Mark Calcavecchia - Part 3 (The Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup)

The 1989 winner of the Open Championship at Royal Troon, Mark Calcavecchia continues his story by recounting the thrills and agony of representing your nation in team competition. He begins with the painful U.S. loss in the 1987 Ryder Cup at Muirfield Village under Captain Jack Nicklaus and continues with a tough draw at the Belfry two years later. Listen in as Mark takes us through his roller coaster match with Colin Montgomerie in the "War by the Shore" in 1991 and hear Captain Dave Stockton relate how Calc's fast start in his match inspired the U.S. side's play that final day. He briefly reflects on Presidents Cup and Dunhill Cup experiences before looking back on a golf career well-played. Mark Calcavecchia finishes up with his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
