Ryder Cup Collapse

I went to bed last night pleased with the fact that the United States was well ahead in The Ryder Cup, seemingly well on their way to victory. I must admit that I neglected the coverage today, I was watching baseball and the NFL, and by the time I started seeing panicked tweets about a pending collapse much of the damage had been done. What seems clear is that right now American golf is not as strong as it used to be. Perhaps it is destiny. With the amount of money that even mediocre golfers can make these days it seems clear that this tournament now just does not mean as much. It makes for great theater, and certainly NBC most surely appreciated the fact that it tightened up, the loss is unacceptable and has to be a bitter pill to swallow for anyone invested in the success of the American team.
