LOL, winning a hole with a bogey. 

BTW, I don't think anyone thought Bubba would get beaten worse than Phil today. 

LOL, Ricky pushing all his shots into the water now.

Time to cue the plus-sized songstress.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

If the Ryder Cup counted as a major, I would change my POY vote to Molinari. He took Tiger and Phil to the woodshed this week.

The handicap of having to take a player to France who can't seem to play good golf outside of the US (preferably the South).

And the foolishness of picking a fading superstar a couple of years away from the Champions' Tour.

That’s it then. Think Bjorn was pretty smart for putting Molinari and Stenson down there.

Mickelson what a stinker! Furyk will cop a load of stick for him playing like an orange.

This was a perfect storm against the US squad- bad play, bad captain-ing, and a course that we were really poorly suited for. 

Let’s just hope Phil and Bubba don’t somehow manage to eek on the 2020 team.

Well played team Europe, and well done Bjorn who obviously knows his stuff better than most of us give him credit for.

Great tournament 👍

I wouldn't put much of this on Furyk. Even the in form players couldn't deliver. What's he going to do about that? This isn't football that requires constant play calling. There are no major lessons IMO, just disappointments. 

Euros showed up. Hats off to them. See you in 2020.

This isn’t about the captains. They can’t play for players.

Congrats Europe. It was a butt whipping this time around. Looking forward to Whistling Straits in 2020.

It’s not only about the captains but Furyk deserves his fair share of criticism here. Inevitably it’s the players that lost it but Furyk made some indefensible decisions along the way and for that he should be criticized.

Agree. The only decision I think he may catch some heat for is the Phil pick. Other than that, hindsight is 20/20 with his matchups and pairings. But most of the players didn’t have it this week and I don’t think changing things up or playing Webb more like Johnny said he should have done would have changed the final outcome. Europe was just better. They kicked our butt. 17.5 to 10.5 is a butt whooping that's on the whole team, not just a player or two. Plain and simple.
