Will It Happen a Third Time?

Tonight I'm no longer going to write down tons, as there isn't lots to say at this point. Team Europe -- specifically the superteam of Fleetwood and Molinari -- have clearly performed higher than Team USA, who will want any other miracle if they wish to retain the Cup.

Perhaps this Ryder Cup will remind Team USA that, while getting your organizational operations streamlined is important, it's not what wins Ryder Cups. The European Tour owns "their side" of the Ryder Cup and has essentially put control in the players' hands ever since Tony Jacklin first captained the team. The PGA Tour doesn't own their side -- rather, the PGA of America does. The now-notorious "Committee" finally put the players in control in their hands.

In a totally real experience, the PGA Tour is ready 1 / 4 century in the back of the Euro Tour. It's critical to keep in mind that the Euros failed to end up a juggernaut overnight. Any ideals the USA gamers may also have entertained that they might do so weren't rooted in the actual world.

The US gamers have only one actual hope to cling onto as they enter the very last day. That hope is their tradtional strength in singles. I assume there may be a motive for that, and it's the identical reason they seem to warfare inside the group sessions. Team play is a found out talent, one which the Euro players generally tend to learn as children because they play more teams growing up. I suppose america players will examine those capabilities subsequently, in particular with the younger players coming in.

But today, if the USA makes a successful comeback, it will be due to the fact they're greater skilled at character play than group play. We'll see if they are able to muster the ones abilties nowadays.
