Mon 09 Sep 2006Unique fans and ambience create new beautiful game
Caddie's View: They used to call the big round-balled game "the beautiful game". Well, there was only one beautiful game this week in Ireland and that was golf. Europe enjoyed an emphatic victory and I suppose it is easy to get on the Ryder Cup euphoria wagon, but the fact is the Europeans played the most beautiful golf.
