The US Ryder Cup has remained a tournament much awaited every time it ends. In the end of October 2011, the score list saw many internationally renowned players achieve commendable positions on the Ryder Cup list. However, one can also find that some players, who have not yet earned a big name in international golf, have managed to make it to the top eight. While Keegan Bradley’s stupendous run got him nearly 1500 points at by the end of October, other players have barely crossed 900. This gap can be difficult to close for most of the competitors, but with surprises abundant, one expects the competition to turn increasingly exciting.

The top eight players include Bo Van Pelt, who has just managed to scrape through with 390 points. He beat players of the caliber of Tiger Woods, Davis Love III (captain) and Gary Woodland. While the other top eight players like Phil Mickelson, Jason Dufner and Steve Stricker have played admirably, they will not be the only ones making it to the future rounds. As the rules of Ryder Cup goes, the captain will have the discretion of picking four other players from the bottom 7 on the list of 15. Gary Woodland, although hanging in there with the least score of 326.775, is expected to be a useful pick for the competition against Europe, scheduled to be held Illinois in September 2012. It will be a major event for US golf fans, who will attend to cheer their 12-man US team against the European champs from Britain, Sweden and Spain.

Tiger Woods is expected to stay out of the tournament, but most journals comment that it is too early to predict. Davis Love, although at number 12, may pick Woods depending on his schedule in the coming year. Robert Garrigus might feature in the captain’s four, especially as the remaining list could be underestimated for experience. David Toms is already in the top 8 and is expected to hold his number 7 rank within the team. Dufner, Mickelson and Johnson will be the most promising contenders for the American fans when the Ryder team faces their European opponents next year.

New hopes sprung alive for St. Louis NHL hockey team, especially as they ushered in a new coach. Although they changed coaches only after being under a new coach for 13 weeks, the team seems to be poised for a fresh start towards victories. It can be interesting to note that the new coach, Hitchcock, mentioned how the team needed to play in a slightly different way than they had been doing under Davis Payne. Some fans seem to have welcomed this change, but most opinions are yet to accommodate the quick change, or find it reasonable. Experts however, believe that Hitchcock will prove to be a major potential builder for a side that has the ability to play more consistently.

The major improvements Hitchcock’s coaching can bring, include technicalities, and the use of the most optimal strategies in given situations. In a recent press meet, Hitchcock said that he firstly wants the team to be recognized for impenetrable techniques. He would love to hear fans say “that team plays the right way.”

Hitchcock has coached various teams for more than 1,000 matches. Moreover, the General manager of St. Louis, Douglas Armstrong has been vocal about his confidence in the new coach. He can play an important role in improving the team’s performance at multiple levels. Hitchcock believes that it will take much lesser time to get the team into aggressive mode than it will to make them improve their techniques and stick to them at all times. Achieving consistency for the team on turf can be more difficult than making them play with hard strikes and fast movements.

St. Louis NHL fans are eager about the role the experienced coach will play in improving the side. Moreover, they will be looking forward to the various aspects of improvement so that they can beat their hardest rivals on a consistent basis. That will inevitably place them ahead of most teams in the ratings every season. Since the team has a considerable distance to go before becoming the best team in the league, Hitchcock said that he loves the challenge and the prospects that lie before them.
