2003 Ryder Cup

Anyone disagree with the way the 2003 Ryder Cup ended?

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

Sorry, guess I was thinking of the presidents cup. I really didn't agree with the decision. They should have continued and played the next day.

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

I absolutely hated the decision/gesture, whatever you want to call it. Why do you bring it up now? I had just gotten over it 4 years later (or so I thought)! But now I will have to start over!!

Up until now I thought I was the only one that hated the decision

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

You are definitely not alone. They gave up on the competition, presumably because they wanted to go home, covering it with a questionable attempt at 'sportsmanship'. You can't have the latter without a full attempt at 'sport' first, IMO.

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

If I remember correctly. I really don't think Tiger agreed with it either. But he would never tell Niclaus that.

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

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.

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

I guess my point is, I bet others didn't like the decision either. In addition, it makes no sense to me that they can't finish play and the US keeps the cup. Doesn't make sense to me...

Re: 2003 Ryder Cup

The US didn't get to retain the cup: Nicklaus pushed for that at first, but Player wouldn't have it. Then they decided to share the cup.
