Union Jack in one hand, the twelve gold stars on blue of the EU in the other, Martin Vousden epitomizes the highest standards of journalistic objectivity as he glories in the decisive moments in our finest triumphs over the Yanks. Even he, however, can”¦t ignore the fact that the US dominated the Cup during the early years, fielding teams full of some of the greatest golfers ever to tee it up. But this book is not just about winning and losing the Cup”K The moments include some well known ”V the infamous American green ”„invasion”¦ at Brookline in 1999, Jack Nicklaus”¦s 1969 concession of a 2-foot putt to Britain”¦s Tony Jacklin, resulting in the first tied Cup ”V and some less so: Ken Still and Dave Hill v Brian Huggett and Bernard Gallacher in one of the most bad-tempered matches ever, and the time Seve hit the greatest shot ever played. The book also lists all of the players and results since the first competition in 1927 to ensure that it is as informative as it is entertaining.
