Tiger Woods hit an approach shot to the par-5 18th at Valhalla Golf Course during the 2000 PGA Championship. The 2008 Ryder Cup will be held at Valhalla in Louisville in September, pitting the U.S. team against the Europeans.



    THE LAST WORD
    U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger on Europe's recent domination of the event:

      U.S. RYDER CUP CAPTAIN SAYS HE'LL SEEK INPUT FROM NICKLAUS AND PRESIDENTS CUP PLAYERS

      One cup runneth over. The other cup is empty. The Americans raised the Presidents Cup after a runaway victory at Royal Montreal, and they raised hopes again that they are capable of being a world power in team golf, maybe even good enough to win that other cup.
