The European Ryder Cup board said the showcase event, scheduled for Sept. 28-30 at The Belfry in England, will be played in September 2002 at the same location. The PGA of America in formed the European board that the scope of Tuesday’s strikes in New York and Washington was “so overwhelming” that it would be “impossible” for the U.S. Ry der Cup team to attend. “We have been placed in a position beyond our control and therefore the matches, out of ne cessity, have been postponed,” said European Ryder Cup Board spokesman Mitchell Platts. Tiger Woods had already pulled out of this week’s Lan- come Trophy in Paris. “I feel strongly that this is a time to pause, reflect and remember the victims of Tuesday’s horrific at tack,” he said on his website. European Ryder Cup cap tain Sam Torrance said the decision was one of “com mon sense.” “What happened in America last week has put the Ryder Cup and everything else into per spective,” he said. “I am desperately heartbroken for all the people in volved in this ter rible tragedy. U.S. captain Curtis Strange called the post ponement “very appropriate in light of the situation.” “The tragedy in America caused us all to reflect and evaluate our own lives and relation ships with family and friends,” he said. “Our hearts and prayers go out to all those af fected by last T uesday’s disaster.” The Ryder Cup, which be gan in 1927 and is played every other year, was interrupted for six years during World War II. It has become one of the biggest events in golf, and this year’s matches were especially anticipated. Two years ago, the United States pulled off the greatest comeback in history with a 45- foot putt by Justin Leonard and a celebration that offended the European team. Jim Awtrey, chief executive officer of PGA of America, said the organization appreciated the respect shown by the Ryder Cup board. “Given the enormity of the tragedy in America, we informed Eu ropean officials of our desire to postpone the matches until next year,” Awtrey said. “We understand this is a hard ship for them to reschedule die matches next year ... but it was im portant to us that the matches be played and not canceled,” he added. The invitation for the U.S team and officials had not beerf with drawn but extended, Platts said, and the process of rescheduling die matches for 2002 would begin as soon as possible. The matches will take place with the same captains — Tor rance and Strange — and the same 10 players and two wild cards on each squad. Woods had stressed his concern about making the trip to Paris. “I have always felt that I must he fully committed to each and every golf competition I enter, but due to this week’s events, I am not,” he said. “I also fear that the security risks of travel ing overseas at the present time are too great.” PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said his organi zation supports the Ryder Cup postponement. “It became apparent over the last several days that the challenges posed by interna- ; tional travel and time away from families for innumerable fans and sponsors of the Ryder Cup matches made it impossi- ' hie to hold to the original schedule,” he said. What happened in America last week has put the Ryder Cup and everything else into perspective. — SamTorrance European Ryder Cup team captain CART crash costs Zanardi both legs (AP) — Even those who have spent a life time in auto racing and seen mayhem on the track were aghast at the crash that cost Alex Zanardi both his legs and almost his life. Saturday’s American Memorial 500 — CART’s first foray into Europe — was sup posed to “help heal wounds” from Tues day’s terrorist attacks in the United States. Instead, it produced its own tragedy. A popular two-time CAR L champion, Zanardi was in stable but serious condition Sunday in a Berlin trauma clinic after doc tors amputated both legs above the knee. He also sustained a small fracture of the pelvis and concussion but, amazingly, no internal or head injuries. “He’s needed a lot of blood transfusions,” said Dr. Gerd Schroeter, part of a team of physicians treating the 34-year-old Italian. “But the amounts aren’t as great as yester day. Patients that suffer such a big trauma are subject to heart and lung failure.” Zanardi is expected to stay in an “induced coma” for several days and in the hospital several weeks. Zanardi was leading with 12 laps left when he entered the pits. Accelerating out of pit lane, his Honda Reynard got away from him. He spun backward onto the 2-mile oval and into the path of Alex Tagliani barreling by at 200 mph. Tagliani ripped through Zanardi’s near ly stationary car and sheared it in half. The explosion hurled the red nosecone bearing No. 66 into the air, spewing a trail of debris. The main part of the shredded chassis set tled near a retaining wall with Zanardi’s red helmet visible inches behind the gnarled nose of the car. “It’s as had as it gets,” said Honda spokesman Dan Layton, who saw the crash from 200 yards away. “As he started to ac celerate the car snapped backwards. We don’t know if it was mechanical or driver er ror. The car was going up the track back wards, and the point of impact appeared to be Alex’s knees.” “When you get weight moving at that speed, it doesn’t take a physics major to see how severe it will be.” Mo Nunn team spokesman Laz Denes saw the crash from the pits. His first thoughts were no doubt like many among the 87,600 fans at EuroSpeedway. “1 knew it could be fatal,” he said. “All of our knees buckled. We thought, ‘Oh, my • God,’ and we all just turned and groaned.” “It was an immense hit, almost harder than anything I’ve ever seen. The hit was ; about 12 inches past the cockpit. I wouldn’t say I’m shocked he survived, but through some miracle I’m very glad he did.” Zanardi had not won this season. But Fri day he was second-fastest in practice, and Saturday he couldn’t wait to race. “He was ready to rock and roll,” Denes said. “I’ve never seen him so ready to get out there.” CART chairman Joe Heitzler was al lowed by family members to see Zanardi. An openly religious man, Heitzler said he prayed at Zanardi’s bedside. He also prayed when he saw the crash. “What went through my mind immedi ately was, “Dear Lord, dear Lord, please let this man be OK.... When I saw him I could n’t believe how good he looked for what he’d been through. He was resting peacefully and his face had color.” Postponed Continued from Page 5 from Gainesville, where No. 2 Florida and No. 8 Tennessee were going to play. To expect athletes in Florida or anywhere else in America to go out and perform to the best of their abilities would have been an impossible expectation. How was Army supposed to host Buffalo at West Point while an estimated 5,000 peo ple were buried under 1.25 mil lion tons of rubble just 50 miles away? How was Air Force sup posed to play Utah? How could Navy’s team be expected to jump on an airplane and fly to Illinois and play Northwestern, knowing the country is on the brink of war? The answer: they cannot.
