Europe wins Ryder Cup for third time in a row- European Union players show what Europe is all about when united in purpose
Europe clinched the 35th Ryder Cup by an historic 18½-9½ margin victory after fending off a formidable American charge in the singles at the Kildare Golf and Country Club, Ireland on Sunday. The final score alighting one of the loudest, most demonstrative European golf crowds anyone ever saw. "Very emotional," European captain Ian Woosnam told reporters after his team matched the record winning margin achieved over the U.S. at Oakland Hills two years ago to make it three wins in a row for the first time. U.S. captain Tom Lehman added: "I need to tip my hat completely to the European team. They played incredibly well, they were inspired.
EU-Digest editorial comment: The emotional fraternity displayed between the European Ryder cup team players and the enthusiastic support given to them by a roaring EU flag waving crowd should be a clear indication to Europe's leadership that events like this can do more to solidify our unity and common purpose than any stuffy speech about European unity given by a politician.
