Poulter Doesn't Expect A Monty Ryder Redux

Alex Miceli quotes Ian Poulter expressing his dread at the question of Tom Watson getting the 2014 Ryder Cup captaincy and, with plenty of stipulations to not get in trouble, his surprise.

He's also is asked if Colin Montgomerie has a shot in the next few weeks to get the nod to match the buzz surrounding Watson's choice.

“I think it's between Darren (Clarke) and Paul McGinley.”

2014 Ryder Cuppers Will Only Have To Play Gleneagles For One Week…

As Nick Rodger reports, the Johnnie Walker played on the same (regrettable) course as the Ryder Cup will step aside in 2014 for golf's most exciting event.

Tiger: ''I'd like to congratulate Tom Watson on his selection as Ryder Cup captain"

From Doug Ferguson's AP story on Tom Watson's selection as Ryder Cup captain:

''I'd like to congratulate Tom Watson on his selection as Ryder Cup captain,'' Woods said in a statement. ''I think he's a really good choice. Tom knows what it takes to win, and that's our ultimate goal. I hope I have the privilege of joining him on the 2014 United States team.''

**Bernard Gallacher, working out some of his stand-up material while talking to Sky Sports:

"I also think Watson is the perfect captain to get the best out of Tiger Woods, something we have not seen in Ryder Cups. Tiger only plays with Steve Stricker, but Tom will get him playing with other players ahead of 2014, plus, I think Tiger respects Tom for being very straightforward and criticising him when he spat and swore on the course."

Oh yes, he just loved it. Still does, to this day!
