List of Ryder Cup matches

 * Nominator(s): NapHit (talk) 20:34, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

With the Ryder Cup to begin at the end of the month, what better way to celebrate than with a list detailing the matches that have made up this great event. Thanks in advance for your comments. NapHit (talk) 20:34, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment
 * I suggest that the score column should first be ordered by the winning margin rather than the points scored by the winning team.--DavidCane (talk) 21:58, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, column now sorts by winning margin. NapHit (talk) 15:37, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment The title is somewhat ambiguous and means that I am not sure what to expect from the list. "2012 Ryder Cup" is a Ryder cup match and this type of match appears in the list. However, within that you have (for example) "Furyk/Snedeker vs McIlroy/McDowell", which is also a match, and it is defined as such in the lead section when it talks about "foursomes match" or "fourball match". Is there any way that this can be made less ambiguous or are we stuck with the "match within a match" terminology? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 17:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You raise a good point, unfortunately I'm not sure how to resolve it. I can see how it can be ambiguous, but technically the competition as a whole is a match with a series of matches within it. If someone can up with a better solution then I'd be interested to hear it. For the time being I think we're stuck with the match within a match terminology.

 * Support with one caveat- in the lead you say that the next match is in 2012; this is no longer true as it was played 2 weeks ago. Seems the infobox was updated but the lead was not. -- Pres N  18:07, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Right you are, should of noticed that. Fixed. NapHit (talk) 20:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
