1 Ryder Cup dilemma is hiding in plain sight One Ryder Cup dilemma is hiding in plain sight as this year's event, at Bethpage Black, looks to be its biggest ever.

The Ryder Cup is so damn fun. There's no event like it. But it's also so damn BIG.

Some thoughts on how it might be... too big: golf.com/news/1-ryder...

Very much enjoyed this
