Ryder Cup

I have absolutely no problem at all with Weekley urging the crowd on or even staring down his opponent.

 

Even when there are others waiting to play? Poor form, sir.

 

Give me a break. The Euros played fine. The Americans played extremely well on that putt-putt course in Louisville.

 

Yeah Harrington, the best golfer in the world currently by default, played like shit. So did Garcia. It was not the best effort by a long shot.

 

OK, can we stop with the Valhalla bashing please? Yes, it's not Saint freakin' Andrews or Pebble blessed Beach, but it's a championship course and has hosted some memorable events in the last 12 years. And from the sounds of PGA officials, Valhalla will host its the next major event sooner rather than later. That's probably more of a tribute to the fan base here than the course itself, but Valhalla is no longer a TPC-style, 20-under par course.

 

Have you been there? Did you cover either of the two PGA Championship played there?
It's not Carnoustie or TPC Sawgrass tough but it's far from a putt-putt course.

 

When the Americans win, Euros like Westwood whine about how poorly they were treated. When the Euros stomp our asses, they do freaking conga lines and make cracks about how our players all have Stepford Wives. It's stupid. It goes both ways. Shut up and deal with it. Lee Westwood got his ass kicked when the Euros needed him to be a horse. It's that simple. Weekly got in his head a little bit, even though I don't think Boo even knew Westwood was wigging out about it. Weekly's antics were no worse than what Sergio has been doing for six years, match after match, including Saturday when he screamed like a howler monkey for a good six seconds even though Stricker still had a birdie putt to take (and make).

Two years ago, on the eve of a Ryder Cup, an Irish paper published what it claimed were naked pics of Tiger's wife. Wasn't her.

Yup, it's just shocking how badly the Euros are treated stateside when they're not stomping our asses. Boo (Weekly!) hoo.

 

absolutely

 

Wow, that is absolutely unfathomable.

I loved the way Kim treated him after Sergio bullshitted his way to that drop early on.

 

I hope this was the event where the universal blowjob for Johnny Miller finally jumped the shark.

Dan Hicks mentioned how Azinger's captain's picks did just fine, even though Miller criticized them beforehand.

Miller starts stammering, as if he were putting, yapping about that wasn't what he said.

 

It's impossible to say what would have happened had Woods played.

What did happen is, he didn't play and the US performed absolutely spectacularly without him. It's very hard to see, given his past Ryder Cup record and how well the 2008 team played, how he could have made the Americans any better.

 

Well, Tiger has averaged 2.2 points per Ryder Cup over his career.

There were five players in the 2008 Cup with 2 points or less.
