Captain Paul Azinger celebrates with the home fans at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky in 2008. Azinger has passed the mantle on to Corey Pavin and he will have much work ahead if the U.S. is to retain the trophy. One bookmaker is so confident of European success that it has already paid out to those who backed the home side. But the U.S. has four of the world’s five top golfers in Tiger Woods, Phil Mickleson, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk. Expect it to come down to a couple of putts during the singles on Sunday.
