"I still think they will win. I just believe we have better players. Europe has a lot of good players and a host of very promising young guys. But who among them has a great record?"

Fan the flames a bit why don't you Jack.  Just when the Euros are falling over themselves in sowing their own discord you provide a rallying point.

"I know I tend to sound ambivalent about the Ryder Cup," he continued. "On one hand, I think the matches have been made too important for the wrong reasons.

"Fundamentally, I believe the Ryder Cup is an exhibition by some of the best golfers in the world, great entertainment and an exercise in sportsmanship, camaraderie and goodwill.

"The individual performances, good or bad, don't determine who the best players in the world are. Nor does the side that happens to win determine on what side of the Atlantic the best golf is played.

"Too many people believe otherwise, and that helps to make the matches too contentious among the teams and their fans.

"I'm tired of hearing about the European dominance in the Ryder Cup. I'm sure for many years the Europeans got tired of hearing about American dominance and they're revelling about turning it around.

"But I just think American golf is better than perceptions based on recent Ryder Cup results."

To paraphrase: America clearly has better players.  I don't understand why the Ryder Cup is contentious.

He seems to be turning into a bigger wanker every time I read his comments.
