Victor Hovland is not playing on Saturday afternoon. So ‘envelope’ can be in the game on Sunday.
Envelope? it Ryder Cup Protocol If one is unable to play Sunday bachelors due to damage. Instead of a team that cost the point, the parties agreed that each captain, before the event, chose a player to sit – and the name of this player will be placed in an envelope just to be discovered in the emergency case.
This rule can now be called. Hovland was announced to play on Saturday afternoon competition with four balls for Europeans, then crashed (and replaced by Tyrrell Hatton) Due to an injury to the neck – and there were at least a few questions if Hovland could play Sunday.
Thinking was raised in NBC broadcasting by analyst Paul McGinleywho is also working in a counseling role for the team of Europe.
“Yes, the scary envelope may have to get into the game,” McGinley said in the broadcast.
“Hopefully this will not happen. We have received a great team of physios with us. They were with us on our practical journey, as well as capable of all players, a lot of confidence in them, so they will work their magic this afternoon.”
Saturday morning, Hovland and partner Robert Macintre defeated Americans Scottie Scheffler AND Russell Henley1 up, in a fourth match. Later, Hovland told reporters that he had problems with his neck for the last two months, and that he took the sedative in the 7th hole on Saturday and received physics treatment in the 10th hole. He said he then hit the shots in the post -match string, and he felt he could not play on Saturday afternoon.
“I didn’t want to risk it for the match if it worsened and couldn’t go on,” Hovland said, “especially in four balls when you were hitting every blow. I had to withdraw from the travelers’ champion earlier because of the same issue. the last few months.
“I’m going to get a treatment this afternoon and tonight and I hope I will be good for bachelors tomorrow.”
Twice, ‘envelope’ has been in the game.
In 1991, American Steve suffered ribs in a car accident a few days before the incident. He sat down on Saturday afternoon, but regenerated the damage and the call was made he couldn’t go on Sunday – and David Gilford’s name withdrew from the envelope.
Two years later, a European was injured. Sam Torrance was dealing with an infected toe, and he had to sit on Sunday – but this time, American Lanny Wadkins volunteer, and the envelope never opened.
