  Yes we started it great plenty of birdies, very nice comeback of Rich and Becky as back started, sad they had so much unluck on many putts and various lipouts, if not the game could of been different. Very good shots by my pard Alex particularly on approaches and solid putting that helped my play a lot :) Thank u all mates, enjoyed it!

  I hoped that this would not happen, but it did. Jmoney2224 has not answered anybody since a few days before the competition started. I hope he is well!

  In this case, a replacement is necessary. I made a few rules for this kind of situation before the competition even started. They were:

  - Confirmation of the continued absence of the respective player by the team's captain and 2 more players of the respective team OR the team's captain and the player's playing partner for at least 5 days during the current game mode without previous notice.

  - Replacement player is choosen by the team's captain and needs to be from the final qualifying list

  - Replacement player needs to confirm within 24 hours that he is willing and able to play all forthcoming rounds

  All these steps are done now and the official replacement for jmoney2224 is jlucky3333, maybe because of the name ;-) In case of any more serious trouble with any participant, please send me and your team's captain a private message.

  Cheers,

  Hans

  Awesome match, I hope my live commentary in the chat was fine. ROW came out of the gates way too slowly and reached the turn with 2down at just 4 under Par. The heat turned up then, Peter and I went on to birdie ALL holes of the back 9 for a total of -13. The better team won though, -8 on the back  was good enough for a -14 total for team USA, congratulations!

  Cheers, Hans

  Wow, great match, well played by both teams. Sets up 2 big matches this weekend, hope all works out that we can watch them live. Although i must say, i caught tail end of todays match, and waiting for the next thread to give a live update was really cool. Well done.   GO USA

  That WAS a GREAT match Hans...top rate shots hit by all 4 players...at least one birdie on 17 of the 18 holes (#9). That was absolutely the BEST match i've ever had the pleasure to be a part of and my partner (JUlcky3333) and I wish you both the best in the rest of the Cup

  cheers!

  Bigknight said it all. That was the most fun in a match i have ever played. I was sitting on my seat all the way, LMAO. This game of course could have gone either way by all the great shots we all hit. Being my first Ryder Cup ever, this is why i play on WGT, this will definitely give a spark back to this game, a match like this. Hans and Ujjbnjk was a great game and was very enjoyable. And thanks to my partner Bigknight, he was very solid through the hole match. GREAT MATCH and well played all.

  Thanks, James

  BTW  GO USA
