Ryder Cup postponed for one year
(AP) —,The Ryder Cup was
postponed for one year on Sun
day because of terrorist attacks
that left the American team wary
of traveling and uneasy about
playing.
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.

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.”
