Mike Lopresti, USA Today on the remarkable win by America in the Ryder Cup: 

There was the good ol' boy from the Florida panhandle, who started the tense day by becoming the first golfer in Ryder Cup history to put his driver between his legs and ride an imaginary horse down the No.1 fairway.

Boo Weekley was here to have fun and win, and did both.

By Sunday night, his message — the U.S. team needed more of the first before it could accomplish the second — was louder than the red blouses of the team wives. You listen to a man who goes out Sunday at the Ryder Cup and gets six birdies and an eagle. There was the young golfer who had gotten caught himself up in some awkward pre-Ryder Cup quotes, questioning some of the activities of the week. By Sunday night, Hunter Mahan — a European killer with a 2-0-3 record for the weekend — had become a full believer.

Someone wondered if he had ever experienced such a thing. "Unless you play in this," he said, "you won't."

And there were the Kentuckians — one old and one new — who came to Valhalla Golf Club eager to win for their country and desperate to win for their state.

J.B. Holmes is 26 and plays with the pace of oozing pancake syrup. But he went out for four matches and the Europeans are still waiting to beat him.

Kenny Perry is 48, and maybe he was the heart of the entire effort. He was here to give everything he had, even as his body began to break down.
