They're Playing It Again, Sam!
A curtain-raiser to this week's golf match between the US and Great Britain-and-Europe which begins at the Belfry on Friday.
Peter Alliss , who himself played in eight Ryder Cup matches, presents the most exciting action from more than 60 years of this classic series, whose present fame would have amazed its founder, Sam Ryder.
Memories of past matches and predictions of who will win this time come from survivors (aged 87 and 91) from the first match of 1927, plus modern stars including Jack Nicklaus , Nick Faldo and the 1989 captains, Tony Jacklin and Ray Floyd.
