Were Sunday matchups based upon a random draw, or did each team decide which players would go up against which other country? <br /><br />If it was the latter, I see a possible problem for the future. Countries which might be essentially out of it might try to influence the outcome, or be perceived as doing so, through their choice of which countries will face their top players or their weaker players. There could also be collusion with two countries agreeing to each put weak players up against each other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902909007787154124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-51770105310508997442014-07-28T17:23:33.067-04:002014-07-28T17:23:33.067-04:00Diane I'm sure that helped but as it worked ou...Diane I'm sure that helped but as it worked out none of the Spain players had to beat any players in the top 25 RR to win this....That's not to take away from their great win though.Colin N.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726116294845057929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-48445397530612927302014-07-28T16:32:11.923-04:002014-07-28T16:32:11.923-04:00Regarding Spain: As far as I can tell from commen...Regarding Spain: As far as I can tell from comments by the players, they grow up in a match play-centric culture. The result is it's second nature to them. The current crop of Spanish women are really good. I expect they will generally dominate match play competitions for the foreseeable future.<br />dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559875662870187835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-64051213020997616892014-07-27T20:27:07.631-04:002014-07-27T20:27:07.631-04:00I thought before the tournament the ROK still had ...I thought before the tournament the ROK still had the best team and the way the draw and results went the only time Spain needed to play and beat the ROK was in one match on the last day against NYC who currently is only just ranked #4 for ROK on RR. I expect in 2 years we will see a number of different players even within the same teams.Colin N.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726116294845057929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-31605371511047042522014-07-27T18:54:23.768-04:002014-07-27T18:54:23.768-04:00The tee times were changed due to the weather fore...The tee times were changed due to the weather forecast so TGC had to change the broadcast times as well....still TGC coverage as a whole leaves a lot to be desired.

Typical Golf Channel, no class announcers. They also changed the broadcast, time after the USA team was knocked out. So Yeon fannoreply@blogger.com
