Opis

No event galvanises golf fans more than the Ryder Cup: this is when general sports enthusiasts suddenly become obsessed with the game. For 2014, excitement is already building on both sides of the Atlantic. Following the devastating defeat at Medinah in 2012, the Americans are pulling out all the stops, sending a clear signal with the appointment of veteran Ryder Cup hero Tom Watson as captain. Opinionated, formerly a heavy drinker, and complicated, Watson is one of the legends of the game, and hugely popular in both the US and Europe. Put under pressure, the Europeans have eschewed veterans such as Colin Montgomerie in favour of an outlier: Irishman Paul McGinley, a diminutive stalwart touring pro, a team man and an astute tactician. It is a fight between acumen and aura. This book tells the inside story of an enthralling contest: from the build-up, including the appointment of both captains and the assembly of their teams, through to the dramas of the week at Gleneagles. Would America win a match they couldn't afford to lose, or would Europe cling on to the trophy for the third contest running?
