These guys won the Cup but...
This Guy was the real winner.
That may be one of the great days in Canadian sport, certainly in Golf. Weir beat Woods and it was awesome. Sure the US won the Presidents Cup but that was a done deal by Saturday night, Sunday was all about Mike Weir.
If you saw you couldn't help but be proud, proud of him, of the galleries and of the spirit of competition. Plus it was cool seeing the little guy take it to Tiger. (And remember I love Tiger!)
It was the perfect stage. In Canada, our best against maybe the best ever.
It couldn't have been a better way to win.
Up early in the match, then Tiger comes storming back and then goes up on Mike and then Weir hangs tough and prevails in the end.
When it was over I had goosebumps. Everyone who watched it did.
Tiger gave Weir a hug and told him how proud of him he was at handling all the pressures of the week, being a captains pick, unofficial host and playing in front of his home country.
This is a day Canadian golf fans will remember for a long time. Like the day Mike won the Masters.
The only thing that could top it is when he wins The Canadian Open, which judging by his play yesterday, could be sooner than later.
Quick Notes:
Who ever told those idiots that yelling "Get in the Hole!" every time someone hits was a good idea, was freaking dead wrong. "Get in the Hole" has replaced "Your the Man" as the most irritating thing in golf.
Johnny Miller is the best color guy in sport. He is right on with his golf knowledge and will always say what-ever is on his mind. It was great hearing him praise Weir and talking about what a gutty competitor he is. When they showed Gary Player walking besides Mike coming up 18 Johnny said, "There goes two little guys who can flat out play!"
If your like me and you like to read different versions of the same thing, take a gander at the Weir-Woods roundup from these other sources.
