I wish there were more team matches in golf. It&#8217;s a fun aspect of the game that doesn&#8217;t get shown often enough. Aside from the US winning, I have two moments that I think I will always remember. The first is the look on Phil Mickelson&#8217;s face when he realized he didn&#8217;t halve his Sunday&#8217;s single match. That was funny. He looked like a deer caught in headlights. But my favorite moment had to be involving Fred Couples. Right after DiMarco hit the winning putt, all the US players were collecting around him hugging and things. Well, except for Freddie. He was running towards the scrum with his hands in the air, but no one was hugging him or welcoming him into the mob. It was hilarious. As Bill Simmons would say, this rated high on the unintentional comedy scale.<\/p>\n<p>What was your favorite moment? Leave it in the comments after this week&#8217;s links.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Hole 1: New Endorsement for Tiger Woods<\/strong><br \/>\nThis just made my day on a Monday morning.
