It seems to me best if everyone plays once, and your key 4 men play twice. There is also the dilemma of older player getting more recovery time or newbie playing early to calm his nerves.
The above set of pairings looks logical. The other 1 could be:-
Hovland-Hojgaard
Hatton-Rahm
Rose-MacIntyre
McIlroy-Lowry
Ever the optimist, I put a bet on EUROPE to lead after DAY 1, still lead after DAY 2, and to win outright.
4/1 with SkyBet.
I just think/hope, we've got an edge in the FourSomes, and a bit in the FourBalls, so hopefully get a lead after DAY 1, and hang on.
I think the Americans have more strength in depth for the singles, but you always seem to get one of the lower ranked players taking out a big gun, so we'll see.
What do you think?
Should be a great watch hopefully!
I had thought we were favourites in pairings 1 and 4, 2nd favourites in 2, and a long shot in 3.
Whereas, at least so far, we have been awesome
