Woods, Duval to represent U.S. in World
Cup
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods has selected David
Duval as his partner for the World Cup in December, putting together
the players who are No. 1 and No. 3 in the world rankings.
Woods could choose his partner because he is No. 1 in the world.
The only other time he and Duval were paired in match play, Lee
Westwood and Darren Clarke defeated them 1-up in a best-ball match
on the first day of the Ryder Cup.
Woods won the World Cup last year in Malaysia while playing with
good friend Mark O'Meara, when it was a stroke play event in which
both scores counted. Woods had a 21-under 263, while O'Meara had
a 282 in their five-stroke victory over Spain.
The World Cup, sponsored by EMC, is now part of the World Golf
Championships, and will feature two rounds of best ball and two
rounds of alternate shot.
It will be played Dec. 7-10 at Buenos Aires Golf Club in Argentina.
Duval is recovering from back problems. He withdrew in the first
round of The International in August and has not completed a tournament
since he and Woods were paired together in the final round of
the British Open, which Woods won by eight strokes to complete
the Grand Slam.
