Hi Roffians, How many of you are interested in the Ryder Cup. Seems this year that the PGA et al. have messed the schedule up so much that the Ryder Cup got lost in the noise. At least for me -- normally I'd be interested, not this year. The whole FedEx Cup thing pushed too far into the fall to give time to build "team spirit" for the Ryder Cup event. I hope they fix this in the future. In any case, it appears Team USA is tanking... Jon. |

Corey Pavin assembled a fine team who gave a great display of top class golf. The final result was in the balance until the very last match. Well done USA but tough luck in the end.
