U.S. Takes Back The Cup

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 21 --A few days before the 37th Ryder Cup matches began Friday, Boo Weekley described U.S. captain Paul Azinger's mostly inexperienced team that included six Cup rookies as "like getting a new pack of hounds when we were growing up and going deer hunting. You don't know what kind of dogs you've got until you run them, so let's run them and we'll see."

In the past three days of nerve-racking competition, Azinger saw his team transform from truly legitimate underdogs, winless in their past three competitions against Europe, into top dogs once again at Valhalla Golf Club. The Americans prevailed, 16 1/2 -11 1/2 , their largest margin of victory since a nine-point rout in 1981.
