ryder cup.


The 38th Ryder Cup is more than a month away and already U.S. captain Corey Pavin has had a dust-up with a reporter and went 1-down in the pre-Cup gamesmanship battle with European counterpart Colin Montgomerie.

Then there's the Tiger Woods question. Woods could have made it a lot easier on Pavin by making the U.S. team on points. But he didn't, putting Captain Corey in a tough spot.

Davis Love III, one of Pavin's assistant captains, had a front-row seat to the theatrics last week at the 92nd PGA Championship.

"I would like to be captain one day but after the last few days of watching Corey, I don't know," Love joked. "Maybe not. (Jim) Furyk and I were laughing about it a little bit. Maybe we don't want to be captain."

Pavin had a heated exchange with Jim Gray of the Golf Channel, who reported that Pavin told him Woods would be a captain's pick. After Pavin said Gray misquoted him, Gray confronted the captain, called him a liar and was heard to say, "You're going down."

In a joint news conference with the two Ryder Cup captains, Montgomerie was given an opening and took advantage of it. Pavin refused to say whether he would pick Woods, so a reporter asked Montgomerie what he would do if he were in Pavin's shoes.

"That's a very difficult, dangerous and undiplomatic question," Monty said, smiling broadly. "But of course I'd pick him, yes."

"Let me make a note of that," Pavin said. "Thanks for the help. Appreciate it. He's very helpful that way, Colin is."

Montgomerie went on to add that Woods was the best player in the world and the best player of his generation. Of course, he didn't mention that Woods has played poorly this year and that every European wants a shot at him.

Love, a veteran of six Ryder Cups as a player, has seen all this before.

"I think it's just the Ryder Cup these days," he said. "It's become a soap opera until you actually play. Then while you're playing it's kind of not, and then afterwards it's a soap opera again.

"It's so big. It's like Tiger. It's so big you've got to talk about it."
