Stop Wailing: Corey Pavin Makes Right Call in Choosing Tiger

Filed under: Ryder Cup

Corey Pavin talked about gut feelings when it came to picking the Ryder Cup team. A prevalent one on Tuesday was nausea.

Pavin didn't have it, but a lot of people were bent over after hearing that Tiger Woods made the team.

Take some Dramamine and get over it, folks.

Pavin had no choice. Woods earned his way onto the team, and not just because his presence assures that the National Enquirer will stake out the U.S. team hotel.

tweetcount_src = 'RT @FanHouseGolf:'; tweetcount_via = false; tweetcount_size = 'small'; tweetcount_background = 'FFFFFF'; tweetcount_border = 'CCCCCC'; tweetcount_api_key = '1cf4e3b7f7f20406a9dd9d1b1edc0e41b4fc20d1b21cb19a6f169387c696d333'; Tiger was easily one of the four best Americans who failed to qualify based on points. The only reason not to pick him was personal, and Pavin did what coaches in every sport always do.

He went with the player who gives him the best chance to win. If you think J.B. Holmes would do that more than Tiger, allow me to suggest your objective opinion went out the shattered Escalade window about 100 mistresses ago.

I know mine did, and I don't apologize for enjoying Tiger's misery this year. The guy earned it.

I'm not saying forget what Tiger did. And I'm sure not saying forgive. That's up to his ex-wife, not any one of us. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
