DESCRIPTION
U.S. players have won all seven PGA Tour events this season. 'Morning Drive' co-hosts Gary Williams and Erik Kuselias tell you who is the best bet to keep the streak alive.
TRANSCRIPTS
-From the Morning Drive studios for golfchannel.com, I'm Gary Williams,
Erik Kuselias in match play. This will be a hard
one for the Americans to keep a very nice streak
alive to the start year with 7 straight American winners.
Last time this happened 2001. If you were gonna pick
a player and this is not easy on the American
side red, white, and blue to get it done and
run the streak to 8, who would you go with?
-I think I'd take Tiger. Starting to sort of turn
it around, had some top 3's, had a win. It
wasn't an official event, only an 18-man field, but did
have a win. And the consistency for me has really
been the thing with Tiger. And if you have a
bad hole, you are not done in match play. If
you lose the hole-- you lose the hole, you go
to the next one. It only-- It counts the same
whether you lose the hole by 1 stroke or 8
strokes. It doesn't matter. So, sometimes you can get away
with having a couple of bad shots and around and
still be able to get a W and I-- So,
I think this sort of plays to Tiger's strength both
mentally and physically. I think he's the best bet to
get it done. What about you? -I will take Webb
Simpson. He's never been there before, but I-- I do
believe, Erik, that you know, Webb is the kind of
player that will thrive in circumstances like this. I know
he loved the Presidents Cup-- -Uh-huh. -experience. And-- And again,
he could lose in the 1st round. I don't think
Tiger will, but I do believe that Webb Simpson is
gonna make a very good run. I will add that
there are a few other Americans, someone like Ben Crane.
You can say, "Well, that's crazy." Look at the history
of this event. If you get a hot putter and
he can get as hot as anybody as Rory, as
some other guys that he has absolutely just completely dusted
off in a situation where there has been either borderline
match play or a match play format, hot putters, I
just think his bracket is too darn horrid and like
Tiger, the Snead bracket, I think, provides opportunities for a
couple of those Americans, Tiger and Webb, to get on
through. -You mentioned Rory McIlroy, you know, and your Ben
Crane-- When you beat Rory McIlroy like he beat Rory
McIlory-- -Yes. -last year and-- and you basically just sort
of taken him to the woodshed like he did. -Sort
of. -I mean, that kind of billy clubbing you can't--
you-- you-- you don't-- This is Rory McIlroy. Isn't the
best player of the world. He didn't win-- He-- It's--
It's not an accident you get that done, so I--
I-- Clearly, he's a guy that has a nice little--
After the first wave of guys you would think of
a good guy to maybe get this thing done. -And--
And people who don't remember when he beat him 8
and 7, Rory walked off in the middle of the
fairway. He just said, "You know what? I've had enough."
This has got to end. -It was like an 8
mile when they dropped the mike there to concede. -Very
much so. We don't drop the mike. 7 to 9
Monday through Friday right here on Morning Drive.
