One of the things we learned on Sunday at the Ryder Cup is that to be a member of Team USA, you have to either date or be married to a tiny blonde. We assume it was a scenario similar to trying to get into one of those night clubs where it’s determined based on your appearance. If you showed up to meet captain Paul Azinger with a tall brunette on your arm - next! But if you showed with the tiny blonde as required - on the team.
This really hit us when they showed the crowd celbration after Jim Furyk clinched his match for the Cup win. What we saw was a few of the American golfers surrounded by a sea of blondes, with everyone just hugging. We’re not sure if each golfer didn’t care if it was actually his wife, or if he just wasn’t sure.
One thing we did hear is that Phil Mickelson made it halfway through dinner that night before realizing he was with Justin Leonard’s wife and not his own.
