"At a time when excitement is mounting over who will take Ryder Cup glory this year at the Medinah Country Club, every amateur golfer wishes they could experience the thrill and emotion of the Ryder Cup for themselves.  VPAR is delighted to offer this incredible format at all of our worldwide amateur tournaments this week - ensuring that every player can experience the feel of the Ryder Cup, just like the pro's," Jason Stoop, Managing Director VPAR Live Golf Scoring.

The Ryder Cup Matchplay format is renowned for delivering the best competition from the world's top golfers.  The format means each hole is decided in isolation, rather than strokeplay, which is the cumulative scoring method used in most golf tournaments, including all four Majors.

Jeremy Gray, Sales Director at VPAR commented "The amateur game is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and any golfer who watched the Ryder Cup in 2010 would love to be in the position of Graham McDowell and stand over a match winning putt like his. By adding this intricate new format VPAR Live Golf Scoring can meet the needs of amateur players who aspire to experience similar unforgettable Ryder Cup style moments for themselves."
