Valhalla leaves us yearning for more

IT is a tribute to the heart and soul of any production that it can shine and entertain to the fullest, despite the efforts of many to drag it down.

We are referring, of course, to the Ryder Cup, which didn’t even require the playing of yesterday’s 12 singles matches to reinforce the notion that it’s the greatest package of emotion, passion, and skill that golf delivers. That point was pounded through Saturday afternoon at Valhalla Golf Club, thanks to a four-ball session that required five hours, but left you wishing that it had lasted for five days.

Yes, it was that scintillating. At every turn of the head, drama unfolded.
