    And conversely, a lot of players -- even on their good days -- would have been crushed by Scott and Choi. They missed one fairway and four greens in 12 holes, and only took 17 putts on those crazyfast greens.

    That always sounded like a marketing thing forced on Couples -- even when Couples picked him he made Tiger play a minor league event out in the Bay Area as some kind of "proof" he would be ready for competition. He proved nothing of the sort. But, you can't have an international event without the most famous golfer in the world, and since the Presidents Cup is just marketing bullshit anyway, it was worth it to them.

    Choi-Scott were making everything. The course is pretty cool, but I suspect Tiger will do better tonight since it's better ball instead of alternate shot.

    The Aussies should have AC/DC start the day by singing "I've Got The Bestest Balls Of Them All!"

    Chris Jones posted this on Twitter with the hashtag #brokentigerhappycaddie. That made me giggle.

    I was prepared to claim that a still photo doesn't tell the whole story and can be misleading, but in this case ... nope. Just saw the replay, and Tiger was a coldly malevolent, mechanical robot.

    And that's different from the pre-crash, pre-split with Stevie exactly how?

    Not being sarcastic or cynical, it's the truth.

    Who's Tiger's muscle now that Stevie Down Under Wonder is the enemy?

    Joe LaCava, who's actually too nice a guy to get caught up in the world of shit that is now Tiger Land.

    This.

    LaCava is a class act who is far too smart and wise to get caught up in any of that.

    As I posted on the other thread, that laughter you heard at this head-and-shoulders beating wasn't coming from Stevie Williams.

    It was coming from Stephen Ames.
