The Ryder teams, both Euro and US are more about getting the best/hottest players on the course at the right time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416894103204963104.post-36168091421463347462011-11-21T08:37:56.271-05:002011-11-21T08:37:56.271-05:00Just swapping Vijay for Allenby would have helped ...Just swapping Vijay for Allenby would have helped a ton.<br /><br />Thx for the look!Average Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046762898552584292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416894103204963104.post-12138308344662730262011-11-21T08:31:39.512-05:002011-11-21T08:31:39.512-05:00Regarding Norman's comments, what's he goi...Regarding Norman's comments, what's he going to ask for next, two a side to even things up? Just get better players and the competition will be more compelling. The Prez cup is a minor league event compared to Ryder and exists to leverage Ryder for a little off-season buzz and some extra cash. Great summary, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
