Ryder Cup

Louisville welcomes the best golfers from the U.S. (sans Tiger) and Europe for the Ryder Cup at Valhalla. The New York Times asks "For the U.S., Will This Ryder Cup Be Different?" in a piece reporting on the American players' poor Ryder Cup showings in recent years and their plans for a different outcome this weekend.

Kenny Perry Wins Buick Open And A Spot On Ryder Cup Team

To change the sports subject, we are also pleased that Kentucky's own Kenny Perry won the Buick Open today. As the Associated Press reports, this victory assures Perry a spot on the American team when the Ryder Cup is played at Valhalla in September.

No Ryder Cup For Tiger

Drudge is reporting that Tiger Woods will take off the rest of the season to have surgery, for the third time, on his left knee. Woods had qualified to represent America in the Ryder Cup this September at Valhalla in Louisville. Instead, he'll be recovering from surgery. We will miss him at Valhalla and wish him a speedy recovery -- and good luck to those Kentuckians trying to take his spot on the Ryder Cup team.
