The Distance Advantage Myth
/I've noticed a few stories mentioning the United States Ryder Cup team having a major distance advantage off the tee at Valhalla, but based on the tour averages published for each team in this week's SI Golf Plus, it's actually pretty close:
- United States: 291.01 yards
- Europe: 289.85 yards
And remember the U.S has J.B. Holmes helping to skew the numbers a bit with his 310.4 average.
