Sky Sports - Ryder Cup

'Gentleman Jim' has played in the last five matches and like most of his teammates, has a losing record. The 38-year-old from Pittsburgh was at one time expected to make a decent partnership with Tiger Woods, but that failed to materialise after a couple of mis-fires. Equipped with a distinctive, two-stage loopy swing, Furyk's best major result of the season was a tie for fifth at Birkdale, but he has never been a prolific winner (just 13 PGA Tour victories in 16 years) and this has been a typically consistent season. 23 events, 20 cuts made, seven top 10s, no wins, another $2.5million in the bank. A few years ago the prospect of facing Furyk may have caused a few nerves amongst the European team, but his career has been in a gentle decline since 2006 and his reputation for steadiness is sliding. Winning record in the Presidents Cup, but which American hasn't?
