In case you overlooked it... The Americans were main in all 6 fits, then there was a rain delay, then the International team came returned to complete the consultation in the back of by using best 1 point, which become sufficient to get the LPGA match absolutely dropped from the GC broadcast agenda...
And all anybody should communicate approximately was a squirrel. See it using around with Davis Love III?
And then Davis handed his little friend off to Lindsey Vonn (who, btw, is seemingly beforehand of schedule to go back to snowboarding and the Winter Olympics) and Lindsey decided it'd look oh-so-adorable using on Tiger's shoulder...
And later on we found out it was still traveling with Davis... in his pants pocket. (I find it impossible to think about the interview without flashing back to the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where Eddie's girlfriend asks "Is that a rabbit in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?")
You can read most of the details at this USAToday link, and also find the Tweeted picture of Davis & Friend, and find the video, and the photo, and just generally everything you ever wanted to know about little squirrels that fall out of trees and make friends with golfers. Not included is the tale of how Davis came into possession of the little guy, which is as follows:
While following one of the groups, Davis noticed a commotion off the 2nd green. Not wanting it to interfere with the golf, he went to check it out. A baby squirrel had fallen out of a tree and several of the fans were trying to corral it... so David picked it up to end the commotion. Although Davis mentioned the so-called superstition where his family often picked up a stick where Davis was playing for luck, it sounded to me as if the superstition angle was an afterthought; he simply decided it made a good story. He did note that the three groups he followed -- with the squirrel -- all won or tied their matches.
It'll be interesting to see if the little guy turns up again today... and if it's any good at alternate shot.
