The stage is set for the 43rd Ryder Cup at Whistling Straights in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin between the United States and Europe. There is lots of enthusiasm amongst the U.S. and European teams.
Dustin Johnson is the veteran on the team, he is the oldest player at 37 representing the United States. These young players have experienced lots of success as professional golfers and there is lots of speculation that they have what it takes to reclaim the Ryder Cup Trophy this weekend.
