Quieter than most Ryder Cups, Smitty took care of business on the course winning 5 of 7 matches and earning 2 greenies.  Played very well in Match Play but lost to the leader of the top 4 golfers.  Set a new record for earliest departure in a Screw-Your-Neighbor tournament as he exited at the 5 minute mark.
