Pavin makes Cink blunder

USA captain Corey Pavin forgot to introduce 2009 Open champion Stewart Cink when he presented his team at the opening ceremony of the 38th Ryder Cup.

He also appears to have made a similar blunder in forgetting to include Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan on his team-sheet for this morning’s opening fourball matches.

Poor old Cink was left stuck in his chair in front of a TV audience of millions and a packed amphitheatre of some 12,000 people close to the 18th green as his captain skipped straight past the major winner and name-checked last in the row Rickie Fowler before inviting the crowds to applaud his 2010 USA team.
