HUH??

3 straight USGA Juniors (winning 18 straight matches)
3 straight USGA Amateurs (winning 18 straight matches)
2003 and 2004 Amex WGC match play champion (which is winning 12 STRAIGHT matches)

His Ryder Cup SINGLES record is 2-1-1 (the half being after he and Jesper agreed to call it a match after Europe had already clinched the Cup in 2002.)
It is too difficult to judge someone based on their Ryder Cup record where you are so dependent on a partner for 4 out of 5 matches for the weekend.

President's Cup SINGLES record is 3-1. In those 3 wins he beat Norman, Singh, and Els. His lone defeat coming to Goosen...no shame in that.



Soooooooooooo...he does just fine in match play. He has just spoiled us a great deal in regular tournament play Mike. Other than the AMEX-WGC Match play, they don't really have any other single events that are match play.
