US vice captain Stewart Cink makes bizarre claim ahead of Ryder Cup
Cink thinks players will be happy to sit things out at the Ryder Cup!
United States vice captain Stewart Cink believes "there's not going to be a lot of disappointment for not playing" at the Ryder Cup.
Cink, 50, thinks the conditons are going to be so hot at Marco Simone in Rome, Italy, that members of Zach Johnson's United States Ryder Cup team will be more than happy to sit things out in the fourballs and foursomes sessions on the Friday and Saturday.
Surely not... it's the Ryder Cup?!
Throw in steep hilly climbs at Marco Simone, which Team USA experienced for the first time on a trip last week, and Cink considers it's going to prove the most demanding of Ryder Cup courses of all time.
Cink, who won the 2009 Open, and Johnson, a two-time major champion, were speaking to the media ahead of this week's Fortinet Championship on the PGA Tour.
