Although already participated in five sessions of the Ryder Cup, Woods there is a new experience. Perhaps for him, this is by far the most important next Ryder Cup. The following is the Associated Press editorial. The article points out the Ryder Cup from all angles, both for the extraordinary importance of the Woods.

Tuesday, Woods for the first time to experience a traditional Ryder Cup. Corey – Pavin (Corey Pavin) sitting on the seventh floor of the New York Stock Exchange, the rostrum, to the press and the U.S. Professional Golf Association announced their four guests outside the card.

Well-known British media, “Daily Telegraph” in the European Ryder Cup squad of 12 players announced, immediately predicted the team in the Ryder Cup team will be composed of what kind of match race. Result, the media is respected duo Rory in Northern Ireland – McIlroy / Gram – McDowell, in the four-ball match with four people regarded them as the first two on the starting combination.

European Ryder Cup captain Colin – Montgomery gave up world number eight Paul – Casey, three-time major champion Harrington will be selected into the team. However, it is difficult to see in the end who is the partner inherent Harrington, unless Monty as captain playing end. However, Monty must take into account this problem. After all, the three-day Ryder Cup, the first two days of team competition is very important. The following is the “Daily Telegraph” as the Monty made were in formations.

Morning: Four-ball

Group I: Rory – McIlroy / Gram – McDowell

This combination of Northern Ireland last year, Vivendi Cup a great success, they did not win the only race that they are not starting with the first group identity. McIlroy like to just do things, Monty will make his free ride in the race. The pair are good friends outside the stadium, won last year’s World Cup runner-up.

Group II: Harrington / Luke – Donald

Monty is very trust Padraig Harrington, will certainly send him on a four-ball play. Donald and Monty have some similar capabilities, this may affect the captain bring together the pair, after all, very familiar with Monty Harrington, the two of them have partners, to achieve victory over many. The two players certainly mature enough to become a tacit understanding with both parties, to contribute to the European team. Sometimes, “Haw called” (metaphor of small problems) can be a good thing.

The third group: Ian – Ian Poulter / Rose – Fischer

This combination has been England to join the two World Cup in the final two rounds last year shot 63 and 64, eventually rising to 4. Monty wants to Paul Stewart, “fire”, Fischer is his obvious partner. This is Fischer’s first trip to the Ryder Cup, but the pair do not lack self-confidence.

Group IV: Lee – Westwood / Martin – Kemer

Westwood could make anyone look good, but the pair could become terrible combination, combination would imagine the U.S. team did not encounter them. The two highest-ranked European team match, it seems almost no weaknesses, their deadpan humor will adds. England and Germany, who would expect that there is a pair of the best together?

Afternoon: four two-ball game

Group: McIlroy / McDowell

If something is not broke, do not go to repair it, or at least that is Monty want. U.S. Open champion and an extraordinary young man will be a lot of the ball on the fairways and greens, it should be hard to beat.

Group II: Ai Duoao more – Molinali / Francisco – Molinali

Monty may be early in the morning let it appear on the Italian brothers, but they have to match the two played in four. Ai Duoao more iron will hit the ball with accuracy Francisco, the World Cup is a superb combination.

Group III: Jimenez / Peter – Hanson

This combination of nothing to lose, let them race it out to match, is likely to bring back additional scores. Hanson greens success rate is high, Jimenez has rarely hit the ball very far off the mark. Monty now let each team have first hand experience the game.

Group IV: Lee – Westwood / Luke – Donald

Monty here are more flexible choice. Donald maintained in four two-match victory, if Westwood’s condition can not achieve hundred percent healthy, can not attend all five games, then the accuracy of Paul Stewart’s bat would make him a natural to be a choice of four two-ball game, he may appear in four matches on the two. If Kemer / Westwood in the morning game show color, they are likely to continue to work the game played in the afternoon, or Poulter / Fischer will be played, after all, they are both very straight tee players.
