• Anthony Kim Vaults Four Shots Clear in the 2008 Tour Championship

  Anthony Kim wore a red shirt, fired at flags and made birdies on almost half of his holes. So much for that Ryder Cup hangover. The way Kim played Thursday in the opening round of the Tour Championship, it was almost as if the Ryder Cup never ended. Four...

• Lee Westwood Clarifies His Crowd Comments

  Lee Westwood said on Tuesday his criticism of unruly U.S. fans during last week’s Ryder Cup had not meant to sound like an excuse for Europe’s defeat. After the United States’ 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 victory in Kentucky, Westwood said some spectators had dealt...

• Ryder Cup Showcases Fresh American Talent

  The Ryder Cup used to be far more meaningful on the other side of the Atlantic.

• Anthony Kim Concedes Nothing

  From the moment Anthony Kim stepped on the first green and saw two golf balls within 2 feet of the cup, he made it clear he wasn’t going to give Sergio Garcia anything Sunday in the Ryder Cup. “Good, good?” Garcia ask, suggesting they concede the birdies...

• American Mixture Finds Passion

  Finally, the Americans figured it out.

• Ian Poulter Out to Prove Critics Wrong

  Forget the outrageous wardrobe, the gelled-up hair, the hilarious impersonations. At this Ryder Cup, Ian Poulter will be judged solely on what he does with his clubs. Hit a bunch of errant shots?
