Tiger Woods may be one of the best golfers ever but when it comes down to the Ryder Cup, he just down right sucks.
From the Mercury News:
In 29 career Ryder Cup
matches, Woods has earned only 14 points for the Americans. Take away
his 4-1-1 record in singles, and his work in paired matches is an even
more dismal 9-13-1.
The only time he has been on a winning team
came in 1999, when Ben Crenshaw's side pulled off the stunning "Miracle
at Brookline." Woods missed the most recent U.S. success in 2008, when
he was recovering from reconstructive knee surgery. http://www.mercurynews.com/golf/ci_21649359/ryder-cup-tiger-woods-accepts-blame-his-poor
Today, the Ryder Cup started and is being played in the Chicago area. Woods and Steve stricker lost the morning match to Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, 2 & 1 (the winners were up 2 holes and they didn't play 1 hole because the winners already clinched the win, thus the 2&1)
This afternoon, Stricker and Woods are trailing Lee Westwood and Nick Colsaerts by 1 shot with 4 holes to play.
For some reason, Woods just stinks in the Ryder Cup, an international competition of the Europeans vs the United States that happens every 4 years. Why? Maybe he is tired after a full season of golf- oh wait, he plays in very few tournaments each season.
Or perhaps, he just doesn't take the Ryder Cup seriously. Whatever the reason he needs to be benched.
Sunrise — 6:39, 6:42, 6:43.
