Talk:2006 Ryder Cup

message: There's not a lot of point updating the scores whilst in play.  Wikipedia isn't an up-to-the minute sports service.  Surely an update once per day (at most) is enough?  MikesPlant 16:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Just for the record guys, Henrik Stenson made the winning putt, not Luke Donald. Shuyin05 15:51, 24 September (UTC)
And Luke Donald made the putt to ensure Europe retained the trophey, not Howell.
There's no point saying "just for the record" without evidence (in an unsigned post, no less). See the order of events above, and Stenson's BBC interview confirming that Donald won the Cup. Js farrar 16:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Read down - it lists two players as securing the 14. Js farrar 16:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Europe's retention of the trophy was sealed when David Howell conceded his win over Brett Wetterich, and the win was certain when Luke Donald beat Chad Campbell. However, the records of the tournament only take account of concluded matches, not guaranteed minimum halves from matches in a dormie situation, and so the records credit Donald with ensuring that Europe retained the trophy and rookie Henrik Stensonwith guaranteeing the victory, Europe's third in succession.
I think this will avoid wikipedia standing in contradiction to official records in years to come, but maintains the correct observations of JSF.  I'll post that later unless there is a concensus here to the contrary.  Kevin McE 17:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: If you want to argue, here you go

message: On another point entirely - one of the BBC commentators annoyed me by complaining the Americans never smiled. He was right, but he didn't have to point it out! And why is there no mention of Tiger Woods' caddy dropping his 9-iron in the lake! :-) I did like McGinley's gesture of conceding JJ Henry's (his opponent) putt on the last - leaving that match all-square (recorded in this article). It did mess up the records a bit though, as otherwise Europe would have had a record win! I also like the way Darren Clarke's opponent (Zach Johnson), after missing his putt to win the 16th hole, did not make Darren Clarke putt out to halve the hole and win the match, but immediately picked up Darren Clarke's ball marker, conceding the putt and the match. Great sportsmanship. Carcharoth 22:15, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Explanations of some of the above has been added to the article. Please expand/improve where needed. Carcharoth 22:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explanations added 

message: I've added a format section, explaining or linking to matchplay, singles and team play (foursomes and four-balls). Maybe this can be tweaked and added to other Ryder Cup articles, including the main one at Ryder Cup? Carcharoth 11:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh. Ryder Cup#Format does a great job already. I should check next time! :-) Carcharoth 11:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format section added 

message: The correct score for this match is 5&4. Casey/Howell were dormie 5 after 13 holes. Casey, with the honour, holed in one at the 14th. Since Cink did not take his tee shot at this hole the hole was halved, hence 5&4. See decision 2-3/2: "The handshake between the players is deemed to represent an agreement to concede each player's next stroke." so strictly speaking Cink scored 1 too.
