From its humble origins in 1927 to its place today as golf's most gentlemanly battle--and a multi-million-dollar international sports event--The Ryder Cup has cemented its place in both its legacy and lore. Golf journalist Tom Clavin and golf commentator Bob Bubka have now made current their seminal work on the tournament, exploring the history and the rivalries, the extraordinary triumphs and devastating defeats, and the U.S. and the European contingents who have made this contest so remarkable. The names are legendary for any fan of golf: Palmer, Nicklaus, Jacklin, Floyd, Mickelson, Ballesteros, Faldo, Hogan, Nelson, Watson, Strange, Sarazen, Crenshaw, Woods, Montgomerie...the list goes on, as do their pitched battles for dominance and accomplishments on the greens. This up-close and personal look at The Ryder Cup is a must-read for golf fans, especially in preparation for the landmark 40th Anniversary tournament in Gleneagles, Scotland, in 2014. 610 $aGolf 610 $aSports & Recreation 676 $a796.3/5266 700 $aClavin$b Tom$01435811 702 $aBubka$b Bob 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148688703321 996 $aRyder Cup$93593815 997 $aUNINA
