SAN FRANCISCO -- His only bogey was the celebration. Tiger Woods rolled in his winning birdie putt, removed his cap to shake hands with opponent Y.E Yang, then soberly moved on. Take away the uniforms and the world No. 1 could have been wrapping up a Wednesday pro-am.
At that point, Woods didn't grasp the signficance: his win was the clinching point. The Presidents Cup was the Americans' for the third consecutive time. Even when U.S. captain Fred Couples unleashed a celebratory uppercut while walking toward his star player, the moment seemed to pass Woods by.
"I said, 'You won the point,'" Couples clarified to Woods later behind the 13th green, in the revelry that followed his 6-and-5 win.
"I thought you said I won MY point," Woods responded.
"No," Couples said. "I said you won THE point."
So there's the drawback to winning five points in one week at the Presidents Cup. After a while, it's hard to keep track of them all.
