Tiger Woods' first turn as Presidents Cup captain hasn't been boring
MELBOURNE, Australia - His demeanor betrayed his words, the solemn vibe outweighing what he was saying. Tiger Woods might have been talking a good game, but his guys were not playing one, not even close.
And thus, Woods, the U.S. Presidents Cup captain who was performing as well as anyone on either team, faced a multitude of questions.
Why are you sitting out when your team needs you?
Why did you play Patrick Reed and Webb Simpson again?
Why are you so far behind?
Woods, understandably, had plenty to answer for early Saturday afternoon at Royal Melbourne, as his U.S. Presidents Cup team faced a surprisingly large deficit through three sessions, trailing 9-5 and without a lot of hope.
