Fine....the first two matches Stricker was the better player. I didn't watch the third match. When you're 5 down after 8 I can't imagine either played well shooting 40 on the first nine with a birdie on 9. The first four ball match was all STricker, and a lot of the foursomes was Stricker. Who do you play last if you're the coach?? You have to get to that point to have it mean something when you're down 3. So is it better to put Mahan earlier and have him lose and have match 12 mean nothing?? Mahan was 2-0-3 two years ago and 1-1 this year. 3-1-3 in his history. I don't follow his career closely, he seems like a decent player to me. What is his history of choking. I honestly don't know.
