Default Re: President\'s Cup

"Biggest" in the context of money, winning, etc., no. But he had the weight of the entire country on him, in a raucous atmosphere of thousands of supporters from both greens watching him (including the players on the other green), playing the best player in the world, with a putt to either square the match or go dormie. Because the Cup was basically secured doesn't necessarily make it that much less important: now him winning was the best thing that could have happened that day for his team and that crowd.

Plus, the weight of expectations can be a killer. Weir himself totally gagged down the stretch a few years ago against Vijay in the Canadian Open before his home crowd. And Tim Duncan shoots a much higher free throw percentage on the road, where there aren't thousands of people counting on him within earshot.
