Its official, Rory Mcilroy has won. The comeback was one of the best of the year; Rory was three back of Louis Oosthuizen starting the day after Louis's incredible day on Saturday shooting an 8 under par 63, after birdying 7 of the first 9 holes.
In other news the Ryder Cup team was announced on Tuesday, Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, and Phil Mickelson all made the team by points, and Captain Davis Love the III made his picks and they were Brandt Snedeker, for his putting and great match play, Dustin Johnson, for his incredible distance off the tee and great short game, Jim Furyk who is one of the most consistent ball strikers in history, and Steve Striker who is great in match play and pairs perfectly with Tiger. It is a strong year for the U.S. team.
The European team this year is Rory Mcilroy, Paul Lawrie Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Martian Kaymer, Peter Hanson, and Fransisco Molinari. The two captain’s picks by Jose Maria Olazabal are Ian Poulter and Nicolas Colsaerts, for their great match play records.

This will be a good week between the United States and Europe, for those who don't know the Ryder Cup is the duel between the United States and Europe. This challenge is held every two years and rotates where it is held, this year it will be at Medinha Country Club just outside of Chicago. My prediction, the U.S. wins in singles match play.

  2. When is the Ryder cup held? I think it's really fun when golf tournaments become team sport. It would be fun to do something like that here.
