Wow. Just wow. I’m happy for today’s effort. I’m happy the Americans came to play on Sunday and almost got the victory. Almost is not good enough. Keegan, good Sunday but your captaincy is done. Americans have every right to be disappointed, but you won’t go down as the worst captain of all time (I was calling for ZJ back yesterday but now I take it back. Good on you.)
Let’s look forward to 2027 now.
Captain picks:
I’d be comfortable with three choices for 2027.
- Phil Mickelson: I don’t care about the Ryder cup, I don’t care he’d probably take one too many LIV guys (welcome Patrick Reed to the team if he’s captain, which arguably would have been better than Harris.) I think he’d bring buzz, would love the hate the Ryder cup would bring in Europe, and altogether he’d be strong in the role.
- Jordan Spieth: hear me out….. he’s probably not qualifying for 2027. He’s young, and would make the right picks. Let’s get risky.
- Tiger Woods: This is the obvious answer. No more text makes this stronger or weaker.
Other takeaways:
- JT is a captain as soon as he falls out of the top 50 world golf rankings.
- We didn’t have the guys to win this cup. Europe is stacked, we need to develop 4 golfers to win in Europe. That’s all we need, 4.
- Bethpage Black: you can take the sign down now. I get it, if I went out there I’d shoot a million, but no ball rolled out once all week, it didn’t even feel like American golf.
