Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker were the dream pairing for the Americans at The Presidents Cup. They played four games and won all four of them. Their most notable win was on Saturday when they stole a victory from Internationals, even though they were stuck in the jaws of defeat.
The International team must be rueing the losses of two matches in particular on Saturday at the Presidents Cup. The suspects in question; Mike Weir paired with Tim Clark and Robert Allenby paired with Vijay Singh. Both were at 2 up during the back nine but, failed to secure a win.
The Mole feels rather sorry for the pairing of Geoff Ogilvy and Ryo Ishikawa; they lost 6&4 to Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker. Sure, Woods and Stricker are a tough pairing to beat, but Ogilvy fell foul of a marshal who didn’t know how to switch off his cell phone, something the Mole finds hard to believe. To add to his woes, a fan decided to shout at him as well.
The International team is looking a little battered and bruised before the Presidents cup has even started! YE Yang has a burst vein in his right eye while Camilo Villegas has a couple of battle scars from his time off in Colombia... And let’s not forget Norman’s shoulder surgery!
With The Presidents Cup just days away, the International team has been thrown a curveball. Could Greg Norman’s personal affairs ruin his team’s chance at victory? Or were the Internationals ever within a shot at glory in the first place?
Tiger Woods may have walked away with close on $11 million, but Phil Mickelson was the real winner of the season-ending Tour Championship. Or was he? The Mole has strong opinions on this FedEx Cup nonsense.
Ernie Els is running out of time – and events – to keep his amazing streak of 18 straight years with at least one tournament win running. The Mole is hoping for a late charge by the Big Easy to end an otherwise miserable year for SA golf fans.
