Evaluate the article
My first reaction to reading this article was I thought the grammar was good but not great. Once I got past that I used my knowledge of the event itself to look through and see if what was written was actually correct. I found that the basic coverage of the event was correct to the players, captains and people involved. But I think the article could have been much stronger and represented what actually happened that week in a much deeper scope. The article went into the renovation the course had went through prior to the event which is not a very big deal to almost anyone reading about the cup itself. During this years battle for the cup the US blew the BIGGEST lead on the final day of a Ryder cup in 85 years. This was not talked about enough and they could've wrote pages of content on this and how each match swung in favor of the europeans during that fateful day. The article went deeply into the decision choices on how the players were picked for the cup, when in reality when one looks up Ryder cup 2012 they want to know about the historic event and not as much on how each player was picked. This article seems to be written by someone who cares deeply for the decision making towards deciding on the players, as well as the course layout/history. This event is held once every other year, there is a load of information to write on strictly about the event and what unfolded during the 3 day event not prior to the event. It's a great base but needs some more guidance towards what actually endured during the events days.
