What did they talk about, you wonder, while Florence wrote and directed the prison plays and Veronique made the scenery?It would be wrong to build too elaborate a thesis on two such similar but dissimilar cases, yoked together by an accident of the judicial timetable The murders happened 18 months apart. If the PGAs are the ones making the money, they should go to the dinners.”. Today Paris awaits a verdict on Veronique Herbert, accused, like Florence Rey before her, of murder for kicks. What drove two teenagers to random slaughter? The answer surely lies beyond their ghoulish
fascination with the film Natural Born Killers. It lies deep within France itselfIs there any cause in nature makes these hard hearts?” Or, as Shakespeare might have said, what has got into French girls these days? First there was Florence Rey, convicted last week of four killings in a daze of teenage adulation and anarchist ravings; now there is Veronique Herbert, on trial this week for setting a sexual trap and stabbing 39 times (with her boyfriend) a teenager whom she vaguely fancied but also hated. But off the course, let the players get together.”At the gala dinner, where there are 600 people being served, there is no guarantee that you will receive food that is actually warm.
We finally got served about 9.30pm, and it was cold and it was not cooked.”If you had eaten it, you would probably have got sick. We said to the captain we need 20 pizzas sent up to the team room for when we get back there. If I go out and give my heart and soul and I don’t win, I don’t think I’m a failure.”In the past, O’Meara has made calls for the huge profits which are raked in by the PGA of America, the PGA at The Belfry and the European Tour to be shared in part with the players, or the charities of their choice.”It is not enjoyable when you have functions every night and you are on a schedule from six in the morning until 10 at night,” O’Meara continued.”I cannot honestly say I had a great time at Valderrama. On the course, the competition is fine, it’s exciting and fun. The Ryder Cup started out as a friendly match but it is not that way any more.”O’Meara added: “Whether you win or lose shouldn’t depict what sort of person who are. Unfortunately there have been times when our team has lost or the Europeans have lost and there have been things written in the press. That is the verdict on the Ryder Cup of two of America’s leading players, Mark O’Meara and Tiger Woods “Everybody needs to lighten up a little bit,” said O’Meara.
“It’s not a life or death situation.”
Woods made his debut in the biennial clash – which in the last decade has become one of the premier events on the sporting calendar – last year at Valderrama when Europe retained the Cup. But the world No 1 is enjoying the low-key nature of the Alfred Dunhill Cup far more.
“The thing that I like about this tournament is that you go out and play head-to-head and it’s fun,” Woods said. “If you hit a bad shot, you’re not going to hear the boos, or the hissing and the moaning that you do at the Ryder Cup.”It’s not life or death. I didn’t like the way the press and the fans made it out to be that way at the Ryder Cup. THE FOOD is undercooked and the competition is over-egged. Playing one of the smaller teams, they have nothing to lose and we have everything to lose.
When you are three over after four holes, you are thinking what will the headlines be tomorrow.”A back nine containing 20 putts was Montgomerie’s problem. “I holed nothing but if someone goes and wins, all credit to them,” Monty said. “He played better on the day but my colleagues helped me out It is always difficult to get two wins. The Far Eastern countries have improved a lot over the last 10 years. They can compete as well as anyone and they proved that again today.”DUNHILL RESULTS AND TEE-OFF TIMESYESTERDAYGROUP 1Sweden bt Japan 3-0 (Winners’ names first): P Sjoland 69 bt H Fujita 77, M Gronberg 78 bt N Serizawa 79, P-U Johansson 71 bt K Miyamoto 76.USA bt England 3-0: J Daly 70 bt L Westwood 73, T Woods 66 bt D Carter 74, M O’Meara 67 bt P Baker 74.GROUP 2Scotland bt China 2-1: G Orr 75 bt Wu Xiang-bing 76, A Coltart 73 bt Cheng Jun 78, C Montgomerie 73 lost to Zhang Lian-wei 72.Spain bt Ireland 2-1: S Luna 71 lost to D Clarke 71 at 22nd, MA Jimenez 70 bt P McGinley 72, JM Olazabal 73 bt P Harrington 75.GROUP 3South Africa bt France 3-0: R Goosen 72 bt O Edmond 73, D Frost 70 bt T Levet 75, E Els 69 bt J Van de Velde 72.Zimbabwe bt Germany 3-0: T Johnstone 69 bt S Struver 76, N Price 72 bt T Gogele 73, M McNulty 73 bt A Cejka 75.GROUP 4South Korea bt New Zealand 2-1: Shin Yong-jin 75 bt M Long 76, Kang Wook- soon 71 bt F Nobilo 75, Kim Jong-duk 73 lost to G Turner 70.Australia bt Argentina 3-0: S Appleby 66 bt J Coceres 77, C Parry 70 bt A Cabrera 75, S Elkington 70 bt E Romero 70 at 19th.TODAY’S TEE-OFF TIMESGROUP 3Zimbabwe v France9.00 M McNulty v J Van de Velde9.10 T Johnstone v T Levet9.20 N Price v O EdmondSouth Africa v Germany9.30 D Frost v T Gogele9.40 R Goosen v A Cejka9.50 E Els v S StruverGROUP 4New Zealand v Argentina10.00 G Turner v E Romero10.10 F Nobilo v A Cabrera10.20 M Long v J CoceresAustralia v South Korea10.30 C Parry v Shin Yong-jin10.40 S Appleby v Kang Wook-soon10.50 S Elkington v Kim Jong-duckGROUP 2Spain v China11.00 JM Olazabal v Wu Xiang-bing11.10 MA Jimenez v Zhang Lian-wei11.20 S Luna v Cheng JunScotland v Ireland11.30 A Coltart v D Clarke11.40 G Orr v P Harrington11.50 C Montgomerie v P McGinleyGROUP 1United States v Japan12.00 J Daly v N Serizawa12.10 T Woods v K Miyamoto12.20 M O’Meara v H FujitaSweden v England12.30 M Gronberg v L Westwood12.40 P-U Johansson v D Carter12.50 P Sjoland v P Baker. “Just pretend it is the Volvo Masters you are playing in, Colin.”Coltart added: “This Paraguay and India thing is never going to leave us.
Montgomerie will be trying to win his sixth successive order of merit title at the end-of-season Volvo Masters later this month, but despite throwing a bogey, bogey finish at Monty, Zhang still won by a stroke with a level par 72.Fortunately, Andrew Coltart had already beaten Cheng Jun 73-78 while Gary Orr, level playing the last, defeated Wu Xiang-Bing 75-76 when the Chinese player three-putted on the 18th green.”So the ploy worked with Colin taking care of their danger man,” Coltart chided his captain. I wish the Open could be played here every year.”Thanks to the group format England can still qualify for the semi-finals but they now have to win their remaining two matches over Sweden and Japan, and hope that one of those sides can upset the mighty USA. The day’s one upset was South Korea beating New Zealand, the runners- up two year ago, but Scotland only just escaped adding to their catalogue of disasters at the Home of Golf which includes defeats by Paraguay and India.Zhang, a 33-year-old from Shenzhen who is ranked 532nd in the world, did follow the example of Raul Fretes and Gaurav Ghei in beating the Scottish captain. At that point, individual games won, aggregate score and inside leg measurements come into play.Sweden matched the Americans’ convincing start with a 3-0 win over Japan, while South Africa, Zimbabwe and Australia also triumphed by the same score. “I was trying to draw the ball off the TV tower with a fade.” The double bogey six at the Road Hole made the winning margin look more comfortable for the 1995 Open champion.”It was a pretty tight match, but to beat Europe’s top player gives me a lot of confidence,” Daly said “This course always inspires me.
