You have to wonder when he&#8217;s going to use his extra gear again like he did Monday, because when he does use that extra gear, there isn&#8217;t a single person on the planet that could beat him at their best.

Now I don&#8217;t know about you, but I wish we could hear more stories like this from the American side. Maybe I like the confrontation between captain and potential player a little too much.

Instead, the guy went out and made two picks from his heart in Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood. The funny thing is that both picks will play huge roles on the squad.
