I am not quitting my day job to go into the Ryder Cup handicapping business. About the only thing I got right this weekend was that Anthony Kim would play well.
It was the highest quality golf I can recall ever watching. It makes you wonder why these guys don't play this well on the tour, and yet says much about the pride factor; no money at stake and they play their best golf.
Putting under pressure is supposed to be the hardest thing to do in golf, like hitting a high hard one in baseball. Well, tell that to Jim Furyk and Kenny Perry and Ian Poulter who missed nothing when it counted. On the other hand, pressure did nothing for Sergio Garcia's game or putting stroke this weekend, and Kim exposed one way to play Sergio in future Ryder Cup matches -- don't concede three foot putts to him.
That worked at the Ryder Cup, but I wouldn't try it at your club next weekend.
