Had the opportunity to photograph the Ryder Cup and all its pomp and circumstance this year at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. The top ranked US and European golfers went head-to-head to compete for national glory in a unique, team-based tournament.  The United States won 17-11 to take home the cup after an eight year drought. A little more than 50 miles of walking later, here are a few of my favorite photos the the week. All images the ©Star Tribune.
