RYDER CUP: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE US-EUROPE MATCH
"I feel great about our pairings. Some teams that have played together over the years, whether in Ryder Cups or some Presidents Cups, so we wouldn't put them out there if we didn't feel good about them, let me just put it that way," U.S. captain Steve Stricker said Thursday, via PGA Tour’s website. "So we are extremely excited about how these guys are playing, and the order of which they are going out.
