Ryder Cup captains unmoved by East Lake fireworks

Judging by the comments of rival captains Thomas Bjorn and Jim Furyk during their joint press conference at Le Golf National yesterday, the knockout punch Tiger Woods delivered to Rory McIlroy in Sunday’s Tour Championship must never have happened.

While the golfing world was glued to the compelling psychodrama at East Lake as the final round played out between the big beasts of the PGA and European Tours, Bjorn and Furyk must have been busy sewing name tags into their respective uniforms or figuring out the place settings around their team-room dinner tables.
