The Ryder Cup has made for some great viewing over the past three days. I couldn’t believe the amount of putts that the Europeans sank, especially today – the Americans had no answer. Clarke’s emotion on winning and the respect that his fellow golfers had for him was good to see although I think the BBC saying that ‘Sweden’s Henrik Stenson robbed Darren Clarke of a fairytale ending’ was a bit strong. Highlights were Casey’s hole in one and Clarke’s chip in on the 16th yesterday.
High fives to Sky also – their HD coverage of the tournament was superb. Overall a tremendous tournament made better by us winning…and in some style too.
T’was mighty fine watching this morning, the US commentators were pretty much stunned by the collapse of the Americans
After two 18½-9½ whitewashes, maybe it’s time the Americans rethought their selection system, or maybe Europe needs to look elsewhere for challengers, I’d love to see Vijay Singh or Ernie Els in a Ryder Cup for instance, kind of like the Presidents Sup the US plays against “the rest of the world”.
