Pavin not looking to engineer meeting between Woods and McIlroy

Corey Pavin would be glued to a clash between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy at the Ryder Cup this week – but he has no wish to pre-arrange it with Colin Montgomerie.

The nearest thing the contest may have to a grudge match – apart from Woods v Phil Mickelson at table tennis in the American team room – would be a meeting of the world number one and the 21-year-old Irishman.
