The U.S. had plan for this Ryder Cup ... then abandoned it

PARIS -- Captain America turned into Captain Crunch, going soggy this week in France, his bad boy image gone soft.

The guy who won the Masters in April and was such a rock for the U.S. at recent Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups couldn't find the clubface nor any kind of comfort playing alongside his idol, Tiger Woods.
