PARAMUS, N.J. – It’s time for the biennial bout of selection subterfuge. It’s not that players want to misdirect, it’s just they have no other choice when it comes to the curiously complicated and convoluted world of Ryder Cup captain’s picks.

PARAMUS, N.J. – Jordan Spieth missed the green right of the par-3 sixth hole, chipped to 7 feet and calmly rolled in the par putt. What was routine by any measure was actually a eureka moment. “I wrote it down so that I wouldn’t forget. I’ll take a picture and put it in the notes,” […]
PARAMUS, N.J. – It’s hard to erase the pictures of Bryson DeChambeau’s recent struggles from your memory. First there was the video of him on the practice range at The Open at Carnoustie just over a month ago having a meltdown following a first-round 75; One-armed swings, hands over his face, hands up in the […]
PARAMUS, N.J. – When Bryson DeChambeau slipped out of the top 8 automatic qualifiers for the U.S. Ryder Cup team last month he now admits the pressure started to build.
