I think it was fine. Nobody wanted to come back the next day and putting all that pressure on one guy to win it for their respective country(countries) seemed a little much. At the time there wasn't a solution for that particular scenario so they made it up as they went to satisfy both sides.There was a lot of good golf that weekend and for it to end in a tie was fine by me. I thought it was great sporting gesture.
BTW, who cares what Tiger thought, he's not the be all end all.....and he's certainly not the captain.
