Justice for Gilford. In 1991, American Steve Pate sustained injuries in a car crash on the Wednesday before the event. He was able to play on the Saturday but was not deemed fit enough to compete in the Sunday singles. The Europe envelope was opened and English rookie David Gilford was the man to miss out as the US went on to win 14½ - 13½.
Look at it this way, it gave all those yank fans belief they would actually win, then dashed those hopes upon the rocks of defeat.
Best Ryder Cup ever? I know they set it up easy for this level, but there were birdies and eagles flying in from all angles yesterday. The Yanks today were cromulent, tbf. Pure joy to watch it these last three nights.
