Watson On Woods Ryder Cup Prospects, Gleneagles No Shows
/As expected the scribes tried to flesh out Tom Watson's thoughts on Tiger Woods as a captain's pick and the Team USA leader says he'll be talking to Woods this week, something no doubt that both Stanfordian's are excited about because it's just been so, so long since they had a good sit down. Those Cardinal!
Ewan Murray's assessment of the Watson presser at Hoylake:
Watson intends to talk to Woods about the 14-time major winner’s Ryder Cup prospects in the coming days here. When asked what he is likely to glean from the meeting, Watson replied: “Well, not a whole lot, probably. It’s performance.
Meanwhile over at GolfDigest.com's The Loop, we've unveiled our special translator to understand what they said, and what they meant. The algorithm has been finely tuned for professional golfers, and here's my interpretation of Watson only getting two players for a team practice day at Gleneagles.
**There was also this funny bit about the golf course at Gleneagles. I guess when he told us in the past he thought it was good, he wasn't quite telling the full story!
I'd been around the golf course on a cart, and that doesn't get it; you've got to play it. And I've been there, I've played a few holes with the juniors of Scotland up there at the year-to-go event, which was a lot of fun to do, but I only played five holes. But I got a really good feel for the golf course. And I also got to see two different types of players play. Keegan Bradley played on Saturday. And Keegan can really hit the ball a long way and hit the ball high. And then Jim Furyk, who doesn't hit the ball quite as far, and played from a shorter position. So I got two different players I got to see play the golf course. My estimation of the golf course was wrong in the past. The golf course is really a good golf course.
