Rating players, captains, fans and venues in Ryder Cup

The Ryder Cup is a team that wins and loses. But the team is made up of individuals. How did these people perform this week? To fit in Golf.com’s tradition, it’s time to issue transcripts for all 24 Bethpage Black’s competitors. And, because the captain, fans and the venue also play a role in the game, we also allocate their results.
Team USA
Sam Burns, 1t (0-1-2) Level: d
Burns had two games in the first two days, both of which were hit with the worst player in both games. Half of his four-ball score depends heavily on his four-ball partner, Patrick Cantlay. To open it up, defeating the anchor game in Sunday’s singles, Burns’s 18th hole in the three-spur bogey, handing Robert MacIntyre to a draw, boosting the European team’s overall score to 15. This little bit of improvement is particularly important because it has no room for especially important because whether Europe will win the Cup and whether Europe will win the Cup without the automatic hemisphere beating Viktor Hovland’s automation, and it is an injury situation.
Patrick Cantlay, 1.5 points (1-3-1) rating: b-
On the plus side, Cantlay is Patty Ice, who won the lonely American Point on Friday morning (with Xander Schauffele) and stayed calm for the first two afternoons while working with underperforming burns. But in Saturday’s four-ball game, he turned a wedge into a bunker at the age of 18, almost guaranteeing a victory for Tyrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick. Then on Sunday, he was the only American player to lose his game as Team America temptedly approached his historic comeback.
Bryson DeChambeau, 1.5 points (1-3-1) level: B
The Ryder Cup results can be deceptive. A good example is DeChambeau, who met Buzzsaws in a few games, and he performed well, most notably on Saturday afternoon when he and Scottie Scheffler were cut by Justin Rose and Tom Fleetwood. His dedication to his career died despite pulling some hardcores and pulling some putts, an emotional team leader who made a comeback at Sunday’s 5, even though he drew a lot of hearts with Fitzpatrick.
Harris English 0.5 points (0-2-1) Level: D-
English only participated in two games, both of which lost. Not particularly close. Is his marriage paired with Collin Morikawa in marriage in a marriage that was doomed to fail from the beginning, and will he fail? perhaps. But by any metric, the English performance was so weak that his captain kicked him out on Sunday, knowing he could face the injured Hofland. This is another way to consider it. The only half of English is when he doesn’t compete.
Ben Griffin, 1 point (1-1-0) level: b
How do you rate someone who doesn’t have the chance to take the full exam? Sitting down all day on Saturday, Griffin played only once (losed) into singles, and given how far he is in the roster, it doesn’t seem like his game on Sunday. Then, Team USA called for a comeback. Pressure installed. Griffin kept his nerves on Rasmus Højgaard. Not the Alpha of Europe, but you can only beat them against your people, and Griffin did. Let you wonder what might happen if more tests were assigned this week.
Russell Henley, 0.5 points (0-2-1) rating: D
Henley and partner Scottie Scheffler have no responsibility for two four-man defeats. But he did not insist on bargaining. On Sunday, he took eight players and took one lead in the last leader. This is when it happens. Henry’s lasting memory of Henry in a singles match will be his brief putt, on the chin, in the 18th hole – a putt that will throw his opponent away. Instead, Henley left Ajar’s door and went to Shane Lowry, who farmed with birds and got a little bit of it to make sure the Europeans would keep the Cup.
Collin Morikawa, 0.5 points (0-2-1) level: D
The two-shelf of the four-player team, and in Sunday’s singles game, Team USA needs to win completely when things get hot. No matter how you cut it, Morikava is the clumsy person in the Captain’s Draft.
Xander Schauffele, 3 points (3-1-0) level: b
If DeChambeau’s record is worse than his actual performance, then Schauffele’s record is the opposite. As Schuffer’s plays have not met his lofty standards for most of his injured seasons, and in his two wins he relied heavily on his own companions (Cantlay and JJ Spaun). Still, he finished the game on the right side of three games, including Sunday’s defeat of Jon Rahm. That was a three-pointer, tied with Cameron Young, the most Americans.
Scottie Scheffler, 1 point (1-4-0) level: d-
Despite his big win in the Ryder Cup against Rory McIlroy with a singles, Scheffler was far away for most of the week, but seemed eternally confused about Bethpage’s vegetables. The Americans need 14.5 points to recoup the Cup. Schaffler alone could not bring them to victory. But they need the best players to contribute more.
JJ Spaun, 2 points (2-1-0) level: one-
The PGA Tour’s breakthrough star calm, cool and collectible is the second best player in the United States after Cameron Young.
Justin Thomas, 2 points (2-2-0) rating: b
Thomas is loyal to the brand and performs well in fan interactions. But in the first two days, the team needed draft picks from Ryder Cup veterans and captains. Specifically, more of what he showed on Sunday, when he overcame a clumsy driver who gave Tommy Fleetwood his first loss of the week, a game, a clutch putt for the 18-year-old, which also fits Thomas’ reputation.
Cameron Young, 3 points (3-1-0) grade: one
A local New Yorker gritted his teeth on Bethpage Black and dreamed of being part of the occasion as a kid, Young could collapse under the weight of expectation. Instead, he threw in a team performance of the MVP and interrupted the game on the 18th epic putter to win the game and ignited a fierce American comeback.
European
LudvigÅberg, 2 points (2-2-0) level: b
The Swedes lost more than he won on Thursday and Friday. But he scored a high score on Sunday when he put a blue blue dot on the scoreboard and beat Cantlay.
Matt Fitzpatrick, 2.5 points (2-1-1) rating: one-
Fitzpatrick was solid to spectacular at the partner meeting, and Sunday was still a rock while fighting Bryson DeChambeau, a big gun from Team USA. Yes, DeChambeau’s comeback from 5 is impressive, but that doesn’t happen because Fitzpatrick blinked. The result of the dirty British performance is that Europeans are a little bit of a precious day at every dining table.
Tommy Fleetwood, 4 points (4-1-0) rating: one
From T-shirts to Greens, Fleetwood is also ruthless, a friendly manner that even some New Yorkers don’t seem to bother him. Justin Thomas had just a string of birdies, covered by a cold-blooded putt at 18, leaving Fleetwood with an unbeaten record in the otherwise perfect week.
Tyrell Hatton, 3.5 points (3-0-1) rating: one-
Hatton, known for his outbreak of self-loathing, showed nothing this week. No wonder. He was almost perfect, the only mild play ended with a tie in a singles against Collin Morikawa on Sunday.
Rasmus Højgaard, 0 points (0-2-0) grade: c-
Like the children of Lake Wobigon, almost all Europeans are above average this week. The only failed performance came from Højgaard, who didn’t get a lot of opportunities, but he didn’t do anything.
Viktor Hovland, 1.5 points (1-1-1) grade: b-
Like in English, Hofland’s record has an asterisk, as he was scratched Sunday singles due to a neck injury. After saying everything, he won a win, won the loss and a “envelope rule” tie, which is neither spectacular nor terrible, and given the situation, it is probably a grading/failure to pass/failure.
Shane Lowry, 2 points (1-0-2), grade: one
Despite only three games, Lowry seems to be everywhere, not just the birdie (and a boobed eagle), but also the supportive friend Rory McIlroy, facing relentless verbal abuse. Lowry once said that the Ryder Cup was “why I woke up in the morning.” He knew he had been staying in that moment with the 18-year-old Epic Birdie, which provided his team with the half-dozen needed to keep the cup and he could fall asleep easily.
Robert McIntyre, 1.5 points (1-1-1) grade: b
McIntyre is neither outstanding nor bust, like a reliable role player in the NBA, scoring moderately from the bench.
Rory McIlroy, 3.5 points (3-1-1) grade: one
McIlroy has been a lightning rod all week, but even his critics can’t deny that he is electric. It’s OK, his Sunday loss to Schaffler, and when both players seemed to spend a lot of time, Rory worked hard for the early romp in Europe, working successfully with both Fleetwood and Lowry while greeting stupid slings and fanatical arrows and moving on from the classless fans that he continued to laugh as he was ready to hit. McIlroy has long figured out what the Ryder Cup means to him and his victory on exotic soil. He even predicted the victory. There is no doubt that his arrogant prediction shocked some. But that’s what the great man did. They talk about a big game and support it.
Jon Rahm, 3 points (3-2-0) grade: B+
In the first two days, Rahm achieved the usual tricks to hit his opponents with a combination of strength and fanaticism. He seemed to run out of steam, and he lost the last two games – the mark on him – but by then the damage to the United States had already been done. . . Ram himself most of it.
Justin Rose, 2 points (2-1-0) grade: one-
Old reliable. At 45, the longest tooth competitors of the two teams, when most importantly, the eye-catching clutch putters and dead-eye irons are often in response to American fireworks. He was a year in Saturday’s four-goal match against Scheffler and Dechambeau (six birdies in the first eight holes). Maybe it would be appropriate for a guy named Young to hand him a week’s failure.
Sepp Straka, 1 point (1-2-0) level: c
Straka is not bad, but we scored on a curve in a class full of students and measured by stroke, he was the second worst European for the first two days. On Sunday, he came out hot, but the turn emanated and fell to JJ Spaun.
team leader
Keegan Bradley, Level: C
Bradley fell in love with him, but you won’t work on it. Commendation for his energy and enthusiasm – and gathering his troops for Sunday’s match – but some of his decisions will be separated for the years to come, from benign curriculum to his persistence in persistence without showing signs of life. Disadvantagely, Bradley’s widely acclaimed and selfless decision – choosing not to join the lineup – could be recast in hindsight, which was a move that actually hurt the team.
Luke Donald, Level:
If he makes any wrong moves, he hides them well. Donald’s second straight turn is a picture of calm and certainty, confident and hard preparation. At this point he becomes like the head of the class and you want to make everything right, just you can’t because he’s too pleasant and respectful.
fan
grade: d-
If you’re going to be loud and abusive, at least get creative and get in the water when the guy gets on the ball. If you don’t show it, it’s not difficult to become an enthusiastic fan. This week, too many Bethpages can’t find a relaxed balance.
site
Level: b-
Bethpage Black is a beauty. It can also be a wild beast. But this week, it was incorporated, rough to 1) theoretically giving the United States a competitive edge, while 2) producing excitement birds. But birdies aren’t what makes the game exciting. This is the moment when the pressure is full, and it has nothing to do with the score relative to the PAR. On a spayed court, the game is more bomb-bombed than clever struggles and is more attractive than before.
