Ryder 2006

In an event that was monopolized in the early years by the Americans, Europe's Ryder Cup win was the three-in-a-row triumph that many said couldn't be done. But spurred on by motivational captain Ian Woosnam and inspired by the courage of team member Darren Clarke, the European team romped to victory. It was an emotionally-charged contest that Europe dominated from the outset, and the final score did not even adequately reflect the huge gulf between the high-quality play of the victors and the rather lackluster performance of the Americans. "Easy Ryder" is a celebratory account that captures every glorious moment of one of the biggest events in the golfing calendar. Accompanied by many stunning photographs, it is an essential read for all golf fans.
