Ryder Cup 2012: Dates, Times, Team Rosters, TV Schedule
The United States will take on Europe in the infamous Ryder Cup of golf, which takes place every two years. Colin Montgomerie and the Europeans were the ones to prevail in 2010's competition in Wales. However, the U.S. will look to dominate the talented squad on their home turf on Friday.
With Davis Love III as the captain for America, they will look to change the outcome for this year's cup. According to BBC, the 48-year-old will not be taking the strong European squad for granted.
"I didn't go to bed until 0230 thinking about my team. If I had to think about their team I wouldn't get any sleep, because they're as strong as we are, and it's hard to figure out what they're going to do."
Strategically, Love III is still pondering just how he will stack his team up, in terms of pairings.
"I have a feeling for some pairings, but no, I haven't really put the pencil to that yet."
The 2012 Ryder Cup will be taking place at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois. View the full schedule and roster below.
