The Ryder Cup Was Lost in the Last Two Four-Ball Matches on Saturday Afternoon

Everyone witnessed Steve Stricker’s missed par putt on No. 17 at Medinah on Sunday afternoon which gave Martin Kaymer a 1-up lead on the 18th tee.

When Luke Donald... 

Rafael Nadal’s Injury Woes Continue to Raise Questions

It’s that time of the year again—the period of silence on the ATP tour, as far as concerns the Big Four, at least: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray. Federer has gone off for a bit of a break, citing fatigue; Djokovic perhaps announced the start of the race for the No. 1 ranking when he confirmed his participation in the China Open and Andy Murray will likewise set off his bid for... 

Ryder Cup 2012 Results: What US Learned from Epic Meltdown Against Europe

Many of the players were shocked after these events transpired at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois. According to Reuters, U.S. captain Davis... 

Ryder Cup 2014: Team USA’s Young Golfers Will Learn from Epic Collapse

Luckily for the United States Ryder Cup team, the next meeting with Europe is two years away. It will probably take that long for the players to shake off the shocking defeat at Medinah. Looking ahead to Gleneagles in 2014, the young American golfers have learned a valuable lesson. For two days, Team USA received inspired play from the likes of Keegan Bradley and Webb Simpson, the youngest players... 

Is David Ferrer or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga the Bigger China Open Threat to Djokovic?

David Ferrer: No. 2 Seed For all appearances, World No. 5 David Ferrer is playing tennis like a madman in 2012. So far this year, Ferrer reached the quarterfinals of the 2012 Australian Open, the semifinals of the French Open and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, where he fell to Andy Murray.

Ryder Cup 2012: US Choke Job Caps Off Season to Forget for Stars

The U.S. should be embarrassed. In the 2012 Ryder Cup, the Americans held what should’ve been an insurmountable lead over Europe going into Sunday’s action. Instead, they pulled off one of golf’s greatest choke jobs in recent memory. But for how this season has played out for the nation’s most notable names—Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson—the finish was quite fitting. The... 

Ryder Cup 2012: Breaking Down the Americans’ Epic Collapse

The Europeans completed a historic comeback to win the 2012 Ryder Cup. Meanwhile, this year’s American team will have to live with their disappointing meltdown.

However, they would have to do it on foreign soil, whereas the Americans... 

Ryder Cup 2012 Winner: Europeans Who Will Translate Win into PGA Tour Success

The Ryder Cup 2012‘s final Sunday belonged to Team Europe.

Roger Federer: Was His Tennis Generation of Competitors Really so Weak?

The 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals arrives in November, and No. 1 ranked Roger Federer still tops the list. Eight years have passed since his meteoric rise to the top of the tennis world, and while other great players have challenged and disappeared, he has outlasted the usual shelf life for greatness. Tennis fans and critics often scrutinize Federer’s prime years. The pro-Federer perspective... 

Tiger Woods’ Ryder Cup Performance Proves Icon Still Hasn’t Returned to Top Form

Tiger Woods was the Europeans’ best player in the 2012 Ryder Cup. Whether it was his drives into the crowd, his wedges missing the greens or his putts going wide, Woods was dismal this weekend when the Americans needed him most. He was so bad, in fact, that U.S. captain David Love III chose to bench Woods during the Saturday morning session, as evident in this ESPN tweet. For the 1st time in...
