During the chaotic celebration just moments after the United States clinched victory against Europe at the Ryder Cup last month, Zach Johnson was looking for somebody to hug. He was walking down the 18th hole at Hazeltine when he saw Tiger Woods -- make that vice captain Tiger Woods -- barreling toward him. T sees me out of the corner of his eye and starts running at me, Johnson recalled. We had a big old hug. I was emotional; he was emotional.Then, Woods took off.He was the assistant responsible for a quartet of team members that included Matt Kuchar, who was still playing in the last match on the course. As Woods quickly explained to Johnson following that tearful embrace, even though the overall result was decided, he still needed to oversee his mans match to fruition.Thats just one story about Woods first venture in a captaincy role, but there are plenty of others. Like the one about him calling captain Davis Love III with some ideas about potential Saturday pairings -- before the roster was even finalized. Or the one about him teaming up with Jack Nicklaus during the week to poke fun at Love for a poor shot from years earlier. Or the one about Woods good-naturedly getting ribbed by team members in the aftermath for failing to play in each of the two U.S. victories this century.I told him, All I know is that the last two Ryder Cups we won, you werent a part of, man, Brandt Snedeker recalled with a laugh. Maybe weve got a trend going on.All of these stories about Woods time as an assistant are preceded and followed by connective tissue that tells more about his dedication to the role than any anecdote. He worked at it. He strategized. He formulated plans. And most importantly, despite what so many have often insisted in regard to his attitude toward this biennial competition, he cared -- a lot.He doesnt do anything halfway -- lift weights, ride bikes, whatever. He jumps in, Love explained. He was so focused and driven. I can just flip through his text messages and show you pictures of pairings, plan A, plan B, cold weather pairings versus hot weather, wet versus dry. No wonder the guy is so successful.If Love was the teams general manager, then Woods was like the head coach calling the plays. Or maybe if Love was the head coach, then Woods was the offensive coordinator figuring out the Xs and Os. There might not be a perfect analogy, but its clear that Woods role with the team was hardly ceremonial or lackadaisical.Tiger as an assistant, I think that raised a few eyebrows. I think folks were concerned about his level of involvement, but it was just the opposite. He was really a part of it, said fellow vice captain Jim Furyk. He was on top of pairings and ideas and lineups and orders, way, way, way ahead of time. He fully bought in.He had situational options already on paper -- practice rounds, formats, weather, Friday through Sunday, Johnson added. He was all-in. He was all-in with this team from Day 1.Woods impact extended beyond the details, too.Its no coincidence that he was assigned to the pod that included Patrick Reed -- and perhaps no coincidence that Reed turned in one of the most impressive performances in Ryder Cup history with his childhood idol watching. It was a big part of what Patrick Reed did that Tiger Woods was his guy, Love explained. Everybody had their role .... That was for a reason.You look at some of those young guys on the team, Furyk said. They grew up idolizing Tiger Woods. He was the most dominant player in the history of golf at one time. Now hes a captain. One of them said, Wow, hes actually our captain and hes talking to us. They just looked up to him so much. They had him on this pedestal. They got to see him in the team room and be one of the guys pumping them up.For everything Woods meant to the team, the team -- from all accounts -- meant just as much to him. He wasnt involved in the last U.S. victory in 2008, which means it had been 17 years since hed been part of a winning Ryder Cup side.I think it really meant a lot to Tiger to be a part of something like that, Furyk said. All of us have done stuff on our own and accomplished different feats individually, but its special to do something as a group and I think it meant a lot to every one of us to win, and I think it meant a lot to Tiger to have those guys embrace him like they did.All of which leads to one more story about Woods from that week. It was hours after the team had clinched the win, after the champagne spraying and the closing ceremonies and the media interviews. In the midst of the afterparty, Woods pulled a few players together and recalled an old memory. This one was from 1999, when the U.S. had won at Brookline in come-from-behind fashion. Woods went to sleep before most of his teammates that night, only to be awoken by Payne Stewart, who implored him to return to the party.Stewart told him to remember that night, because it was so special. Woods recalled this story as he huddled with those players Sunday night after the win. He echoed those words that Stewart had told him so many years ago.Remember this night, he told them. This is a special night.Jean-Sebastien Giguere Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Chris Pronger Jersey . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. https://www.cheapducks.com/357c-jason-marshall-jersey-ducks.html . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Samuel Pahlsson Jersey . Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Josh Mahura Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.BOSTON -- One week after jamming his right shoulder while diving into second base as a pinch runner, pitcher Steven Wright was placed on the 15-day disabled list, the Boston Red Sox announced Sunday.Wright missed a start last week but had said he was 50-50 to make his next one, scheduled for Thursday night in Detroit, depending on the outcome of a bullpen session Monday. But with the inflammation in Wrights shoulder not subsiding as quickly as he hoped, the team decided to shut him down for a few days. The DL move is retroactive to Aug. 8, leaving Wright eligible to pitch as soon as Aug. 23.Its just not progressing the way I thought it was going to, Wright said after the Red Sox routed the Arizona Diamondbacks?16-2 at Fenway Park on Sunday. It just hurts, man. I dont want to go out there and throw with too much pain because I dont want to start compensating. If its hurting as much as it has been on flat ground, you start adding the mound and all that adrenaline, the last thing I want to do is hurt myself even more.Right-hander Clay Buchholz will continue to take Wrights turn in the rotation. Buchholz gave up three runs on three hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings Saturday night against Arizona.The Red Sox will announce a corresponding roster move before Mondays game in Cleveland; it seems as though outfielder Bryce Brentz will be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket. Brentz was pulled from a game Sunday, and manager John Farrell said the Red Sox are aiminng to have a full complement of bench players.ddddddddddddWright had been playing catch from as far as 100 feet on flat ground and said he didnt notice any diminished life on either his knuckleball or fastball. What he did feel, however, was a pinching sensation in his shoulder, the result of the inflammation. An MRI exam last week didnt reveal any structural damage to the rotator cuff or the labrum. Wright isnt aware of additional testing.The Red Sox are locked in a three-way fight to win the American League East and cant afford to lose Wright for a considerable amount of time. Other than right-hander Rick Porcello, who improved to 16-3 on Sunday, Wright has been the Red Soxs most consistent starter, notching a 3.01 ERA and 123 strikeouts in a career-high 146 2/3 innings over 22 starts.Asked if he believes he will be able to pitch at full strength again this season, Wright said hes super-confident.The stuff that Ive been doing with the trainer, from the first time when I came in on Tuesday until now, its been significant gains, Wright said. Its just not where we need it to be. Now that we can take a couple of extra days to really get after it, Im sure itll be fine.The Red Sox also announced first baseman Hanley Ramirez will be placed on the three-day bereavement list. Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Sunday. ' ' '
