Twenty-five years later, it's apparent the "War by the Shore" in 1991 did much to change the feel of the Ryder Cup matches

In its early decades, the Ryder Cup was a gentlemanly match between the U.S. and golfers from Great Britain and Ireland. But as it evolved with the expansion to Europe, live start-to-finish television coverage, a more heated rivalry and more boisterous fans and a dash of nationalism, the Ryder Cup changed. Nowhere was that more apparent than at Kiawah Island in 1991 at the "War by the Shore."
