USA wins Ryder Cup

Somehow the young rookies pulled off the upset against the europeans in this weekends Ryder Cup. It was quite an entertaining tournament, with all of the US players getting the crowed into the match. I have not watched a golf match since Tiger Won that ridiculous US Open match. I do watch golf, but without Tiger, it just does not feel the same to me. But this weekend most definitely proved me wrong. You can watch golf without The Tiger Woods, and this was one of the more exciting matches I have watched.

Today marked the first the Americans have the won Ryder cup since 1999. Your final score was 16 ½ to 11 ½ with your Americans coming out on top. This was actually the largest margin of victory since the US beat Europe 18 ½ to 9 ½. Like the majority of the weekend, it was the rookies that dominated and got the crowd going as they went 4-1-1 on Sundays Single's matches. It was the rookie Anthony Kim who got the crowd going first. Both players birdied the first hole for a half and that is as close as it got. Kim handed Garcia a crushing 5 and 4 defeat. Kim was so into the match that after he made the winning putt on No. 14, he began walking to the 15th tee thinking there was more work to be done. When Kim was finally stopped and told he won, he walked back onto the green to take a bow. Boo Weekley, another rookie, played some of the best golf of his career on Sunday. He pounced all over Oliver Wilson like he was absoltuly nothing.

This one of the first times in quite awhile the Americans actually looked like a team. "This Ryder Cup is pretty awesome. This is unreal" "I think the more we're together, the closer we are going to get. I think we actually became a family and that's something we've been missing in the past, a little bit of laughter and cutting up. He gave us ping pong and he gave us foosball and he gave us every opportunity to have fun, and if we couldn't take advantage of it, it was our own damned fault, you know what I mean?"

I am so happy that the americans were able to pull off the upset in such a dominate fashion, but also in such an exciting way. It truely looked like they were having the time of their life and as did the crowd, which is something you rarely see in golf.
