Team USA!                     

          This Friday the Ryder Cup starts off better than ever. With one of the best teams they have had in a long time. “The Ryder Cup is a biennial men's golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States. The competition is contested every two years with the venue alternating between courses in the USA and Europe. The Ryder Cup is named after the English businessman Samuel Ryder who donated the trophy.”

            Team USA is consisted of Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Web Simpson, Jordan Spieth, Jimmy Walker, and Bubba Watson. The captain for Team USA is Tom Watson a retired professional golfer who has won many tournaments in his life. The Ryder Cup is being played in Perthshire, Scotland. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus a legend of the golf world.

            The European team has won the Ryder Cup the past two time, Rory McIlroy a European player says they’re going for three in a row but I believe that Team USA has a more solid team all the way through and not just two top players.   

 

 Rickie Fowler a 25 year old on the USA team shaved his head with “USA” on the side of it in honor of playing for the US. This bold action got Rickie a lot of attention in this week’s media.
