The drama of an NFL Sunday is hard to top. Except when an underdog team of American golfers is competing for its country against Europe in an improbable upset scenario going in to the final day. The passion and intensity displayed at this weekends Ryder Cup made for the most dramatic and entertaining golf I have ever watched.
The American team, led by the play of Anthony Kim, came in to this weekend without a lot of pressure as the Europeans held the trophy and were highly favored to defend it. A massive gallery surrounded every hole of the course on Sunday, offering prideful eruptions after each clutch shot the American team executed, creating an atmosphere comparable to Davis Cup tennis.
Turning what typically is a slow individual sport into a team competition makes for a far better television product. Toss in the intensity and pride of representing your country against the rest of the world and you have an event unmatched by any football game.
