Americans to defend Ryder Cup winning streak
The Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Europe's premier golfers arrived by Concorde in Walter Hagen's hometown yesterday for the 31st Ryder Cup, eager to end a 1990 losing streak against the United States.
"We've got a strong team, we've come here to win," Europe's team captain, Bernhard Langer, said.
"That Cup's not going anywhere when the week's over," Wadkins said, laughing.
The competition, held every two years, will be played Friday through Sunday at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, a Rochester suburb. Europe ended a 28-year U.S. winning streak in 1985 and retained the trophy in 1987 and 1989, but the Americans have won the last two meetings.
The supersonic jet brought 11 of the 12 members of the European squad. The 12th, England's Nick Faldo, traveled on his own Sunday and was greeted by his wife, Gill, and colleagues on the tarmac, along with some dignitaries. Bumors were circulated earlier that Faldo was getting a divorce.
"She is flying out to America to be with him and give him support in a vital tournament," manager John Simpson said. "That is hardly the actions of a woman who is about to divorce her husband."
Although the Europeans have more Ryder Cup veterans, Langer said the Americans had a few advantages.
"I expect that America will be favorites — they've got the trophy, it's on their home ground, possibly set up to suit Lanny's team," he said. "But our players won't take any account of that."
More than 1,000 people jammed the airport concourse for a glimpse of the European team. Among them were dozens of homeless people and advocates for the poor protesting the deterioration of Rochester's urban neighborhoods over the past 25 years.
One of the placards held aloof read, "Welcome to Rochester — Where there are over 100,000 low-income households."

Shell helps Chiefs defeat his old team
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Art Shell was right to dread the moment. It was about as bad as he had feared.
For 27 years, Shell had been a key contributor to the Raiders — as Pro Bowl player, assistant coach and, from 1988 until he was fired last year, head coach.
As offensive-line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, Shell experienced an emotional upheaval Sunday when the Chiefs and Raiders met for the first time since he switched sides.
"But it didn't take long for me to realize it' over with now," he said. "We got the ball, and we didn't do anything. And then our defense got the ball back, and we went in and scored in the first quarter.
"It's like a player getting ready for a game. He's nervous until after the first hit. After the first series, I was ready to go. I was too busy trying to get my linemen squared away." Shell said.
One reason Shell was fired was his team's inability to beat the Chiefs. As a coach for the Chiefs, his day was made when James Hasty intercepted Jeff Hostetler and returned the ball 64 yards in overtime to give Kansas City a 23-17 victory, its 10th in 11 regular-season matches against Shell's old team.
"I have a lot of love for some of those guys on the other side of the field," Shell said. "But sometimes you have to change forces. You have to go with different groups. I'm with the Kansas City Chiefs now, and my loyalty is totally with them."
