The “eight men out,” under orders of commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis, included “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, who many supporters believed was among the game’s greatest hitters....

(Reuters) - England’s Justin Rose left his gold medal from the Rio Olympics home, needing no further inspiration this week than the chance to win another Ryder Cup for Europe. “It’s not something that I’m touting around, not at all,” Rose told reporters on Wednesday at Hazeltine, where Europe is aiming for a fourth straight victory over the United States in the biennial match play competition. “This week, Danny (Willett) doesn’t have the green jacket in the team room, Rory (McIlroy) doesn’t have the FedExCup in the team room....
