Without great soldiers, we can receive such instruction, for instance, from Justin Leonard, whose sixty-foot putt on the seventeenth hole after two-and-a-half days of poor play sealed the American victory. We can look also to his 11 teammates and their captain Ben Crenshaw, who with Leonard staged the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history. They could have lost their will and surrendered, but instead they persevered to vindicate the honor of America. They may not be great soldiers, but they are great Americans who provided great examples of virtue for their countrymen. And for that...

The ever helpful Monty explained, "We all come from more of a teamlike society than the Americans. They are brought up to be individuals, which isn't wrong of course. It's just the way they are." Duval can only counter with, "I don't see it as the be-all, end-all," and Woods has said of his Ryder experience, "I played in only one and didn't enjoy...
