I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] this event. After this post, gonna see if I can find it streaming online somewhere. If not, I may have to go home and semi-work from there.

There was something weirdly empty about the DiMarco putt two years ago. I think it's that, unlike the Ryder Cup, they didn't state "in the case of a tie, previous winner retains status". On top of that they were coming off of a tie. So when DiMarco made that putt it was a huge anticlimax because the only two possible results were 1) US Win, or 2) Int's win all the outstanding matches to tie and then it's a tie. It was basically a freeroll for the US.

I'm not sure if that has been changed. That said, the International team is effing loaded and it makes no sense to me how the US can beat or tie them every time and then get completely owned time and again by a clearly less talented European squad in the Ryder Cup.
