Sit Tiger for 2 sessions on the same day??? Not gonna happen..The powers that be, the sponsors and the networks would have sh*t fit..Love was questioned by the madia why he was sitting Tiger for the 3rd session and even though he is the Captain he had to justify himself, saying he didn't want anyone playing all 5 sessions..This was probably why he sat Mickelson and Bradley....And if you think sponsors and PGA, USGA and R&A have no say in things, I'd say you'd be sadly mistaken....But it was a good Ryder Cup, fun to watch..And if you didn't catch the Morning Drive, they were criticizing Molinaro for not conceding to Tiger when they were in the fairway after the cup was won and also for not giving Tiger his first putt..Unbelievable...I think Tiger giving Molinari the putt to win the hole was a nice gesture..I don't hate Tiger, I just hate the way the media fall all over themselves when it comes to Tiger...
I also wish Moli and TW would've done "Good? Good?" But, I think Moli was probably instructed not to concede. IMO, Olly wanted a WIN, not a RETAIN. I think Olly still has bad blood from '99 when the US trampled all over his line after Leonard made that putt.
There were a couple of rounds, this year, that ended in gesture's reminding me of Nicklaus concession to Jackin, back in '69. TW's concession to Moli was one of them.
