Team USA fell to pieces on Ryder Cup Sunday as its three anchors, Jim Furyk, Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker, lost their putting talents at the very last holes at Medinah, handing over the cup to a jubilant Team Europe.
Jim Furyk, devastated by his loss to Sergio Garcia turned into in apparent denial commenting, ?I?M pretty positive Sergio could let you know that I outplayed him today?.
My thoughts? Jim Furyk, although a great golfer, probably should never have been chosen by Captain Davis Love III in the first place, with Furyk known this season by the way he fizzles down the stretch in the finale.
Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods have been located in the clean-up function by Love, in spite of the fact that they misplaced every team healthy. Captain Love made mention that he wanted experienced talent simply in case it became had to win the cup but did Love think about each Woods? And Stricker?S season strokes gained putting average earlier than making his very last decision?Did Love forget about the thrashing Stricker and Woods took through Adam Scott and KJ Choi on the Presidents Cup?
Poor putting below stress in the long run misplaced the Ryder Cup for Team USA.
With all of the pressure falling squarely on Stricker, who is 65th in strokes gained putting average on the PGA Tour this season, the eighteenth hole was hardly the time for a “mis-read”. And, Tiger Woods should never have missed a 3 1/2 foot putt…never.
To further show that Tiger has lost pride in his performance, here is Woods quote after his Ryder Cup tie with Molinari, “You come here as a team and you win or lose as a team, and it's pointless to even finish. So 18 was just, hey, get this over with." Pointless? Tiger Woods, for certain, has gone soft.
I assume Tiger ought to have sat out on Sunday and contemplated Furyk?S Ryder Cup assertion, ?It?S the lowest factor of my 12 months.?
Congratulations to Team Europe. They deserve the accolades!
