The Ryder Cup was safely back in American hands and the way this U.S. team performed, it looks like it may stay for a long time. It may not have happened if not for a hometown captain who showed a supremely talented group of players how to win the way the Europeans always won — as a team. Just how much did players want to win it for their captain? The Europeans were usually better as a team because previous U.S. coaches and players never seemed able to figure out what it meant to be a team. It was as good as over, though the short message Stricker delivered to the team was that it wasn’t quite over yet.
