![]() It is so uncommon these days, in my experience, for folks to have the ability to answer questions and fix ordering problems like this. ![]() Geraldine and Tyler responded immediately and I was able to close my order quickly. Most impressively, this took almost no time. Geraldine fixed this for by reducing my order cost to what it would have been for a single design. A side effect was that it increased the cost of my order relative to using just one design. Tyler helped me do this with very clear, simple instructions. I had to split my order across two different designs in order to get the color of my logo to match the t-shirt color. This is the most special moment, week of my life right now.Geraldine and Tyler work incredibly helpful. I need to get it out somewhere, Faldo said, adding, This is really the best experience Ive ever had inside, outside the ropes, as a non-player, inside, outside the ropes. Faldo was near tears at least twice and confessed to it. The other big surprise Thursday was the emotional state of the normally-steely Faldo at the press conference where he announced his team. Boo Weekley would be an engaging choice as Holmes partner. And look for Azinger to send him off first in the afternoon matches to get the Valhalla crowd into the afternoon session right off the bat. Holmes game is built for fourballs not foursomes. But, upon closer inspection, it was the right move by Azinger. The player now, on either side, with the bulls-eye on him is Garcia.Steady Furyk is the perfect partner for Perry in alternate shot although hes 2-5-0 career in Ryder Cup foursomes.Westwood is, and always will be, an underrated player until he wins a couple of majors.His poker face is a perfect complement to the voluble Garcia.įINAL THOUGHTS: A lot of people are surprised that long-hitting Kentuckian J.B. Remember, Tiger Woods is no longer the player at these matches with the biggest target on his back. Which makes this an absolutely great nothing-to-lose spot for native son Perry to pull off the upset that would set the galleries on fire. And to repeat, Garcia is 8-0-0 lifetime in foursomes. ![]() THE SCOOP: Garcia and Westwood are Europes best team by far in this event. MATCH 4, 8:50 a.m.: Kenny Perry and Jim Furyk (USA) vs. THE SCOOP: Steady as she goes for both Cink and Campbell in alternate shot and both are perfect in this spot with Ryder Cup experience.Rose is a talented rookie who has lacked closing power in stroke play events.Poulter has become something of Faldos teachers pet in the lead-up to the matches and the pressure may be greater on him than any other player on the European squadLook for Cink to play all five matches. MATCH 3, 8:35 a.m.: Stewart Cink and Chad Campbell (USA) vs. ![]() Both disciples of Dallas teacher Randy Smith.Leonard 0-3-5 career in Ryder Cup and desperate for a full point.Stenson and Casey, both bombers, better matched off tee than Mahan and the shorter Leonard.Mahan and Leonard both better putters, on paper, than the Euros here.Casey one of five Englishmen on Englishman Faldos team and even Stenson has a Faldo connection: His caddie, Fanny Sunesson, used to carry Faldos golf bag. THE SCOOP: Leonard and Mahan close Texas friends. MATCH 2, 8:20 a.m.: Justin Leonard and Hunter Mahan (USA) vs. He awarded Kim to MickelsonLast time Mickelson went out first on Friday in Ryder Cup was infamous 2-and-1 loss partnering with Tiger Woods against Harrington and Colin Montgomerie at Oakland Hills four years ago. Pretty tough to beat a three-time major champion out of his seat, Faldo saidAzinger said six different guys asked for rookie Kim as a partner. But he deferred to Harringtons stature as the reigning two-time British and one-time PGA champion. THE SCOOP: Faldo said Thursday he thought about putting Sergio Garcia, 8-0-0 lifetime in foursomes, in this spot. Padraig Harrington and Robert Karlsson (Europe): MATCH 1, 8:05 a.m.: Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim (USA) vs. So what follows is an analysis, in order of the Friday morning matches (the pairings for afternoon play wont be announced until late Friday morning). Īmerican captain Paul Azinger and European captain Nick Faldo are acutely aware of those numbers. The combined first day total of points in those five Ryder Cups is Europe 26 -U.S. That includes the four fourball matches that, at Valhalla Friday, will be played in the afternoon. To whit: In each of the last five Ryder Cups, the Europeans have led after the first days matches. And one of the key common denominators is the fast starts the Euros have gotten off to in all five of those victories. The picks are in for Friday mornings four foursomes matches that will kick off the three-day adrenaline rush that goes by the name of the Ryder Cup.Įurope has won five of the last six of these biennial golfapalooozas. ' Now is the time for all good golfers to come to the aid of their country.or continent.
