Mike at the 37th Ryder Cup

Michael Jordan was on the grounds yesterday at Valhalla Golf Club watching the 37th Ryder Cup.



Jordan, who spent time in the morning walking with the Phil Mickelson-Anthony Kim pairing, called the Ryder Cup his "favorite sporting event."



"And that's not just because I can get inside the ropes (walking away from the galleries)," Jordan said. "I love the competition."



Jordan, in a white T-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap, said he has been to every Ryder Cup since 1997. He's good friends with Tiger Woods.



"I love this," Jordan said. "No money. It's all about pride, and every shot means something. There's someone happy and someone sad."



After discussing some basketball with the media walking down the 18th green, Jordan said he's been in town since Tuesday. He's renting a house in Lake Forest and said he has been playing golf there all week.
