The United States won 16 1/2-11 1/2, its largest margin of victory since 1981. Kenny Perry, the 48-year-old Kentucky local who felt this week would make or break his career, was part of an early push that swung momentum toward the Americans.http://www.newser.com/story/38029/us-wins-ryder-cup-to-end-europes-streak.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 21 Sep 2008 17:27:31 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/37988/us-holds-9-7-lead-in-ryder.html?refid=rss_all_defaultBirdie putts kept falling, one on top of the other, until the Americans finally secured a Saturday lead in the Ryder Cup for the first time since 1995 to set up a final day that finally matters.

US captain Paul Azinger acknowledged some nerves today for the first time all week. "It's like drawing back a bow string," he said, motioning like an archer. "You pull it back for two years, and now you've got to let it fly. All you can do is hope you've got it pointed in the right direction."http://www.newser.com/story/37823/ryder-cup-ready-to-tee-off.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 18 Sep 2008 19:57:09 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/36736/rattling-dogs-diet-included-golf-balls.html?refid=rss_all_defaultOscar the Scottish black Lab is on the mend after undergoing surgery to remove the snacks that were disturbing his digestion: 13 golf balls.
