he Ryder Cup matches are intense. From the
perspective of pro golfers and their fans, the
Ryder Cup is the biggest event in the game.
Golfers who normally compete for themselves
(and have disparate fan bases) are joined as
members of a team representing
their country, and fan fervor gets whipped into a
frenzy when the fl ag is involved.
Emotions, momentum and competitive spirit
harnessed into a 350-yard drive, a nervy approach
over water or a thrilling 8-foot putt rule the proceedings,
and the outcome can turn on one stroke
of a club.
And all that's coming to Hazeltine National Golf
Club this fall.
The United States dominated the fi rst 57 years
of the Ryder Cup matches, when they competed
against just Great Britain and Ireland. So in 1979,
in order to make the event more competitive, the
rest of Europe joined together to battle the Americans,
and ever since then, it's been a battle royale
that leaves all other similar match play competitions
(e.g., the Presidents Cup, the Solheim Cup,
the Walker Cup) in its wake.

Leads have been built and squandered, fortunes have changed

petition, this biennial golf tournament thrives on
it. Teams of lone wolves are formed in the unique
alchemy of national pride, in which the team that
bonds together the best to play for each other and
their country usually comes out the victor.
The Ryder Cup matches have produced some
magical, contentious, heroic and downright dramatic
results. And the fans at Hazeltine should expect
nothing less. Here's a look at some of the most
memorable moments, and what kind of drama
Minnesota golf fans can hope for come fall.
Classic Battles
You know it's a big-time event when the proceedings
garner a nickname. Take the 1991 Ryder Cup
matches at Kiawah Island, S.C., for example, which
will forever be known as the War by the Shore. Several
