Ryder Cup 2012 Schedule of Events & Roster; Starts Sept 28
The United States and Europe will once again go head-to-head at the 2012 Ryder Cup, which takes place every two years periodically. Although the Europeans were the ones to prevail in their last matchup in Wales, America will look to finish with a different outcome this time around on their home turf in Illinois on Friday.
While he has not yet been officially paired in the event, United States veteran Phil Mickelson spoke to reporters of the Telegraph on Wednesday about how the excitement surrounding the contest can vastly impact a player's performance.
"A lot of the guys that have been on the team, myself, Furyk, Stricker, Tiger, we've only won two Ryder Cups. We need that excitement, that energy that the rookies provide as much as they need a little bit of guidance as to what to expect for all of us to play our best golf."
The 2012 Ryder Cup will be taking place at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois. View the full schedule and roster below.
