The English golf pair Ross Fisher and Ian Poulter was teamed up versus the best golf player in the world Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker; the golf swinging marked the opening fourball matches that were announced for the Ryder Cup golf tournament at the grass of the Celtic Manor golf club.

USA Golf team’s captain Corey Pavin created the upset on the golf field whilst World number 5 in the PGA Tour rankings Furyk was about to team up with Tiger Woods. Referring to the PGA Stats, Furyk is one of the most professional golf players with 6 Ryder Cups played not to mention clinching the golf Tour Championship as well as the FedExCup honours on Sunday in Atlanta.

Captain of the USA Golf squad, as an alternative, decided to join the PGA Tour World golf leader Tiger Woods with with Stricker, a seeded 4^th in the world golf standings in order to tackle the 3^rd golf match match of the day versus the Englishmen Poulter and Fisher.

Pavin was quoted saying, while interviewed on Live Golf TV and by various golf news reporters: “Furyk said he's been tired. He was counting the money and he's been very tired. You'll see him out in the afternoon” as he was pointing at the Golf foursomes.

Tiger Woods, on the other hand, is still struggling to get his golf putters to their old-time precision; after a long period of personal issues and a divorce, Woods golf swinging has decreasingly fallen during the PGA 2010. The best golf player in the world, and perharpas the best golfer ever, had failed to qualify automatically to play with the US golf team. Teaming up with Stricker at the 2009 Presidents Cup golf tournament, the duo formed an unbeaten pair all along 4 golf games.

Pavin told the live golf TV channels and the PGA tour official website (pgatour.com): "I thought it was a good slot for them so I put them there." When the Team USA skipper got asked by the Ryder cup media about the reaction of Tiger Woods when he was asked to miss tackling the grass pitch of the openning golf match of the Ryder Cup, everyone expected a disappointment, knowing that Woods hasn’t missed  an openner since Brookline 1999. Nonetheless, the response of Pavin was clear and honest; Pavin stated that "He's fine. He's been saying the same thing to me since I asked him if he wanted to play on the team as a pick (Wildcard Pick after failing to qualify). Woods replied by saying: "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do."

Colin Montgomerie, who was among the 1^st golf players to support the Tiger Woods induction into the Team USA, was somehow stunned by the world number 1's position in the fourball order. Montgomreie told the golf official website and the Live Golf TV that he was expecting Tiger Worods to go 1^st of 4^th.. The Irish golf player added that "Tiger, being hidden, is a different move. But, as we all know, every point is important wherever it might be."
