CHASKA, Minnesota, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Just as Europe were inspired by the spirit of Seve Ballesteros when they won the 2012 Ryder Cup, Jimmy Walker is looking to Arnold Palmer's impact to help the U.S. cause this week at Hazeltine.
Golf great Palmer, a veteran of six Ryder Cups as a player, died at the age of 87 on Sunday due to heart complications and memories of his huge influence in helping grow the game worldwide have overshadowed the build-up to this year's edition.
No question, the United States could do with as much help as they can against holders Europe in their bid to end a run of eight losses in the last 10 Ryder Cups, including the last three in a row.
