure for scratch players to start sh@nking shots. Last night those guys were terrible with their wedges. I kind of like watching some of the over-priveliged arrogant guys hit skunky shots.
It is entertaining.
Yea, its kinda funny that they are given an opportunity like this and they are playing like ****......I know if I was playin I'd be holing out every time!! Or at least I'd do better than what these guys are playin....and im a 12 hdcp!!

Good to see TJ pulled off a W in the elimination challenge! But then he got a little emotional
Dodge, I would put money on any of the BB players if the were facing you in the same situation! You have to realize that they have never played that course before and there are about 10 camera's watching there every move on every shot. Not to mention the pressure of having to pull-off a great shot or you have to go home.
Americans are gagging all over themselves. Euros are watching from the stands. It will be bad if there only a few Americans left and all the Euro team still in the competiton ....Yikes...

Woah, woah, woah....i didnt mean I am a better player, because by far I am way below their level. I meant that I would, in their situation, think happy thoughts, imagine I'm just out on a regular round with no pressure....they let it get in their head to much....golf is more mental than physical.....

While I'm not saying that you would or wouldn't... this is easier said than done.
They're lucky it's "USA vs Europe"... if they let this canadian on the course with them, i'd be force-feeding them all handfuls of humble pie right now...
I think i'd like to see a Warren vs Paul final. They seem the two most mature (skill-wise) on the course by far

Oh, and they're the oldest...
I'll be there for the canadian big break for sure!!!
Plus, if they had it up here it would be a lot cheaper. (monopoly money)
My pick to win is Paul.
The final will be Paul vs. Thomas.
My pick for the Finals is T.J (USA) vs. Thomas (Europe) with T.J. winning the exemptions.
Did you see the one from this week, with the alternate shot matchplay? T.J. (who I like and think is a really cool guy) hit two of the absolute WORST shots under pressure I think I've ever seen. Seriously, he chunked two shots from the fairway from 100+ out, leaving both 40 yards short. It was really, really ugly.
The wierd thing was, these were full wedge shots, and he set up with his feet real close together, very upright, almost as if he were hitting a short pitch or something. I couldn't figure out what he was up to watching him get set, then *CHUNK*. Next time, same thing. The second time I was watching him set up thinking, "bro, you're setting up to hit the same chunker you just did last hole," and sure enough *CHUNK*.
Really, two god-awful shots in a row. I think it's all mental with him - he's got the game, but he gets way too emotional and doesn't settle down and focus in clutch/pressure situations.
I started watching the series at the tale end of II. I must admit I like the show. This year the concept is very cool but I have to say I'm quite ashamed of the U.S. They definitely are not the same level of players as the euro team. Watching reminds me too much of ryder cup.

The Ryder Cup Pre-Seve or post-Seve?
Because it was a blowout just about every time until 1983 (with the exception of '29,'33, '57, and '69 - the first three the Euros won, the fourth was a tie)...
