Ryder Cup Teams To Be Decided This Week
Hello. Congrats to Dean Wilson, Annika Sorenstam and Christie Kerr for winning in Colorado, Sweden and London, Ontario respectively.
Kerr's win featured a final round 65 to catch 71 hole leader Angela Stanford. An amazing score to say the least, coupled with an unfortunate meltdown. Stanford was at a loss afterwards. Let's hope every golfer who loses a tournament they had "in the bag" recovers.
As for Wilson and Sorenstam, they've been linked before. Wilson was one of two players to play with Sorenstam at the 2003 Colonial. Apparently they still keep in touch. Will Annika text-message Dean the way she does Tiger whenever they win? We'll see.
Wilson prevented Tom Lehman from qualifying for his own Ryder Cup team. If you're like me, you thought Lehman was long out of it. It just goes to show anything can happen with the new US team qualifying system.
This may make US players play especially hard this week at the PGA Championship, the final tournament of the year. The points are doubled, so a long shot can have a great week and make it.
Is this right? Well, as many people have said, the US team will probably do better than 2 years ago, when they were creamed 18.5 - 9.5. Time will tell. Obviously the Europeans have a great way of deciding their team, since they've been winning regularly.
Here's hoping everyone has a great week.
Regards,
Steve
