Europe have lost eight of the 12 Solheim Cups and never won the event in America - and I am not confident they will be able to arrest that statistic this week.
Trigger
However,
Jim Furyk will be disappointed that he was not able to win his second Major after leading going into the final round, but it looked so difficult for him to pull the trigger on his shots; he was second guessing, coming back for a second look and it all took too long.
Furyk must find a quicker, more direct way of playing otherwise his twitchiness is going to get worse, and
Woods has much to ponder as well, whatever he says, after finishing tied for 40th at Oak Hill at four-over-par.
He has won five times this year and tops the rankings by a considerable distance but it is Majors that count and he is missing something in them.
Woods' Major strategy seems to involve making fewer mistakes than the rest of the field and successfully defending the lead on the final day - something that has worked wonders, but is not working at the moment.
And he doesn't seem to have a second gear or be willing and able to play with more verve in order to come from behind to win a Major - something he has never done.
Next year, though, three of the Major venues stack up nicely for Tiger, as in addition the Masters at Augusta, he has the Open Championship at Hoylake and the US PGA Championship at Valhalla - all places where he has won before.
If Woods is going to get away from number 14, it could happen in 2014.
ROB'S SKY BET TIPS
I will tip
Team America to regain the Solheim Cup on home soil and
Hideki Matsuyama to claim the Wyndham Championship; Sergio Garcia played fantastically well to win in North Carolina last year and secure his Ryder Cup place and I think he will go well again, but Matsuyama, who shot 66 in the final round at the US PGA, is my man.
