Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood will both be on the bench Saturday at the Ryder Cup, marking the first time the two European stalwarts will miss a match in their careers.
Both played twice in Friday's matches. Westwood paired with Garcia for a half-point in the alternate-shot matches, then joined Soren Hansen in the afternoon for a half-point in the better-ball competition. It was Westwood's 27th consecutive match and extended the Englishman's unbeaten streak to 12, tying the Ryder Cup record held by Arnold Palmer.
Garcia is 8-0-1 in career Ryder Cup foursomes and Westwood is 6-2-3.
How the fvck can you choose Oliver Wilson and Henrik Stenson to face Mickleson and kim and bench Westwood and Garcia? Nick Faldo ignored Montgomerie and Clarke as captains picks because they've got a history of not getting on and now he decides to bench two of our best players because his ego is bigger than the Ryder Cup will ever be.
You wanna know how big this is? This is bigger than the US team benching Tiger Woods because Garcia has a better Ryder Cup record than Woods. This is like Bill Bellechick benching TomBrady on the eve of the Superbowl because they had an argument 3-years-ago.
I'm pissed off.
Rant over. For now.
