In fact, the tournament was dominated by the home team from beginning to end. And the coveted Ryder Cup is proudly on display at Sunnyside Country Club after spending several years in Malta. The two teams of 24 men each hit the links Aug. 17, decked out in Scottie Red and Mustang Blue, each side gamely keeping up their longstanding rivalry. Glasgow came ready to...
