I just don’t know what the Euros will do now. They need to move on from several old guys, but who can fill that void? The US had to do the same, but there was always legit options waiting in the wings.

I think it has to be transitional now. The old guard have clearly served the team well, but just haven't performed. As much as I hate to say it, I think we have a few more RCs of Europe getting their asses handed to them whilst the new players are brought on. That US team is phenomenal, and young enough that there will be a number of cups left where they could dominate.I just don’t know what the Euros will do now.

At least you all have a Hovy though. He’s going to be a RC star for a couple decades.The weakness Europe has to worry about is the number of bright young things that have not 'trained on', Dubuisson, Rafa, Sullivan, Wood , Gallagher , Pieters have not warranted a second look, while McDowell, Molinari and Colsartes have disappeared.
The cupboard is not bare, but it is not well stocked.
This is how USA felt after the 2004 Ryder Cup.
A Hovy/Rahm pairing would be incredible in the future.I must say the event was great to watch, the course just insane. I need to play there some day. But these beatings, the last 4 or so, just so anti climactic. Good to see the US play well and feel good. So many shots of players smiling, many of which I’ve NEVER seen smile!
kudos to the euros for playing under very different circumstances than in prior years and for doing their best despite knowing the outcome since Friday evening. They always said the right things and acted like the sort of houseguests you enjoy and wish would stay.
Hovland, Rahm and few others were genuine bright spots who will make the next several better events to watch.
the US team, we’ll at least for now they seem loaded with both youth and excitement. ON TO ITALY!
I blame not seeing more than 30 seconds of coverage of him all weekReally? That dude (Lowry) was pure passion! Don’t hate on the big fella!
The UK coverage had to keep apologising for his language, was pricelessReally? That dude (Lowry) was pure passion! Don’t hate on the big fella!
That’s just funnyThe UK coverage had to keep apologising for his language, was priceless
Wait, he's vulgar?The UK coverage had to keep apologising for his language, was priceless
I thoroughly enjoyed this thread. I watched most every shot yesterday while getting a family dinner ready so I couldn’t participate in the thread like I wanted.Things I learned this weekend:
4- The thread on THP covering the Ryder Cup is like having my boys over every day to watch and beverage. We keep it fun, respectful, and high paced all week, and for me at least, it was a thrill to be a part of. If they wanted to run it back next weekend, I'd go through the commercial gauntlet again in a heartbeat.

With a crew that officially hit “old as balls” this week, that crew is done, so who is next?The Europeans have still won like 9 of the last 13. I'm sure they will be plenty fine. Until the Americans win like 9 of 12 I am skeptical about them in this event.

A more emotional Rory than the NBC interview.

Same. Europe NEEDS him and his passion.that smile is so genuine and contagious, too. i loved his saturday afternoon match when he made that putt on 18 to secure the point. he went bonkers with passion, then walked over to the americans almost apologizing for the outburst. dude totally gets it and i hope he keeps playing well enough to be on future teams.
