Farmer’s battlers bid to end 21 years of American domination

GOLF fans who can’t wait until next year’s Ryder Cup can enjoy a taste of things to come at The K Club’s Smurfit Course this weekend (September 23-25), when British and American pros battle it out for The PGA Cup.

The club professionals’ equivalent of the Ryder Cup is one of the most eagerly awaited events in the golfing calendar, but Great Britain and Ireland will be hoping for a slice of Irish luck as they bid to end 21 years of American domination of the competition.

GB&I captain Jim Farmer is backing his team to upset their Atlantic cousins but it will be a mammoth task with America including Ron Philo Jnr and current American PGA Club Professional Mike Small.
