unite as one in the U.S. team

“I’m thankful that he picked me,” Woods said. “This is just a great bunch of guys .But it’s great to be a part of this team. I’m thankful that Freddie believed in me to be a part of this team.Greg is probably not happy about it after I closed out the cup today..”

Woods was solid for five matches, even though he was rewarded with only two points. On another tough day of strong winds and super slick greens, he made six birdies—the most in any of the 12 singles matches—and earned the clinching point for the second straight time.

“A lot of people have asked why I picked him and how he was going to play,” Couples said. “Obviously, we want to win the cup. But it’s more important for me to have people realize that he can play the game. Certainly I couldn’t answer how he was going to play, but this week I think he showed to himself that his swing is back and he’s healthy. And that’s more important to me.”
