CHASKA, Minn. – The last time the U.S. won a Ryder Cup, Jordan Spieth couldn’t legally drive. The last time Tiger Woods won a major, Patrick Reed was a freshman at the University of Georgia.
Both occurred in 2008 and Woods wasn’t on that victorious team at Valhalla because of injury.
It’s an interesting benchmark as the U.S. team is perched on what they hope is a new Ryder Cup era. And nothing paints that picture more vividly than Woods tooling around Hazeltine National in a personalized golf cart.
