Rose always speaks well and will praise the virtues of it over the next few years. If I had been unknown winning it not so sure it would have featured in 2020 |

Reward for his enthusiasm about the sport being in the Olympics.

Over the moon for Justin. It's been a dream of his for years.
Poor form from the others not going under the pretence of health reasons. |

I still think matchplay format would be a better idea if it's to stay in the Olympics long term.
Well done Justin Rose for bringing home the gold - but in this format I'd still question what golf is doing in the olympics. |

You would actually have time to run 4 x 4 day events, two stroke play and two matchplay events, for each gender.
Only issue would be slotting it into the overall golf calendar. |

Lucas Glover missed a putt for a 59 on the PGA Tour tonight.
Last time I seen him he had a horrendous case of the yips, guess he's got through it. |

Who do you think will get the three wildcard picks for the European Ryder Cup team
I think he will pick Martin Kaymer Lee Westwood And either Russell Knox or Graeme McDowell But i think he might pick Shane Lowry |

He plays on the US Tour against most of the US team on a regular basis. It's not like he's someone who has barely played outside Europe and amassed a load of points with good placings in small European Tour events. |

Luke Donald seems to be in contention for the third pick.
Russell Knox would be a bit pissed off if true |

Donald has come from nowhere. I don't think he's done enough personally and think still think Westy, Kaymer and Knox. Pieters will just miss out.

Donald may not be in the greatest form but with 5 rookies already in the team it may not be a bad shout to put him in with Westwood and Kaymer. His Foursomes record is superb too.

I'm glad that Darren hasn't picked someone purely due to experience but who is out of form. I hadn't seen much of Thomas Pieters until the Olympics but he is obviously on form. We will just have to see how the rookies do.

Well done to all three making the team. Being Scottish I'm gutted for Knox but happy with the three. I would of been raging if Donald sneaked in

This is the most inexperienced team in years, you fear the worst but somehow the always pull it out the bag.
One of my early concerns is that Clarke won't have the bottle to drop Mcilroy he will play every game despite being out of form for most of the year |

Imagine a Mcilroy and Pieter's partnership. sounds great. I'd be more worried about Danny Willett's form than Rory |

He might though, he's already avoided picking Donald as a wildcard.

I'd be more worried about Danny Willett's form than Rory Switzerland this week he is the defending champion . Why did Danny Willet join the PGA tour but not play any events outwith the normal majors and wgc events |
