"There is always a drop of ennui in the air on the Sunday evening of a big golf tournament. The final putt falls and the circus starts to pack up around you; everyone says goodbye, the theatre of the preceding week now draped in deep, autumnal darkness. It was like that in Bethpage as we crushed in around the player interview area, or the 'PIA' as the Ryder Cup media officials were absolutely determined to call it for the week."
A subtle sense of ennui fills the Sunday evening air after a major golf tournament as the final putt falls and the event winds down. The spectacle breaks down, people exchange farewells, and the once-busy theatre of competition becomes draped in autumnal darkness. At Bethpage, the mood was the same while crowds pressed around the player interview area. Media officials referred to that space as the 'PIA' for the week, showing the organized but slightly weary routine of post-event coverage during the Ryder Cup.
