September 30, 2018 - Ryder Cup Singles: Rory McIlroy vs Justin Thomas

On the eve of the 2023 Ryder Cup, we go back to the final day of the last Ryder Cup played in Europe. The 2018 competition was 10-6 in favor of the Euros heading into Sunday and play began with as good of a singles match as you'll get at the Ryder Cup. Rory McIlroy, ranked 6th in the world, faced Justin Thomas, ranked 4th in the world, in a match both teams hoped would set the tone for the rest of the day. We went back to watch that 2018 singles match and look back on Thomas' 1-up win. Here's some of what we discuss after seeing it again:

• Who was on those two teams compared to this year, including world-beater at the time Francisco Molinari.
• The setup and home course advantage Europeans are so great at.
• Was that first hole one of Justin Thomas' best-ever?
• Rory being Rory on the greens at big moments.
• Rahm vs Tiger in singles was the nail in the coffin for the US.
