Steve Williams And Tiger's 9 Iron

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"As if they were not in enough trouble already, America's woes at the 36th Ryder Cup were not helped by New Zealand caddy Steve Williams on Sunday.

Williams, who carries Tiger Woods' bag, was holding the World No 1's nine-iron beside the 7th green when he went to soak a towel in the lake - and to his horror, dropped the club in to it.

Such was the depth of the water that it was not retrieved and Woods continued his singles against Swede Robert Karlsson with only 13 clubs in his bag."

It was actually recovered by a diver and given back to him on a later hole.

So they have a diving team @ the ready to cover these circumstances? :D

Unbelievable. Overall, the Ryder Cup was a U.S. embarassment. All I can say is the U.S. team showed some serious mental weakness.

That's one take. My impression was though that the Euros played WAY above their head. 2 years ago, the US LOST the cup, while this year the Euros WON it fair and square.

Good competition, I'd rather focus on a few of those great matches we has this morning. Unreal.

I will say though that Phil should have excused himself from competition if he was that off; I would have rather had Verplank out there showing intestinal fortitude, rather than Phil's ball-less showing.
