Zach Johnson shouldn’t have used the pairings of Spieth/Thomas and Xander/Cantlay that had success in 2021?
No. He should have seen that Spieth had no form and changed something up. Xander just seemed to play like chicken shite, but Jordan was dog shite. To me, the poor play from our top guys was indicative of the leadership. They had no fire. The Euros were playing like it was the biggest event of their lives.

If everyone on the team did as well as JT at scoring points the US brings home the cup in a blowout.

Again, again and again. SG is not what matters. You’re not playing the course, you’re playing the opponent. Beating the opponent on the hole is the only important stat.
I get what you’re saying here, but you don’t control what your opponent does. If you hit it in the shite on a par 5, then your opponent hits it OB and makes double but you make bogey, it’s not better golf than someone making birdie but losing to an eagle.
Again, I agree that all that truly matters is getting points. But points can be misleading for how well someone plays, especially since 4 of the matches are team matches, not individual ones.

If you are hitting first, going in the water doesn’t give your opponent a good visual of the ball flying into the green, where as making a birdie may give him a read at a putt

What does JT's form have to do with Spieth playing like pure shite?

You’re on a hole with a difficult pin if you miss on the wrong side of a ridge….but for pros is an easy up and down from the bunker. Do you try and hit to the sucker pin or just put it in the bunker and see what your opponent tries?
Looks like shite on a SG stat, right play.

Bro look at his actual example. You are first hitting into the green. You go into the water. But then after that your opponent goes OB so you win the hole
You say that’s actually playing the hole better than going first and stiffing it to 1 foot tap in birdie then your opponent hits in for eagle so you lose
It’s asinine

You just made the argument if you are the first to play it’s better to hit into the water than put one close on the green….

Go to the wimbledon thread and let the golfers talk about golf.

Because I know how to play my opponent, and your opponent is the golf course.
Illustrates quite clearly you don’t know how to play golf, especially at a high level.

Players hit shite shots. Even the pros. Which is why you can play poorly at times and still win in match play….
I’ll ask you one last question:
Do you think it’s easier to beat Scottie Scheffler in match play or Mingo?
You are in a corner now. Because if you say the obvious here that it’s easier to beat mingo, you are simply agreeing that how your opponent plays matters a shite ton in match play results

Completely agree with that example. That’s not the example I’m using. On the par 3 17th, there were times that everyone missed way left into either the hazard or got lucky and stayed short with that impossible chip.
Also, in 4 balls, everyone is basically going for birdie all the time. If I only make 2 birdies in my fourball match, but we win, I’m not really doing my part to help the team.
Tiger had the one match in 2012 where he shot like 64, but Stricker made 2 birdies. They both get a loss but clearly Tiger was a better player than Stricker. Their opponents were Colsaerts and Westwood. Colsaerts made an eagle and 8 birdies and Westy didn’t do anything. They both get a win, but clearly one guy was more important and SG would show that.

99 times out of 100 it won’t matter if Mingo is a scratch you take Scottie. If it’s a course Mingo plays a lot, plays well and has a partner that compliments his game and you give Scottie a partner who doesn’t I’m probably betting on Mingo.
