"Captain Jack is already calling him Jacques."

Golf World's Jim Moriarty says Woody Austin better learn to deal with YouTube fame and teammate ribbing after his day two Presidents Cup dive (still not posted on YouTube, a full 8 hours after).

And, of course, what can you say about Woody Austin, having set the world butterfly record in the lake on the 14th hole and then birdieing three of the last four holes to gain a halve? Maybe they should add the dunking stool to the team room. The Christmas list is no doubt already being compiled on the U.S. team bus for their Rookie of the Year. Flippers and mask. Wet suit. Spear gun. Styrofoam noodles. Life vest. A professional will often try a risky play from a hazard but rarely do they wind up fully submerged. Captain Jack is already calling him Jacques.

At least Woody will never again have to look at the video clip of him beating himself over the head with his putter at Hilton Head. They've got something much, much better now.

"Put the two together," said his playing partner David Toms, "and you'd be, 'What's this guy all about?' But, I'll tell you what, he's a heckuva golfer."

Meanwhile, at least golf.com has the sequence from Getty Images' Timothy Clary, including the shot seen above.
