MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The handshake between Tiger Woods and ex-caddie Steve Williams was routine. The loss by Woods and Steve Stricker turned out to be the real drama in the Presidents Cup.

Adam Scott and K.J. Choi were relentless Thursday at Royal Melbourne in dishing out the worst loss Woods has ever suffered in any format of match play. The International tandem won 7 and 6, tying the record for biggest margin of victory in Presidents Cup history.

Woods and Stricker, undefeated two years ago, turned out to be the only weak link for the Americans.

They won three matches handily, and rallied to halve two other matches to build a 4-2 lead after the opening session.
