The Ryder Cup blame game continued all week, as well as attempts to quench the fire. Look for changes to the process next time around, whether or not the blame ultimately falls with the captain or the players.<\/p>\nThe Ryder Cup blame game continued all week, as well as attempts to quench the fire.

\nHole #1: Oh Captain, Our Captain<\/strong>
\nIt’s something of a case of he said-he said, but the fallout from the U.S. Team’s drubbing at the 2014 Ryder Cup is far from over. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n
\nOliver Wilson won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship over the weekend. He was helped when Rory McIlroy putted into the Road Hole Bunker on the Old Course and made bogey on the second to the last hole of the championship. He finished a stroke back of Wilson. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n
\nMirim Lee got the second LPGA win of her rookie campaign at the Reignwood Classic in Beijing, China. Lee shot 5-under to overtake third-round leaders Stacy Lewis and Caroline Hedwall. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n
\nPaulina Gretzky and fiancee Dustin Johnson are expecting the birth of their first child. Johnson remains on a “leave of absence” from golf to deal with “stuff.” But just think of the athletic genes this kid is going to have. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n
\nThe Europeans really know how to party after winning the Ryder Cup. Photos of the celebrations and more showed up in tweets from golfers on both sides of the pond. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n
\nSteve Williams announced his retirement but would consider part-time work next season including from his old boss. Discuss. <\/p>\n\n
