Summary of Shane Ryan's The Cup They Couldn't Lose - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In Australia, the capital city, Sydney, was experiencing such bad air quality that just breathing the city's air for a day was the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes. The Ryder Cup was set to be played in ten months in Wisconsin, but many American players saw the Presidents Cup as a tune-up for the big show. #2 In the fall of 1999, a few thousand miles to the northwest in a Chinese provincial capital called Wuhan, a handful of otherwise healthy people were coming down with pneumonia, and nobody knew why. #3 The Americans had no idea what Els had planned for them.
They had no idea that the International Team was taking the Presidents Cup very seriously, and thinking not just of victory in Australia, but of the future. #4 Reed was a Ryder Cup hero in 2016, but every time his Ryder Cup and Masters performances threatened to swing the narrative in his favor, he'd backslide. The stories never stopped: he'd carp to a rules official, saying, I guess my name needs to be Jordan Spieth, after an unfavorable ruling, or huff off after a bad round and snub the media.
