THE MORNING BREW Golfers exhibit passion and energy in Ryder Cup
Q: How many times has the U.S. won the Ryder Cup before 2012 with Tiger Woods on the team?
While millions of Americans tuned in to watch another weekend of college and NFL football, one
of the great sporting events of the year also took place: the Ryder Cup.
Golf's premier event, which occurs every two years, pits the United States against Europe in a team format that brings out the passion and competition that is the game of golf.
Rather than playing for money and fame, players play for their country. And rather than playing for themselves like in regular golf tournaments, egos are set aside and true character is seen through team play.
Watching the Ryder Cup is a completely different experience than watching any other golf tournament. It elevates the game from something you fall asleep watching on a Sunday afternoon, to something that makes you sit on the edge of your seat.
Every two years, the venue for the Ryder Cup changes from a course in Europe to a course in the U.S., and the home-field advantage you see in other sports is instantly a factor in golf as well. Normally a reserved and quiet game, fans at the Ryder Cup carry flags representing their beloved team and chant wildly as their team makes a
clutch putt or the other team misses.
The event this weekend featured many of the top golfers in the world, including Tiger Woods, Rory Mcmilroy, Phil Mickleson and Lee Westwood, to name a few, and if you watched any of the Ryder Cup this weekend, you got to see an amazing sporting spectacle.
This weekend at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill., the Europeans completed the most historic comeback on foreign soil, beating the U.S. in impressive fashion to reclaim the cup.
You saw Keegan Bradley, the young American playing in his first Ryder Cup, sink putts and fist pump like a mad man,
imploring the crowd to go wild as his caddy waved around the flag stick in celebration.
You saw Tiger Woods make a crucial putt down the stretch of his match Friday afternoon and react the way the old Tiger Woods used to, pointing to the next tee, flipping his putter and walking with a stare that even Ray Lewis would fear.
You also saw Martin Kayner, the former No. 1 player in the world, who since has looked lost on the golf course at times, sink the putt on the last hole to cap off the European's historic comeback.
But most importantly, you saw an event that truly encapsulates what sport is. If you don't think golf is a sport, than you have never watched the Ryder Cup, because the Ryder Cup has everything a sports fan could possibly want.
On Friday and Saturday, most golfers are out on the course competing for eight hours, hitting shots that normal people couldn't imagine hitting, and making putts with thousands of people watching them on the course and millions more watching at home.
The passion displayed from the players and fans makes this event what it is, and it
did not fail to disappoint.
The Ryder Cup is the one event in golf where fans can be fans and the world's best golfers can compete against each other in a unique team environment that truly reveals character.
While the timing of the Ryder Cup is not exactly ideal with football taking up television priorities, for me it is on par with some of the greatest sporting events in the world. And again, if you don't believe me, I have one simple question: Did you watch?
