An out-of-form Tiger Woods enjoyed his best ever start to a Ryder Cup on Saturdayu00a0-- but the troubled world number one admitted it was all down to playing partner Steve Stricker.
Woods, who needed a wildcard from US captain Corey Pavin to make the team, has rarely performed well at the Ryder Cup, winning the trophy only once before in his career.
But the 34-year-old superstar is clearly revelling in his partnership with Stricker after the duo scored back-to-back wins in their opening fourballs and foursomes matches at Celtic Manor.
It was the first time in Woods' Ryder Cup career that he had opened with a pair of wins. "It's not a bad deal, is it?" a smiling Woods said.
"(Steve's) stroke is so good. It's fun to watch. All you have to do is put him in position, and he's got that 'go in' look. Even putts that don't go in, it's like, how did that miss?"
