EUROPE REGAINS RYDER CUP AFTER PLASTERING USA IN PARIS

Europe won back the Ryder Cup in thrilling fashion after dominating all three days at Le Golf National in Paris. The 17.5-10.5 final points tally does little to sum up the tension of the final day’s singles, which saw USA claw its way back into the match when winning three of the first four matches on Sunday. […]

Emotional Rahm beats Woods: 'Grew up watching that guy'

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Jon Rahm is known for his fiery on-course demeanor. But after taking down his childhood idol to notch his first-ever Ryder Cup point, the Spaniard was reduced to tears. Rahm drew the unenviable task of taking on Tiger Woods in Sunday’s singles play, but he took the opening hole with a birdie […]

Garcia (3-1) becomes highest ever Ryder Cup point earner

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Sergio Garcia came to Le Golf National this week as the most scrutinized combatant on either side. He left as the most prolific winner in Ryder Cup history. Garcia’s addition by Thomas Bjorn received plenty of scorn given his lack of form over the last few months and the strength of other […]

Mickelson not giving up on Ryder Cup career

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – If this is the end of Phil Mickelson’s playing career at the Ryder Cup, it was not the swansong he envisioned. Mickelson struggled on Friday paired with Bryson DeChambeau in foursomes play, losing to Sergio Garcia and Alex Noren, 5 and 4, and was beaten 4 and 2 by Francesco Molinari in […]

But for all of the breathless buildup every four years, for all of the hand-wringing over the captains, for all of the promotional shoots, news conferences, scouting trips, […]

Bjorn getting final Ryder Cup score tattoo

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – After captaining the Europeans to a decisive victory at the Ryder Cup, it seems Thomas Bjorn’s next stop could be a Parisian tattoo parlor. The Dane has been largely stone-faced this week at Le Golf National, but even he cracked a grin when some of his players leaked during the celebratory news […]

'We got it right': Bjorn planned and his players delivered

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – For about 20 minutes – right around the time Rory McIlroy made an unsuccessful excavation attempt from a fairway bunker on the 18th hole – an unfamiliar air of discomfort descended upon Le Golf National. After two days of decisive wins on the course and infectious chants in the stands, European fans […]
