Ryder Cup Golf Quiz

Ladies

The Ryder Cup is played every other year between 24 players representing the United States of America and Europe. This weekend the twenty eight 2014 matches are to be played at Gleneagles, Scotland. In 2012 the final score was Europe 14.5 USA 13.5. Europe has won 7 of the last 9 Ryder Cups, who will win this time? The Europeans have a very strong team which includes McIlroy, Garcia and Poulter. The USA team includes the veterans Mickelson and Furyk, along with the rookies Spieth and Reed. Fierce competitiveness and strategy is the key to winning in Ryder Cup Match Play. Rickie Fowler just got a new haircut with U S A shaved into the side of his head so maybe this will spur the USA team on? As I am English and an American citizen too I am torn who to root for, but my “roots” are swaying my allegiance, I say Europe wins again! Sorry……
