USA in Position to Break Ryder Cup Drought Thanks to Patrick Reed’s Birdie Binge

With an animated wave of a hand, Patrick Reed gestured toward the crowd of boisterous fans standing a few feet away, many of them singing songs or chanting his name. He’d contested two fierce matches in the Ryder Cup on Saturday, and while the roars had finally begun to subside, there were times when it seemed as though all 45,000 on the property at Hazeltine National Golf Club were screaming in decibel-busting unison at his shots. His ears practically ringing from the cacophony of noise, Reed tried to explain why, of all the places to play the most impressive golf of his career, it has happened... 

Ryder Cup 2016: Winners and Losers from Day 2

Friday’s morning session at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, saw the U.S. side rush out to a 4-0 lead in foursomes play. And if the afternoon session at the 41st Ryder Cup hadn’t tilted decidedly in Europe’s favor, this could most succinctly be a two-slider: “Winner: U.S” and “Loser: Europe.” Instead, the Europeans battled back, winning three of the four points in four-ball to pull closer on the scoreboard at 5-3 entering the second day of competition. The four-ball session was punctuated by Rory McIlroy’s eagle putt and jubilant...

Patrick Reed Standing out as Best Hope to Lead USA to 2016 Ryder Cup Win

The pair looked like two of the monkeys in the fabled drawing we’ve all seen myriad times over the years. You know, that decades-old depiction of three chimps covering their eyes, ears and mouth, respectively. Ryder Cup standout Patrick Reed and partner Jordan Spieth stood at the back of the ninth green Friday morning at Hazeltine National, pretending to be oblivious to all, as Henrik Stenson of the European team was forced to tap in a 20-inch par putt that the U.S. duo had stubbornly declined to concede. Spieth stood with his arms folded, while Reed had his hands thrust deep in his pockets,... 

Ryder Cup 2016: Winners and Losers from Day 1

Day 1 of the 41st Ryder Cup started with a sweep and ended with an eagle. Team USA’s foursomes exited the morning matches 4-0 on the heels of its two young guns, the balloon of which was soon punctured by the FedEx Cup winner. ESPN golf writer Michael Collins said it best when Team USA’s Patrick Reed hit his tee shot on the first hole: “For the U.S. team it can’t be overstated how important that first match is to set the tone for the squad. Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth are sending a clear message not only to Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose but to every other match on the...

Ryder Cup 2016: Rules, Format and Points System Primer for Golf Tournament

Europe will look to extend its run of dominance over the United States in the 2016 Ryder Cup starting Friday. The European team has captured the coveted international trophy six times in the past seven competitions, including three straight wins dating back to 2010. The Americans have a golden opportunity to bring an end to the drought this weekend, though. Along with getting to compete on home soil, Team USA looks like the more well-rounded squad on paper, which is why they enter the event as -185 moneyline favorites (bet $185 to win $100), per Stephen Campbell of Odds Shark.

Team USA’s Forgotten Formula for Winning the Ryder Cup

The magnitude of the moment had barely begun to register with Paul Azinger as he sat at the decorated dais, the crowd trickling out of the room, his wife at his left elbow and a bottled water in his hand. His team had just won the 2008 Ryder Cup in demonstrative fashion, ending a run of European dominance that had become a point of embarrassment, if not occasional outrage, to the captains, players and, heck, most of America. As his victorious team filed out of the press center, Azinger fidgeted with the plastic bottle and faced the inevitable question about signing on for another hitch as captain....
