Ryder Cup

Europe got a taste of what us Americans cook up. Intense, brutal, and heroic play. The Americans shined at the Ryder cup this past weekend regaining the cup for the first time since 1999. As of late, those Eruopeans have been giving the Americans quite the pounding.

Momentum was taken early by the Americans, leading to a 16½-11½ final on Sunday. Not even Tiger, Tiger Woods Ya'll was needed. A collection of solid, emotionally driven players rose up with sheer patriotism unseen since the Boston Tea Party.

Here was the roster for the 37th Ryder Cup:
