Tiger, Davis and the Elusive Ryder Cup, at Medinah/Reuters/Jeff Haynes
For a while Tiger Woods reigned supreme over the golfing world, winning his 74 PGA Tour titles, including 14 Majors, but he has been unable to extend his golfing panache to the biennial competition that pits the U.S. best against Europe’s best. His performances at the Ryder Cup have been pretty average, some have even labeled him, Mr Joe Average, and on Tuesday Tiger accepted the responsibility for the dismal U.S. showing for the past 15 years. Tiger’s mediocre record of 13-14-2 from six Ryder Cup contests does not enhance the otherwise brilliant resume of Eldrick Tont Woods, who has only been able to celebrate just one team win from six Ryder Cup appearances. Tiger reported;
“Well, certainly I am responsible for that because I didn’t earn the points that I was put out there for. I believe I was out there, what, in five sessions each time and I didn’t go 5-0 on our side. So I certainly am a part of that and that’s part of being a team. I needed to go get my points for my team and I didn’t do that. Hopefully I can do that this week, and hopefully the other guys can do the same and we can get this thing rolling. I’ve always loved coming here, I enjoy playing in Chicago and for some reason, I’ve just had a lot of success here. I don’t know what it is but I seem to be very, very comfortable here.”
As they say in America, Bring it on.
