[QUOTE="JogginFrog, post: 3321454, member: 4994"] I like occasional team competitions. The partisan crowds create an atmosphere completely unlike regular competition, where fans can get escorted out for vocally cheering against a player. According to the players, the partisan crowd and the risk of causing-your-team-to-lose creates more pressure than these guys ever feel in major championships--although it's everyday reality in other team sports. And how they perform in team competitions has a real effect on their career reputation. So, it's not all fake drama. Yes, some of the media story arcs are manufactured and ridiculous, and the question of artificiality of the structure is especially glaring with the Solheim, where 16 of the current top-25 pros are not from the U.S. or Europe. But it also allows for legit moments of competitive drama, like Caroline Hedwall, the 121st-ranked player, making 5 birdies on her last 6 holes to flip a 3-down deficit to a 2-up win. Europe loses without a full point from that match. [/QUOTE]
