Hero Cup

This Fri, Sat, and Sunday. Any interest in this? GB & I vs Continental Europe, previously called the Seve cup.

Excited to see Shane and Seamus play some matchplay! The time difference of +4 hours makes it difficult to watch (for me).

Will probably dip in and out - Sky are showing all 3 days I believe.

I like the fact that everyone gets to play in each session but it's really just a friendly/practice event for the Ryder cup, right? (obviously without some of the big boys).

I read that the event gets no ranking points but prize money is 125K each if you are on the winning team and 75K each for the losing team. Not enough for Rory to get out of bed for but nice enough all the same 😉

I was expecting Lowry & Power to team up.

I think everyone thought lowry and power would play together. Disappointing

There's 2x rounds of foursomes on Saturday. Still likely they'll get paired once. Tommy being selfish and making sure he has the best chance to open with a win.

tommy is probably regretting that decision now. 3 down after 9. It’s hardly Lowry’s golf that’s letting them down!!!!!!

Power 2 up already. Delighted to see that. A good performance here will cement his place in the ryder cup and really help his career!

Lowry clawed one back and has a couple of birdies on back 9 now. Can't afford to lose another hole.

Good fight back by the GB&I team to get halves in 2 matches they were down in. Great win 4&3 for Power and McIntyre. Good battle back by Shane and Tommy but ultimately lost 1 down.

3 - 2 to Europe
