The 11.5 to 4.5 points rout of the first two days demonstrated how little the US understands the process, even now after a ninth defeat in 12 matches. They have no real concept of how to organise, there is no big idea around which to coalesce, no sense of how to connect with a purpose, and no clue how to compete with a European leadership that has data points on everything from hotel bed sheets to the fragrance of shampoo in the bathrooms.

“I felt like I was running on empty. I gave so much of myself the first two days and I tried as hard as I could out there against Scottie [Scheffler]. Scottie and I both didn’t have our best. It was a bit of a pillow fight if I’m honest. I dug in as much as I could, just tried to stay in my own little bubble as much as possible. It was obviously quite difficult to do that at times.”
The American team, which falls under the aegis of the PGA of America, has none of that with a body that derives its legitimacy from the 30,000 or so golf club professionals rather than the elites on the PGA Tour. Hence the own goal over payment earlier in the week, which turned a “good news” story about charity into a PR disaster. Or as Xander Schauffele put it, “we give half a million to charity and we look like dicks”.
The messaging around the issue was all wrong because the PGA of America lacks the kind of strategic thinking that considers the optics in tournament week. Whilst they were putting their foot in it over payments and fawning around Donald Trump, the European Tour were putting out slick videos about legacy and tradition narrated by Donald. “Our time. Our place.”

The feeling is there needs to be a greater role for club pros around the decision-making and delivery of the Ryder Cup, generating a sense of belonging and connectivity to the tour pros ostensibly representing them. All of this happens organically in Europe since there is no organisational separation between those who play on the team and those who administrate it. All for one and one for all as it were.
He might also want to take back a pairing that was ranked 132nd out of 132 possible combinations based on the data. Not only did he pair Collin Morikawa and Harris English in Friday’s foursomes, he repeated the sin on Saturday, losing heavily both times.
