SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – After captaining the Europeans to a decisive victory at the Ryder Cup, it seems Thomas Bjorn’s next stop could be a Parisian tattoo parlor. The Dane has been largely stone-faced this week at Le Golf National, but even he cracked a grin when some of his players leaked during the celebratory news […]
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Pick an excuse, any excuse, for why the U.S. Ryder Cup team is now more than a quarter-century removed from its last road victory. But for all of the breathless buildup every four years, for all of the hand-wringing over the captains, for all of the promotional shoots, news conferences, scouting trips, […]
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – If this is the end of Phil Mickelson’s playing career at the Ryder Cup, it was not the swansong he envisioned. Mickelson struggled on Friday paired with Bryson DeChambeau in foursomes play, losing to Sergio Garcia and Alex Noren, 5 and 4, and was beaten 4 and 2 by Francesco Molinari in […]
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Sergio Garcia came to Le Golf National this week as the most scrutinized combatant on either side. He left as the most prolific winner in Ryder Cup history. Garcia’s addition by Thomas Bjorn received plenty of scorn given his lack of form over the last few months and the strength of other […]
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Jon Rahm is known for his fiery on-course demeanor. But after taking down his childhood idol to notch his first-ever Ryder Cup point, the Spaniard was reduced to tears. Rahm drew the unenviable task of taking on Tiger Woods in Sunday’s singles play, but he took the opening hole with a birdie […]

The United States lost their sixth consecutive Ryder Cup on foreign soil in Paris on Sunday. Captain’s pick and Ryder Cup veteran Phil Mickelson played in only two matches – on Day 1 in foursomes alongside Bryson DeChambeau and in Sunday singles, where he fell to Francesco Molinari to go 0-2 for the week. Even […]
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – The last question at what had been a glum press conference was directed at Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. The two Americans were asked if they were surprised not to have gotten paired together at the Ryder Cup considering their record as a team. Spieth, and U.S. captain Jim Furyk, explained that […]
The Tommy Fleetwood-Francesco Molinari romance didn’t end after their final Saturday pairing at the Ryder Cup. It extended into the Sunday news conference, where Molinari blew Fleetwood a kiss, and Fleetwood said he “felt so far away” from his 4-0 partner, seated on the opposite side of the team interview table. And, apparently, it extended […]
