Incredible from Scheffler but what a boring last day from a watching perspective

A display of great mental strength from Scheffler, for sure. Rory had a couple of chances which might have got him and the crowd really going had he taken them - a real shame that he didn’t. As you say, it wasn’t a great watch.
 
I genuinely think Europe's team is looking better than the Yanks at the moment

Really don't think the US team is that good
If we can handle the fans I fancy us to retain and retain fairly easily

Their top players are better than our top players and they have more of them, but I think our depth is greater.
The crowd is going to be the deciding factor imo, if Europe can handle the heckling they win.
