Presidents Cup: Saturday Foursomes

The U.S. team absolutely trounced the International team in foursomes this morning by winning every match to go up 12-5 in the overall Cup point totals. I’m stoked. Go U.S. of A. But, I also hope the Internationals can make a run this afternoon so the singles mean something tomorrow. Technically, the U.S. could win the Cup today by sweeping the afternoon Four-ball. Not likely, considering their play yesterday, but possible.

I’m disappointed that we haven’t seen a Woods v. Sabatini match-up during the first three days of play. Rory has been nipping at Tiger all year, and Tiger has been shutting him up with actual golf results. Still, it would be cool to see the two in the same match. Instead, Captain Player, when presented with the chance of creating such a pairing, choose to sit Sabatini out for the afternoon.

Is it ridiculous to suggest that Tiger Woods be benched for the the afternoon Four-ball? His Four-ball record is an abysmal 2-7 after yesterday’s beating, and while sitting him out would possibly lead to riots by a sold-out crowd who paid to see the best in the world, it could be the smartest move for the U.S. (Note: The pairs are already set for the afternoon, and Woods is playing with Toms.)
