The Eye Of The Tiger

Last week they held in Australia, men’s golf tournament, the President’s Cup;
At the Royal Melbourne Country Club, emotions were very up!
Because instead of competing for money, they are playing just for pride;
The winning team to claim the title, if they outscore the other side!
.
It’s the U.S. against the whole World, except for the European pros;
For every other year we play “them”, The Ryder Cup to show!
Tiger Woods was named our Captain, the popular Ernie Els was theirs;
Two of the greatest golfers ever, their records beyond compare!
.
Each team is comprised of twelve men, the highest rankings for the year;
Since Tiger was in the top ten, he chose to be a playing Captain here!
Although the U.S. was heavily favored, our opponents built an early lead;
But Tiger won his two matches, then surprised the World indeed!
.
For he chose to trust his teammates, and not play the next two rounds;
Saying, “As their Captain, I am confident, they will turn this thing around”!
And just like he predicted, we got a lot closer than before;
But the last round played on Sunday, we needed a record-breaking score!
.
Then unbelievably, it happened, we won eight of the last twelve points;
The President’s Cup was our spoils, the U.S.’s name on it anoint!
In my fifty years of watching these, Woods is the greatest Captain of all;
Dare to look into the eye of the Tiger, and most assuredly you will fall!

Our Captain took us
From defeat to victory
