It is just golf. Shaming our country is beyond over the top in this case.
Tiger halving that match meant nothing. As soon as the Euro's won, he just wanted off the course. Tiger was not great all weekend, but he was not horrible. He played well enough on Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon to win points, but got zero help from his partner. I have no doubt that he would've finished off Molinari if they needed him to, but he saw the score and the celebration right in front of him.
Credit to the Euros for raising the level of their game when the pressure was the greatest, but make no mistake about it, this was a monumental choke by the US squad on a course that they set up to suit their playing style.
