Wales is playing host to this year’s home of golf’s version of March Madness: The Ryder Cup.

This is the 38th meeting between the United States and Europe, the Americans are the defending champions. The par-71 Celtic Manor Resort course was designed specifically to host the 2010 Ryder Cup, and features several risky holes to mentally challenge the best golfers in the world.
