For the sake of the event itself, I hope the Americans win it this time around! The Ryder Cup is, has, and always will be my favourite golfing event. I used to love watching the Ryder Cup even before Europe could manage to win it! Of all the golf forums I use, it`s always the Ryder Cup threads that I check out first, as they`re the threads I`m the most interested in!

Unlike the Majors, where the drama usually starts on the back nine on Sunday afternoon.... the Ryder Cup by contrast has nerves/drama normally from the first tee-shot on the Friday morning. Even Tiger`s first tee-shot landed in the river in Ireland last time around, after what looked like an unusually tight swing.
