It’s like déjà vu all over again…or something like that. Yes, it seems just like yesterday that the host Ryder Cup team sailed to a 10-6 advantage after the first two days. Then out of nowhere the visiting team pulled a Sunday comeback for the ages to win the cup on foreign soil.
Tom Watson and his band of not so merry men will be hoping to steal a page from the ’12 European team’s playbook at Medinah who stole a page from the American ’99 team at Brookline to find a way to win from four points down.
It’s doable as they say and it has been done before but what are the odds of it happening in two consecutive Ryder Cups? Captain Tom better hope the odds are better than just pretty good.
Here are Sundays Singles matchups and for the life of me I don’t see 8 ½ points there for Team USA.
