Seve Pulls for USA

Seve Ballesteros - now retired - was and is a man who marches to the beat of his own drum.

Therefore, it's not surprising to read that Seve hopes the US wins this September's Ryder Cup at Valhalla in Kentucky.

His reasoning? He doesn't want Europe's recent stranglehold on the Cup to become routine and boring.

And I believe he has a point. Constant domination by one side in any competition can quickly become last week's news (unless of course, it's Canada's domination over the world in the game of hockey.!).

Seve's Spanish blood pulses with the spirit of adventure and he puts it aptly when he states "I don't want to see a competition looking like a church service. I want to see a bullfight between the bull and the matador".

Generally, the matador always wins and Seve doesn't indicate who dons the horns to play the role of the bull. But you get his drift. Posted by: Chris Henry    Source
