So did Kanye rock da house?: There’s nothing more embarrassing than a middle-aged golfer trying to be down…
That’s not fair! I’ve seen Run DMC, LL Cool J and Public Enemy in my time: And that time is not now…
Fair enough. Let’s move on to more familiar territories, then. Did the Yanks win?: No they did not. Having spent three days in the lead, Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum were beaten by the mighty Scottish duo of Marc Warren and Colin Montgomerie.
How did it happen?: In the end, it was a routine par putt for Colin Montgomerie on the third play-off hole, but it was nothing like that simple. Scotland shot a 66 for a 25-under par total to put themselves in a winning position; but then Slocum nailed a birdie putt on 18 for a foursomes score of 67 to earn the playoff.
What happened next?: It looked like the Americans might win it with a 7-foot birdie attempt on the first play-off hole, but he missed and Warren holed a brave 12-footer to save par. Both teams missed birdie putts on the next hole, then the US made a hash of the third, giving Monty his moment.
Tough on Boo, though…: Having been the 13th choice of the US selectors, he and his mate Heath will be gutted they missed out on the big prize. But at least the Scots made up for missing out last year to the German pair of Bernhard Langer and Marcel Siem.
And where did the Poulter/Rose dream team end up?: In fourth place, just two shots behind the winners.
Close, but no cigar: It’s OK, thanks, I don’t smoke.
