For the first time since 1999, the opening matches of a Ryder Cup will feature the alternate-shot format. United States captain Paul Azinger, hoping to give his team an early edge at Valhalla, announced the change Jan. 30 at the PGA TOUR's FBR Open in Phoenix. A fast start is much-needed for a U.S. squad that has lost the last three, and five of the last six, Ryder Cups.
