U.S. Wins The Ryder Cup
By The Hair Of Our Chin
The Ryder Cup matches were most interesting to watch. Interesting lor
a number of reasons. The special pressures that the matches imposed on the
competitors who were playing lor
their respective countries was very
obvious. Also made interesting by a
very difficult golf course with strong
winds blowing off the Atlantic
Ocean across a barrier island.
Possibly the most fascinating
aspect of the event was the match
play format. Today's professional
golfers almost never compete at
match play. As we weekend golfers
know, match play is quite different from stroke play. Vou can take a bundle
of strokes on any given hole and still only lose one hole. Likewise, you can
be down three or four holes and still come back to win your match. We saw
that happen several times during the singles matches on Sunday at Kiawah.
Alternate Shots Need A Good Marriage
The two-man team competition on Friday and Saturday, both the alter
nate shot format and die best ball format, placed the players in yet another
unfamiliar set of circumstances. The alternate shot formal is one we seldom
see or play in this country. The last alternate shot formal 1 played was in a
"fun and games" tournament for fathers and sons. It goes without question
that you need to be teamed with a compatible partner. When you hit a good
drive and then watch your partner butcher his approach shot, you smile. But
your teeth are never far apart in those smiles.
Both the U.S. and the Europeans had some terrific teams. Ray Floyd
and Freddy Couples had played as a team with great success before the
Ryder Cup. The Spanish team of Sevi and Jose Maria also seemed to be
able to get it together when it really counted. Sevi is ever the magician
when it comes to inventing shots.

A Real Roller Coaster
The way the matches unfolded also seemed to build pressure on the
American team. They vaulted U) a 3-1 lead the tirst morning and then lost
that lead in the afternoon matches. On Saturday they seemed to repeat that
process. Then in ihe singles matches the Americans built big leads over the
front nine and had trouble holding their leads on the back nine.
The match between Mark Calcavecchia of the U.S. and Colin
Montgomerie of Europe was an emotional roller coaster ride for bo tit play
ers. Calcavecchia had played well during the team matches on Friday and
Saturday and began strong on Sunday. He had Montgomerie down from the
git-go and stood on the 15th tee four holes up. Mark was dormie and had
only to halve (lie) any of the last four holes 10 w in the match and a valuable
point for the Americans. Montgomery was faced with the task of needing
to win all of the last four holes just level their match lor half of a point.
There is no need to reconstruct those last four holes. Montgomerie won
all four. You only need to relive the 17th hole, as Calcavecchia will no
doubt dream about it until the 1993 Ryder Cup. Montgomerie hit his tee
shot into the water on the very difficult par three. Calcavecchia could have
put his tec shot anywhere within an acre and won the match, but nooo. He
not only hit it in the water, he cold topped it. Pressure? You better believe
it. He must have been breathing through a straw.
Calcavecchia Wins Ryder Cup For U.S.
As it turned out it was Calcavecchia's hall point that allowed the U.S.
team to take possession of the Ryder Cup. Had he lost his match, the U.S.
team would have tied the Europeans and ihe cup would have remained in
the custody of the Europeans as was the case in 19X9. Don't try to tell
Calcavecchia that he won the Ryder Cup. He is in no mood to listen to
Monday morning quarterbacks like me. I ll bet no one has had the guls to
ask him w hat happened on 16. And ihe first one that does had better duck
when they ask.
Before someone lakes me to ia.sk lor focusing on Calcavecchia's nine
over par on the back nine, let nie hasten to point out that there were several
scores that would have been in ihe XOs had ihe strokes been counted. After
Nick Faldo defeated Ray Floyd he remarked thai he was glad that they did
not have to keep a scorecard for the round, li just goes to show how intense
this most remarkable competition was for all ihe players.
A Great Show For Golf
1 for one am very pleased that the Ryder Cup finally got the kind of
coverage it deserves. I was also pleased with the sportsmanship of the play
ers and particularly of the American spectators who applauded all the good
shots no matter which team made them. A real golfer knows a good shot
and a great effort when he sees them
I only wish that they played this event every year.
