Some President's Cup Thoughts
Hello. Congrats to the US for winning the President's Cup Sunday. They managed to hold onto a huge lead for a 19 1/2 to 14 1/2 victory.
Some thoughts:
1) Boy, did some International players ever stink! Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Trevor Immelman, Rory Sabbitini, KJ Choi, Stuart Appleby, Nick O'Hern and Adam Scott all had periods of utter futility. If Adam Scott doesn't end up spending 90+% of his practice time on the short game, he'll never be anything more than a poor man's Jim Furyk.
2) Speaking of Furyk, why is he about 10 wins shy in the win department? On paper it looks like he should be winning 3-4 events a year. One thing I noticed in the last two US Opens and again Sunday is he pulls his irons when under pressure. That and a too-slow putting routine is what keeps him out of the winner's circle
3) Woody Austin is great for golf, a sober John Daly.
More tomorrow.
Regards,
Steve
