Lee Westwood makes dramatic recovery…

As if the last few days hadn’t been bad enough for Europe’s beleaguered Ryder Cup Captain, Colin Montgomerie has dug the knife in further, criticising Faldo’s decision to send three of his biggest names out last in Sunday’s singles.

Having decided that his girlish screams of foul play made him look very slightly bitter, Ryder Cup loser Lee Westwood has embarked on an embarrassing charm offensive, in the hope that America will welcome the cuddly golfer back into their arms, as if nothing had ever happened.

In case you were wondering…
In the last week or so, we’ve come to know a new Nick Faldo. Gone is the icy egomaniac who prowled the fairways like a night time strangler, and in his place is a self-absorbed joke maker, who’s roughly as hilarious as an evening watching the rib-tickling Ian Botham and Alan [...]

Phil Mickleson and Anthony Kim halved with the hotly-tipped European pair of Padraig Harrington and Robert Karlsson.

Right, this is getting silly. In his quest to become the funniest man on the planet (the great poses, the visual gags), Faldo took to the stage for last night’s opening ceremony, and let rip with an onslaught of majestic jokes. He quizzed Graeme McDowell which part of Ireland he was from [...]
Ahh, look at Darth, he’s socialising…
Man opens mouth, out comes rubbish…
“I’ve got both hands on the steering wheel, I’m trying to do everything right, dot all the Is and cross all the Ts and it’s like drawing back a bowstring. For two years I’ve been pulling that string back and now I’ve got to let the arrow go. I just [...]
