Curtis is below the middle order as he has shown several times since picking up Bjorn's fumbled ball at Sandwich, how many cuts in the last 2 years? Mind you he did ok last week but I thought it was a bit off that none of your guys pitched up at Wentworth last week. Wentworth is about as american as our courses get, I would have fancied the likes of Toms especially on recent form.
Hamilton is a different matter. I think with a little better coverage and some he could really get himself into the top tier.
Surely you admit that Furyk would have pretty much had any of our guys that day. It was just Howell's bad luck it was him. But then I suppose it dont matter cos the rest of the American team did so well.......
American's have to earn their way on the team or gain the Captain's trust and respect to become a Captain's pick. John Daly did neither and was justly omitted from the US team. I like Daly but he's not someone I felt should represent our country. Especially when he failed to earn his way onto the team. That being said, he certainly couln't have done any worse than the guys we had.  D. |
You sound like Howell....."It's just bad luck he lost." Bad luck had nothing to do with him being benched for the majority of the matches.
Maybe he'll fair better next time (if he's good enough to make your team) when the matches are closer and he doesn't need a babysitter to make him feel comfortable.
Yes, the American team (now there's an oxymoron
) lost to a superior team. There's no question about that.
I suppose when the PGA Tour changes all the events to "TEAM PLAY" the Americans will be in deep do-do.
Until then, you enjoy your Ryder Cup victory and I'll keep enjoying Americans winning majors. BTW If you're keeping score as closely as you do with the Ryder Cup.....13 of the last 20 Majors have been won by Americans.
