Tiger handing over the win to Mollinari was what the ryder Cup is about you have to remember since Brook Line the Americans are tarred with poor sportsmanship and poor supporters who tarnished the name of a great sporting event
Tiger returned some of that dignity back
it was all over the cup was retained there was a good chance Mollinari would hole it, but why put a fellow pro through it
saw rorys interview after his match finished. not sure i buy the excuse for being late. why wasnt he late on the other days? seems strange to set your alarm to clock thats been an hour behind for 2 or 3 days already.
What did people make of Tiger not making Mollinari put out at the last ?
If it was the other way round, I would have been fuming. Might not have won the cup, but a huge difference between drawing and losing.
Strange guy Tiger
Couldnt win whatever he did westwood was made to put out that was wrong according to the commentators but not westwood himself. I thought it was a nice piece of sportsmanship that in the end had no real bearing they had not one the cup back
I don't buy that it was a 'touch of class' from Woods. It looks to me that he was pissed off with missing his putt and probably was thinking "sod it, we can't win the cup anyway, let's get the f*ck out of dodge". He was probably annoyed anyway because the opportunity of potential glory had been taken away from him.
(As an aside, personally, I don't think Woods is very classy at all. For all that Leroy's rants about 'Figjam' make me laugh, Mickelson still comes across as a decent sort, if slightly annoying. As does Bubba. And a couple of others. But Woods? No.)

Disagreed with the commentators on this. No putt has to be given and that was a good 12" putt. Westwood himself said he was cr#pping himself over that putt which is exactly why you'd make him putt it. It can be missed, especially on greens as fast as that.
defo looked closer on telly and the greens look flat, which they are most definately not. They should do those graphic computer game type demo's to show how bumpy the greens are as watching on the telly defo makes it look easy. Hence why Mickleson & Rose's putts were bloody amazing.
Not sure what to make of this. Apart from a couple of wives and caddies the americans didn't turn up to the tournament ending party (traditionally everyone attends win or lose). A tough loss for the USA but it seems to me that classy is leaving the building real quick.
The thing is half the european team play on the us tour and are friends with the americans. Europe would have been celebrating but they wouldn't have been rubbing the american noses in it.

I imagine the bookies were absolutely fuming that he conceded. 14-14 they'd have a huge result as i doubt many punters bother backing the draw.

Hats off to the Tiger
I reckon he's more likely to have been pissed off with Love for sending him out last
Well done team Europe but I think we might have gone slightly OTT with the 'For Seve' stuff.
I cant wait to watch my next game of golf in 2 years
