Were Bethpage’s green blames for Loss of SH.BA?

In the week since the US team Squeezing Ryder Cup loss in EuropeA number of theories have appeared in terms of Who – or what – is to blame. A repeated topic: Green speeds in Bethpage Black.

At the US team press conference on Sunday, US captain Keegan Bradley admitted that he “made a mistake” With his courses-raising directives that included the movement of the legs and the famous Bethpage cutting, which inadvertently played in Europe.

Another problem? “The greens were as soft as I have ever seen greens without rain,” Bradley said. “Especially here, it can become pretty strong, and they never strengthened. We didn’t want the green to be like this soft.”

“We needed to make more strokes,” said the election of Captain Justin Thomas, who went 2-2-0. “This is what he needed for Keegan; he needed us to make more strokes.”

While Bradley declined to blame anyone, but for the issues of Americans, Vice President Jim Furyk said American players suspected that the Greens were running at the required 12.5 speed in Stimpmetri.

“We were told that they were 12 and a half in Stimp,” Furyk said in front of this week’s constellation tournament & Friends at PGA Tour Champions. “I think this was the demand. We were told that they stimulated it in the morning. Our players one by one didn’t think they reached it. I didn’t have a stimulus in my hand to really confirm it, nor let me hit a kick like a vice -president. This is a rule. So I can’t tell you because I would like to hit.

“The boys found it difficult to get strokes in the hole and seemed to be a little gloomy,” Furyk continued. “I think the request was always there to set the less harsh golf course, but I think believing that the greens would be stronger. I know we got some mid -week rain, but they were really soft when we arrived. So it’s probably a little matter.

The fastest greens should have played in the advantage of the US team.

“I think historically we play faster greens in PGA Tour than (Europeans) (in the World DP tour),” Bradley said after Saturday with four cannons, which Europeans won 3-1. “Of course when we move on to their British Open, the green are significantly slower than we play in an average week. I think how British Open, they are about 10, 10 and a half, maybe 11. For us, when we play faster greens, they generally speed while the week continues.
