CHASKA, Minn. — First, Europe’s Danny Willett apologized for his brother’s excoriation of loudmouth American golf fans in advance of the Ryder Cup. Then U.S. stalwart Phil Mickelson apologized for using Hal Sutton’s 2004 captaincy as an example of bad decision making. Phil being Phil Mickelson probably had the most to be sorry for. Two years after missing the Ryder Cup to deal with personal issues, the 2016 U.S. Open champion is now one of the players the American team is counting on most heavily. The 1989 matches at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England were tied 14-14 but Europe retained the Cup.
