I don't think the part about Verplank being a lead weight was true.
I do believe that Lehman needed to grow a set and sit Mickelson and
Tiger for at least one Foursomes match.
I'm always afraid to criticize Miller too much when I consider the
alternative .... Lanny.
Lanny would have spent 5 hours telling us how Nicklaus and Trevino
would've whipped the entire European team by themselves.

The ability to objectively face harsh reality is not a quality I would
attribute to the garden variety upper echelon PGA TOUR golfer, LB...not
by a long shot. When confronted with it, they typically file it in the
grudge directory and nurse it like a child.

That's all he said? What part was he wrong? Tiger did play like crap,
and Mick was an oh-for.
Hell, I thought he tossed out the N word or commented on Amy
Mickelson's tits.

It's a busy-ass homepage, so here's the link:

Funny stuff...funny, but true. Typical Miller.

The full story is at golfonline.com. I like the part where Miller
says "greetings" to the US team after he finds out his off-air
comments are being piped into their room.

Should he have been admiring how well the American's were playing
instead?

That's why team golf (especially fourball) is a different animal to
single strokeplay. There are some guys who can lift their partners and
make them play better regardless of how they play themselves. The
perfect partner for a nervous talented rookie is a reliable,
experienced player who'll encourage the younger player, keep telling
how good he is and giving him the chance to play his game.

And Verplank had a good point that some of Johnson's fine play may have
been attributed to the fact that Verplank kept him loose. Once Lehman
broke them up, Johnson's play suffered.
Gives new meaning to the term, "Better golf through Chemistry."

Johnson just happened to play really well that round. You can't blame
Verplank for that :-)
I thought Verplank was one of the few Americans that had some feel for
the event and had a bit of fight in them (the others being Johnson &
Henry). Also, I think he was the only US player who cracked a smile in
the 3 days.
