Tiger Woods was furious as wardrobe malfunction forced Team USA to spend £4,000 in Ryder Cup merchandise tent It is entirely plausible Team USA lost the 2010 Ryder Cup because the captain’s wife wanted names stitched into jackets. Later this month, Zach Johnson’s star-studded squad head to Europe to try and win the famous event on foreign soil for the first time in 30 years. Corey and Lisa Pavin were a Ryder Cup power coupleCredit: Getty But those three decades have been filled with comical levels of disaster for the Americans on the continent. Down the years, Team Europe have exposed their opponents by taking care of every excruciating detail at home. Only recently have Team USA followed the Europeans by going beyond the golf itself to focus on tactics and harmony in the locker room. Captain Corey Pavin decided that his wife, Lisa, would be heavily involved in the team’s preparations. But nobody could have anticipated the sheer force of her impact on the event. It began when Corey was involved in a heated row with Golf Channel reporter Jim Gray in the media centre. Gray published quotes from the Team USA captain in which he guaranteed Tiger Woods a place on the team, despite questionable form and a recent public scandal.
