FURYK HELPS USA WIN PRESIDENTS CUP
Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods attended to some unfinished business when they won at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club, taking home the much coveted President’s Cup. The victory was made sweeter due to the fact that it was at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club where they lost the same tournament in the year 1998.
Tiger Woods was named as the captain of the American team and this was viewed with much doubt and criticism in the golfing world. But it was Jim Furyk who stole the show. He was the most important member of the team and contributed towards the American victory the most.
He became the fourth player in the history of the tournament to have earned all the possible five points that are available. He finished the business with a record five nil and a four and three victory over his rival Ernie Els. According to the Couples, Jim Furyk was a leader.
Jim Furyk won the much coveted FedEx Cup the previous year and then also represented his country, United States of America, in the Presidents Cup and the Ryder Cup ever since the year 1997. In this tournament, he told the Couples that and Phil Mickelson wanted to play together and this beautiful partnership brought about many great victories for the couple and the country.
Jim Furyk found his touch at a very good time and was back to putting at his best. He acknowledges the fact that he has not been playing up to his level all through this year and was playing very poorly. He admitted this at the news conference which the entire team attended after its glorious victory.
Jim Furyk played a very important role and contributed a lot towards the victory of the United States of America in the President’s Cup. It is left to be seen if he can keep up his great form in the coming professional year.
