He spent Tuesday and Wednesday competing!off in the Ryder Cup - the inaugural Junior Ryder Cup, which matched 12-player coed teams of teen-agers from England and the U.S. at the K Club in Straffan, Ireland, near Dublin. Europe won the first official Junior Ryder Cup, as it had prevailed in two of three previous unofficial test runs, starting with a Sergio Garcia-led 7-5 victory in Rochester, N.Y., in 1995. But Wilcox made his presence felt, combining with Shaun Felchner of Hawaii for the only U.S. victory in Tuesday's best-ball matches, then teaming with Tiffany Chudy of Temecula to battle through 17 holes before losing 2 and 1 Wednesday in mixed four-ball play. Wilcox, who barely had time for two practice rounds after a delayed flight to Ireland, was just as pressed for down time at the other end, rising at 3:30 a.m. today for a flight from Dublin to Birmingham, England, to be on hand for opening ceremonies of the senior Ryder Cup matches. ``They've got him busy, and he's enjoying it a lot, but I know he's tired,'' Wilcox's father, Darrin, said of his son's golf week of a lifetime. ``He's missed nine days of school, but he couldn't miss that opportunity.''
