By armchairgolfer@gmail.com (The Armchair Golfer) Maybe that’s why Chandler was trying to persuade McIlroy to stay put in Europe and his Oct 21 email to the SportsBusiness Journal telling them that “Rory has decided not to join the PGA Tour in 2010” appears to have backfired on him spectacularly.

Photo ID tickets have been introduced for the first time for the match on October 1-3 and Richard Hills, The European Ryder Cup director, said: "We need to make it clear to anyone intending to be at the event that they are strongly advised to purchase tickets through the official channel.

By golfforbeginners@aol.com Golf Analyst Johnny Miller maintains that Tiger Woods was not missed at either the Tour Championship or the Ryder Cup.

By golfforbeginners@aol.com Kim’s victory against Garcia on Sunday proved that it was Mickelson who was the taildragger for Team USA. I understand that Phil is interested in obtaining his European Tour card. I say, let’s trade Lefty to Team Europe in 2010 for Justin Rose!
