Week in Review

We are big enough people to admit when we were wrong and in regard to the final outcome of the President's Cup, we were wrong. The American squad overcame the home-field advantage and lead after every day of play. Here are a few highlights and things we would like to discuss more in depth:



1. Adam Scott: What a gem. Played like a leader all week and we were of course impressed with how well he carried his playing partners, KJ Choi and KT Kim, we also enjoyed when he beat the lovable Phil Mickelson in singles play. The only bad part of his week was when he was paired with Ernie Els who played like a dog during their match which they eventually lost.







2. Tiger Woods: Let's be honest. He has to play more than 2 weeks in a row to be considered "back to form" in our book. He still has a lot of work to do. See you in January.





3. Royal Melbourne: This course looked tough, it played defense all week. Designed by famed Augusta architect Alister Mackenzie, Royal Melbourne really flexed its muscles around the greens. David Feherity tweeted the truth earlier in the week "This course is so hard I think they've been watering it with Cialis. And I just saw Webb Simpson and Billy Haas in separate bathtubs."

4. Cup Rookies: Both sides got incredible play out of their rookies (minus Jason Day ALL WEEK). The Watson-Simpson duo looked unstoppable in during the first few days of play for the Americans. And on the final day in singles matches, Charl Schwartzel and KT Kim won the first two points for the Internationals. This tournament has a bright future when looking at these great young players.

And that should wrap up our thoughts on this past week of play from this exciting event. We will have a review of the President's Cup fashion in a day or two. Be patient, the more fashion-minded half of G&B has a job now, so she is real busy.
