Watching the President's Cup channel today and they replayed the tied game in South Africa with Player and Nicklaus as Captains.
Not sure I'd ever seen the scenes at the end before but it was unbelievable. Finishes square, Els and Woods play a play off and are square after three holes when the light is gone. No-one has ever considered the possibility of a draw so there are no rules written.
They come together on the green and agree they can't play anymore. Player gets on the phone to Tim Finchem with the crowd and TV cameras all around him and says they want to halve it. Then Nicklaus jumps on the phone and says the US hold the cup so they ge to keep it.
That kicks off Els and the International players who no longer want to call it off and instead want a result.
The teams break into their own groups and discuss, Player comes back and says they want to play now to which Nicklaus says it's too dark. The US players make it clear they don't want to hang around for an extra day and are leaving, so they then offer to split the Cup which is accepted.
All of this plays out live in front of the cameras. And people say the AFL is dodgy.
