RYDER CUP 2008 2006 REVIEW singles matches. Robert Karlsson’s 3 & 2 defeat to Tiger Woods, maintaining his 100% record in Ryder Cup singles, and Garcia’s loss to a remarkable Stewart Cink, were redeemed by a 2 & 1 win from Paul Casey over Furyk with a precisely struck downhill birdie putt from 30 feet on the 17th. David Howell then crushed the hapless Brett Wetterich 5&4 and Donald completed a victory over Chad Campbell, quickly followed by Henrik Stenson sinking a winning putt from seven feet, over Vaughn Taylor on the 15th. That meant Europe needed just one more point and the stage was set for the undoubted star of the week – Northern Ireland’s Clarke, who had tragically lost his wife, Heather, aged 39 to breast cancer under six weeks before the match.
