Okay. The rain pants comment was not directed at you. I thought that was obvious. Apparently I was wrong. We'll move on now yes?

I would participate, but I guess it's possible that I would miss the first couple of holes

USA held on, Norman's got to deal with another disappointment.  Good for Furyk, 5-0.  Tiger played well and clinched it.  Could be the boost that Tiger needed after the last 2 years.  Freddy was asked if he'll captain again and said he would if he was asked.

Watching Brandel talk about Tiger,  "It's not the swing changes it's in his DNA.  He could take lessons from Jim Furyk and in 2 years come out and beat everyone's butt"

One thing I've been wondering, do you think the U.S. plays better in the Prez Cup than in the Ryder Cup or are the Europeans that much better as a team?

Is there anywhere on the PGA tour or another site that shows each individual player's point totals- I know I could tally it up myself, but am feeling lazy

Brandel is just a tosser. Everybody's worked that out by now. And yes Europe is just that much better. I mean you just have to look at the world rankings, there is no comparison.

Maybe if Brandel just waived his magic fairy wand, threw some pixy dust in the air, and then did a jig around Tiger while he lay peacefully sleeping in his bed, Tiger would win majors again.

Agreed on Europe just being the much better side. I think the avg. world ranking (not that that really matters, but it's interesting) of the Internationals was something like 35. Plus, the Euros don't have any glaring weak links like a Robert Allenby, even though you can hide weak-links better in the Ryder Cup based on the format.

And I think it's a lot more natural for the Euros to feel solidarity against the US side, as Greg Norman alluded to in his post-presser.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to say that the live chat last night was a lot of fun. And it was great to see Tiger snipe some putts too. Good times.

Baddeley is obviously hitting it so much better with those big misses off the tee too. lol.

Euro's thrive on Ryder....Intl's could give two ####'s about Pres IMHO.....Like any rivalry....If one team continuously knocks the snot out of the other.....Is that a rivalry?

Would the US team prefer to win Ryder of Pres Cup? Of course Ryder Cup. Why? Because they do feel the rivalry there. imho.

Examples? Would have Mahan fluffed the chip in a Pres Cup due to pressure? Dont't think so. Would have he cried in the press room? Not at all! imho.

Congrats to both team, the President Cup is always a fun tournament to watch. Let's see what will happen at Medinah 2012! :)

    • there will be lots of changes.  i mean, look at newey past, each team fell off a cliff when he moved on i think max is the magic bullet   if red bull loses him then whee are they going for drivers?   lots of young talent but he is a proven winner and i’m sure top engineers love to work with him  
    • I too, like @GolfLug, remember great wedge, iron shots, or my missed putts, more than my made putts. My most memorable recently, would be: #17 Old Course St. Andrews (last year) I had been putting awful all day (I started 3 putt, 4 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt), but found a putting stroke on the back 9 and was 1 under on the back going into 16 and of course I 3-putted it for a bogey. Got to 17 and my playing partner just hit it into the hotel, so I went a little more left and decided to not try and hit it over the hotel.  And as soon as my ball was in the air, I heard one of the other caddies do the chicken noise.  LOL My shot was a little more left than I wanted, about 185 yards, I hit a 6-iron and it was drawing right at the flag.  The pin was just to the right of he bunker and towards the front of the green. My ball hit short (and just missed going into said bunker) and stopped about 15 feet left of the hole. Had a little left to right break and as soon as I hit it, I knew it was in.  Birdie on the road hole, looked at the caddie and said not bad for a Chicken.  Parred 18 (missed 10 foot birdie putt) for a 35 on the back 9 at the Old Course. #18 Springfield G&CC Last year while playing in our season long match play event, my partner and I get the 18th hole needing to win the match to move on into the knockout round.  We are tied going into 18.  A tie and we lose on overall points by .5.  Our teaching pro is on the other team (very good golfer), so we were pretty sure we needed a birdie to have a chance to win the match, I hit on of the best drives I hit all day and had about 135 yards to the pin, but it was in a place where you didn't really want to be long.  So I hit a PW and it landed just short of the flag but released about 12 feet past the hole, so have a devilish putt coming back down the hill.  Our competitors were away and the pro missed his birdie putt by inches, I thought it was in when he hit it.  So after reading the putt, which probably had a 2 cup left to right break, I made the putt to win the match.   #15 Springfield G&CC A few years back, was playing in the first round of the Club Championship (against the previous years runner-up) and my putter was balky all day.  Got to the 15 hole, 2nd Par 5 on back, and was 3-down with 4 to play.  We both hit good drives, both hit good second shots and we both hit decent 3rd shots.  I was about 15 feet and he was just a hair longer.  He missed his putt, I had another slider putt down the hill, with about a foot of right to left break and made the putt.  I birded the next hole, to go 1 down, but not a memorable putt as I only needed a bogey to beat him on that hole, he had all kinds of issues going on.  Lost on 17, as he birdied it, right after I missed mine to lose 2&1.

    • Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.
