Back to US Dominance… A stroke play event!
After being destroyed in the Ryder Cup last weekend, many (J.J. Henry, Vaughn Taylor, and Phil aren’t playing and Lehman withdrew to attend Lord Byron’s funeral) of the US Ryder Cup teams is back at it in this weekend’s World Golf Championships American Express Championships at The Grove in Hertfordshire, England.
And looking at the leaderboard, there is not much surprise….
Woods is leading at -6 thru 9 with Cink and Padraig Harrington tied for second at -5.
However, the more interesting stat…
US Ryder Cup participants over par — 1 (Toms)
Euro Ryder Cup participants over par — 3 (Westwood, Casey, and Olazabal)
Maybe the US just sucks at team/match play competition, but can certainly play stroke tournaments…
