Phil has looked like a shell for awhile now, I don't think it was a case of not showing up for this tournament. Tiger also looked more physically drained than uninterested/unmotivated.
I realize there's precedence for Tiger not doing well at Ryder Cups but he looked like a kid again in these past few tournaments and you could see the fire inside when he started turning it around today. That was a guy that shouldn't have been playing because he's played too much high pressure golf this month, not because he didn't care.
