Davis Love must put the ‘united’ back into US to reclaim Ryder Cup

Not too long ago, when golf fans all around the world would gather to watch the first major golf championship of the year, the US Masters – they watched it as much for its mystique as anything else.

You see, while everyone understood the tournament’s status, no one, apart from those in attendance, got full visibility of what it is to this day, a totally unique golf course presented in full bloom.

That was a time when US players were undisputedly the dominant force in the game. Brash and arrogant, they weren’t afraid to let people know how dominant they were, but much like the way that the mystique surrounding the US Masters today has now been lost (now that we have wall to wall coverage of the event), so too did the American mystique and dominance, once the likes of Ballesteros, Lyle, Faldo, Woosnam, and Langer proved they were capable of winning regularly on the PGA Tour.
