President’s Cup – 2009 – “Eagle Soars Over Shark Infested Harding Park Waters”
Author: Mike | Category: Golf Tournaments
Captain Fred Couple’s American Team continues the dominance over Greg Norman’s International Team and wins the President’s Cup for the United States at this years venue at Harding Park. The U.S. has won all but two Presidents Cups since 1994, one ending in a tie in 2000 and the other loss came in 1996 when the Internationals beat the American Team handily 20 -1/2 to 11-1/2 respectively. In 2009 the final score was United States 19-1/2, Internationals 14-1/2 which matched their winning scores in 2005 and 2007. Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker took Harding Park by storm and made it look easy as they recorded four wins and no losses in their play against the Internationals. Woods record 5-0-0 and Mickelson’s 4-0-1 record is befitting the number one and number two player’s in the world. Their stellar play appeared to carryover from the victory they shared a few weeks back as they trumped the field in their one, two finish in the Tour Championship and Fed Ex Cup.
Let’s not forget the rest of the Amercian Team led by Steve Stricker, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard and Jim Furyk who all played inspired golf in their singles matches on Sunday. The fact that American Basketball sports legend Michael Jordan was in their team room and delivered a speech on teamwork the Saturday evening prior, may have contributed to their inspirational play. Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have been teamed together in the past at both the President’s and Ryder Cups and their record together in these two venues is not reflective of the true ability of the world’s two best player’s. You would think they would be invincible as a duo but that is not the case. They may have relied too much on each other carrying the match and may not have put forth their best efforts. The teaming of Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim or Justin Leonard worked out well. Was it Fred Couple’s strategy or the players themselves teaming up with whom they felt most comfortable with? However the teams were established set the tone for the victorious play for the American Team. Kudos to Fred Couples and the American players who made their country proud by retaining the cup and continuing the dominance over the Internationals in the President’s Cup Competition!

I have been blogging since 2007. For years I made a few bucks here and there with Adsense and some affiliate sells, but I wasn’t making enough to quit the day job for sure. I tried getting traffic from Adwords, SEO, Yahoo, article marketing, social sites, and even email. The problem was that I just couldn’t get enough traffic to really make anything. Then I found out about a new way to buy traffic for so freaking cheap that it was nuts. If you’re sick and tired of only getting a handful of visitors to your blog, check this site out.
