The RDER Cup countdown. A tale of two sides. As the golf world gears up for the highly anticipated RDER Cup at Beth Page Black, a crucial question lingers. How did the players on both teams fare in their final tournaments before the big event? Let’s dive into the action and uncover some intriguing insights. Two years ago, Jordan Spief, an American golf legend, shared his thoughts on the US team strategy for the RDER Cup. With a significant number of American players taking an extended break before the matches, Spith believed a different approach might be beneficial. He suggested a shorter break, allowing the players to maintain their sharpness and competitive edge. US team’s final tuneup. Fast forward to the present and we witness an exciting Procore Championship where most of this year’s US RDER Cup team put their skills to the test. Scotty Sheffller emerged as the champion, showcasing his prowess with a one-shot victory over his teammate Ben Griffin. The Americans dominated the leaderboard with four players finishing in the top positions. But here’s where it gets controversial. Two key members of the US team, Bryson Dashambo and Xander Schoffley, opted out of the Procore Championship. Will this decision impact their performance at the Ryder Cup? Only time will tell, Europe’s last stand. Across the Atlantic, European captain Luke Donald had a full house at the BMW PGA Championship in Surrey, England. 11 of his 12 players teed off including the controversial LIIV player John Ram who tied for 13th. Matt Fitzpatrick, Tierrell Hatton and Victor Hovland led the European charge with impressive T5 finishes and this is the part most people miss. While the Europeans had a strong showing, they lacked the depth of the American team. Only four European players finished in the top 20 compared to the Americans impressive top 10 finish. The final stretch, the RDER Cup, is just around the corner, set to take place from September 26th to 28th at Beth Page Black in Farmingdale, New York.
