The War by the Shore

Alex Jenkins talks to best-selling author Curt Sampson about his latest book – The War By The Shore – which takes us behind the scenes of the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island. Remembered as one of the most controversial yet absorbing events in the modern era, it was won by the United States after Bernhard Langer missed a six-foot putt on the final green that would have retained the Cup for Europe.
