After the 18-time Olympic gold medallist made a brief appearance on the stage, Love turned his back on conventional wisdom by adopting a sink-or-swim approach to the opening morning's competition on Friday. In an event where seasoned professionals have struggled to cope with the suffocating pressure, Love gambled by picking three of his four Ryder Cup rookies to tee off in the morning foursomes. ...
