Germany set course for Ryder Cup bid

Berlin - A successful German bid to host the 2022 Ryder Cup would see the event staged at the Nick Faldo-designed A-Rosa course at Bad Saarow, near Berlin, the organising committee announced on Wednesday.

"We have worked hard over the last seven months to put together a promising bid. We are delighted to reach agreement with the A-Rosa Resort," said Marco Kaussler, head of the German bid.

The resort on the banks of the Scharmuetzelsee in Brandenburg, just to the south-east of Berlin, boasts three 18-hole courses including one designed by English six-time Major winner Faldo.
