Rome had not seen such scenes since 1944, but this time it was the Yanks who were massacred by a European band of brothers, including Germans.
I suppose it was a bit disappointing that Jon Rahm left that band to go to LIV a couple of months later. But oh the memories.
I feel Rory is steadily maturing into being a worthy successor to Monty for soft focus Sky Sports reminiscences of Ryder Cups past, to be shown at Christmas. Sitting in front of a roaring fire. With a glass of scotch. In a house somewhere in the Oxfordshire countryside. Chuckling. The new Field Marshal.
This whole rent a house to a Yank for the Ryder Cup is turning into a farce altogether when the housewives of the Mid West are agog at the money that they believe may be made on it.
The website that is āadvertisingā these listings to Americans is charging ā¬380 to potential lessors, looks like it was designed using Dreamweaver in 1998 and the prices being listed for a weekās rent are wholly unrealistic. Seems like a scam if I ever saw one
Rory will need to take advice over this from the great player-managers in other sports like Sir King Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, John Giles, Tony Hanahoe and Attilio Lombardo.
US captain Keegan Bradley has NOT picked himself to play in the 2025 Ryder Cup.
He has heeded the utterly correct warnings from golf journalists and sports journalists veering out of their lane that there is no harder thing to do in human existence than to be a playing Ryder Cup captain.
