It's funny to see so many people say things like "Team USA just didn't make putts" and ignore the psychology of the Ryder Cup. Golf is the most mental game in the world. It's so quintessentially American to downplay emotions and the love needed to compete in this match play event.
Team Europe doesn't play for "Europe". They play for each other. They play for Seve and Tony Jacklin. They revere the history and the guys who paved the way before them. Shane Lowry said the Ryder Cup means more to him than his 2019 Open Championship win.
Not trying to pick on Bryson, but he was asked why he was so emotional after losing. His answer was "I love my country." That's great and all, but this tournament isn't about patriotism anymore, or at least shouldn't be the #1 factor. The game has gone global, the Europeans play in the US all year, the massive talent advantage America used to have is gone and not coming back.
You have to find an edge. The Europeans have had a consistent plan for decades. Their attention to detail blows away Team USA, who just throws shit at the wall every 2 years. This is fixable, just need someone in charge who gets it.
