Lightbulb US Teams Ryder Cup behaviour

I don't know about you guys but the US Ryder Cup team really disapointed me. Ok everyone has bad weeks, and the better side on the week won. But that doesn't ok our guys behaviour. They did not give autographs in the practice days - what's that all about, and were actually booed for not doing so, I mean thats a great start to the week. Then there were the egos, Phill Mickleson who has allways been one of the gentlemen of the game deciding to not practice (preperation he says) and then when he did finally practice it was on another course away from his team. He also changed club contracts the week before, which many of the commentators (pros themselves) said showed his lack of commitment to such a big event. The there was Chris DiMarco who could not stomach the European fans cheering the winners and walked away from congratulating the European players, what kind of image does this give to others who play the game!

Anyway we'll be back for the Ryder Cup in 2006, but hopefully with a team and captain who are better prepared, equiped and mannered to meet the Europeans.
