LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The good-natured barbs were flying, and if they counted for anything, captain Paul Azinger would have staked his U.S. Ryder Cup team to a big lead heading into the 37th Ryder Cup matches. Of course, the matches are still nearly a year away, and that banter that flew between Azinger and European captain Nick Faldo on Monday at Valhalla Golf Club won't mean a thing when the pegs go in the ground next September. Too bad, because Azinger clearly got the best of his former television sidekick, who may have even appeared a bit uncomfortable with it all. The idea was to begin the countdown to one of golf's most highly anticipated events and bring several dignitaries together to sample the golf course and say nice things. But Azinger didn't need long to get warmed up after European Ryder Cup director Richard Hills joked that the Americans should fear not -- Faldo would not be picking him as an at-large selection. "Richard, don't count yourself out yet," Azinger said. "The way Nick's assistants are dropping like flies, you may be in there as a captain's assistant." Laughter ensued, but Faldo could only smirk. His captaincy is already caught up in a bit of controversy, with Azinger referring to the resignation of Paul McGinley from the post of assistant captain last month. That followed Faldo snubbing the Irishman for one of his captain's picks at an event called the Seve Trophy, a Ryder Cup-style format that pitted continental Europe against a team from Britain. Although the tournament doesn't attract 1 percent of the interest generated by the Ryder Cup, every move Faldo made was scrutinized with an eye toward Valhalla and running Europe's winning streak to four. |
