Video: Pissed Phil Mickelson Throws Tom Watson Under Bus At Post Ryder Cup Press Confernce

As predicted things got very awkward and not just a little ugly at the closing Team USA press conference.  Phil Mickelson took the lead in skilfully kicking his Captain when he was down by continuing ad nauseum to talk about how Paul Azinger performed the role in 2008.



Luckily Watson was sitting the other end of the table to Mickelson; all he could do was sit there and stare ahead with the hint of a grin on his face. Watson probably knew this was coming, he just didn't think it would be this bad.



Watson eventually got to have a right of reply.
 "I had a different philosophy being a captain of this team. You know, it takes 12 players to win. It's not pods. It's 12 players. And I felt, I based my decisions on, yes, I did talk to the players, but my vice captains were very instrumental in making decisions as to whom to pair with.  He has a difference of opinion. That's okay."
It was all very tense but very entertaining.
