The matches are tight this morning and, as predicted the Louisville crowd is urging action with a cacophony of cheers and...the requisite jeers. Meanwhile, one of the more popular and polarizing players sits on the sidelines. Nick Faldo's controversial call to have Sergio Garcia... and fellow European Lee Westwood... sit out the Saturday morning matches, is still being questioned. Mr. Westwood, who was rumored have developed blisters on his hands, wanted to play... and he made that clear, declaring, "I've never missed a match. This is the Ryder Cup. I would play with my arm hanging off, a couple of blisters are not going to stop me..."
Sergio, according to Faldo, is taking antibiotics and "needs his rest". The European captain has said that his Spanish star wanted to be rested, though it didn't look that way as el nino sat sulking in a golf cart a silent observer on this chill, gray Saturday.
And the show goes on in Louisville.

America beware...looks like the Euros are ready to change this story.
ReplyDeleteI'm a proud American, my Dad is a Vietnam Vet and my husband served in Iraq, but I still don't like Boo Weekly. I don't think he reflects the America I'm proud of. Just my personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteGG - you better head to Louisville - your Spanish honey bunny looks like he needs a hug after scrubbing a couple of wedges and missing putts.
ReplyDeleteJennifer - What do family members who have served in the military have to do with Boo Weekly and why you don't like him ?
ReplyDeleteBoo Weekly is one of the friendliest, most easy going, generous and genuine people you will ever meet. He constantly and patiently deals with media who take every opportunity to play him up as a hick with golf clubs.
He is also an intense competitor who never gives up, no matter how bad the situation.
I think Boo is fine. These guys should know what it's like to be a United States fan and we shouldn't apologize for our passion.
ReplyDeleteSergio Garcia and go choke on his antibiotics, shouting like a jerk after his last putt....
Poor Sergio was tired Patricia, he asked to get a morning off. You wouldn't want your wee darling to be overworked would you? Didn't you see he wasn't able to skip around like the Sergio we all know and love yesterday, it was a little sad I thought...
ReplyDeleteActually, I love it when Sergio acts up, starts whining and gets people angry...And he does seem to have a talent for that... along with his talent as a golfer.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Boo Weekley, frankly, I don't care much for him either. Simply because I don't find him particularly interesting.
Regarding those two golfers, I think there's a gender divide: guys would tend to like Boo better than girls would..and the opposite for Sergio. It goes the same for politics Republicans = Boo, Democrats = Sergio. Boo vs Sergio could be an indicator for all sorts of things ;)
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Sergio in a normal setting - somewhere he doesn't HAVE to be - without media and without a bunch of women undressing him with their eyes...well...ok...Patricia can come. :-) I've met him once at The Tour Championship, and once, believe it or not, at a red light. He was gave a very polite hello and thanks at the light, and when it was clear that I didn't WANT anything from him and didn't want to attack him as part of the media, he seemed like a good guy to know. Of course, you can't tell for sure, but that was the impression I got.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of women putting the eye on Boo, too - he may not be 5th Avenue glamour - but he could pull his share of VERY attractive women if he wanted to.
The battle of the talismans, Garcia vs Kim, what a cracker this is going to be. Kim's off to a flyer, I'm backing Sergio to reel him in though.
ReplyDeleteUmm, Sergio's just put two in the water, I really shouldn't have said anything...
ReplyDeleteWell now, here is one thing we can agree about regarding Sergio and Boo - they are both,uh, "follically challenged"...
ReplyDeleteJennifer - Sorry you can't be proud of Boo...he is the kind of man who made sure you have the freedom to say what you want (as are no doubt your Dad and Husband).
Sergio and Boo...follically challenged, that's funny. Sergio did seem to have a bad case of hat hair at the end there, however I'm certain that was the least of his worries.
ReplyDeleteI tried to research Boo's reputation as a particularly "ugly American" or a particularly "heroic American" and came a bit short on both counts. I'm definitely going to pay more attention to him now though :o)
da chicks on this blog don't like boo cause he doesn't fit into their country club view of the world.
ReplyDeleteboo is a good old boy-- plain and simple.... with a lot of game and many years of struggling to back it up.
he is the real deal and a truely american character- someone right out of mark twains imagination.
in this age of cynicism and corporate unaccountability it is nice to see a guy who is 35, who struggled and made it-- and now wears his heart on his sleeve-- get what he deserves.
he's probably hunt'in right now with a bunch of his buddies and has already left all the hype behind.
good bless boo weekly - a man for all seasons!
