All the strategising is complete and the two captains have laid out their team line-ups for the final day. Monty leads the charge for the Europeans as he has done so impressively and successfully in the past. Europe need just four and a half points to win. Based on the evidence of the first two ...

Just as in Brookline in 1999, Europe take a 10-6 lead into the final day of the Ryder Cup. The memories of Justin Leonard's epic comeback on that Sunday afternoon still linger sufficiently with the European team to prevent any complacency from developing in their thoughts and behaviour. Paranoia asi... (Read on...)

Often, the foursome format can be a greater differentiator than the fourball given the absence of a second chance to cover for a mistake but this afternoon saw an amazingly tight contest with all four games ending on the 18th green. Only the wonderful Sergio Garcia and his partner Luke Donald ended ... (Read on...)

Europe lead by 2.5 points to 1.5 points after today's fourball matches. In many respects, the matches turned out as expected but I think the Europeans should feel a little frustrated not to have been further ahead given the relatively poor play of Woods & Mickelson.
The pairings of Casey & Karlss... (Read on...)

It may be over five hours since the first ball was hit at the Ryder Cup this morning but all four matches are still in progress. The top match is on the 18th with Tiger & Furyk 1-up. Matches 2 & 4 are all square, with everything to play for but it looks like a certain point for the Europeans wit... (Read on...)

All four matches are now on in the inward nine and all of a sudden, it looks like it could be a much better morning for the US team. The inability of Monty and Harrington to make any kind of putt has allowed Furyk & Woods to take a 3-hole lead after 13. It must be hugely frustrating to Ian Woosnam... (Read on...)

Many people get very excited about the uniforms worn by the teams in the Ryder Cup so here's a quick review of how well, or otherwise, the two teams have looked on this beautiful September morning.
The Americans are clad by Ralph Lauren and are sporting grey and white diamonds on their swea... (Read on...)

Remarkably, after two hours of golf, none of the four matches has yet gone more than 1-up in any direction. This keeps the possibility of a sweep for either team still alive although the early evidence suggests the Europeans are the likely winners of this day and the tournament.
Tiger Woods has h... (Read on...)

Despite all the fears of disruption and delay, the 36th Ryder Cup has started in glorious sunshine at the K-Club. The golf has been nothing short of spectacular so far, some highlights:
Tiger Woods hooking his first tee shot right into the River Liffey to much 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the gall... (Read on...)

The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious events in the sporting calendar. The glamour associated with the Ryder Cup is a pretty heady combination of the gravitas of the history of the event, the superstar status of the players, the fervour of the teams to win for their "country" and the huge...

When Samuel Ryder first sponsored the competition that bears his name in 1927, it's unlikely that he would have predicted the emergence of WAGs, Park & Ride, blogs, airport-style security and triple-decker corporate boxes. But it's certain he would have welcomed the heavyweight battle that starts th... (Read on...)
