Ryder Cup assistant is title Goydos can enjoy. His team won't be finalized for another 6 months, but U.S. Ryder Cup captain Cory Pavin has set his roster of assistants to help him at Celtic Manor in Whales this October. The foursome includes three predictable names-Tom Lehman, Davis Love III and Jeff Sluman-and one unusual choice: Paul Goydos.
"It came down to me and Brett Farve," quipped Goydos, offering a glimpse of the dry wit that Pavin believes can help the American squad win overseas for the first time since 1993. Goydos' joke emanated from Fred Couples' selection of Michael Jordon as an assistant when he captioned last year's U.S. Presidents Cup experience, he noted:"I have as much as Michael Jordan."
He is unconventional, thinks outside the box and is an excellent judge of character and talent," Pavin said of Goydos.
