Americans need short memory in the Ryder Cup

In addition to the choice of Ryder Cup team flag, players can also add personal stamps (up to eight characters) and paintfill colors (choice from 12 colors).

The 22-year-old from Sheffield is the youngest player on either side in this year’s Ryder Cup. There are hardly any strangers in the Ryder Cup.

Reed, who won three and halved one of his four matches in an unbeaten rookie performance in 2014, said: “It’s forgive and forget”. He has a career 13-17-3 record and has played on only one winning team in his seven Ryder Cups, in 1999 at Brookline, Mass.

“His eyes are moving all around and the adrenaline is flowing”.

Ryder Cup golfer Danny Willett has been forced to apologise after his brother wrote a magazine article attacking American golfers and fans.

“This is his first Ryder Cup and I know the last Ryder Cup was my first and it’s such a special and awesome moment, so to have something distract you from enjoying your first moment is unfortunate”.

“If these things happen, Europe will win, and I’ll try to support gracefully by embracing the same sense of fair-mindedness that has permeated this unbiased article”.

Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton, telling Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte that he was “totally in the wrong” and used “an extreme example” of how a captain can impact play. You form a task force and it doesn’t go right this week, where do you go from there?

There may also come a point where Woods steps in front of the team to give it a rah-rah speech, but until then, he’s basically the minder for a team “pod” that includes Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Matt Kuchar. I will let him deal with it between siblings.

However, there’s something Woods, who plans to make his return to the PGA Tour at the Safeway Open in two weeks, hasn’t done at Hazeltine that has Reed slightly disappointed. It has never won a Ryder Cup with that many newcomers when the matches were on the road. “It’s just trying to make them ready for that and trying to make sure that they are comfortable with where they are. It’s really stuff that you’re like, well, I should have been thinking about that”. It’s sustaining the momentum over three days of nonstop action that has been the problem. You guys go get ’em.

The next chance starts Friday at Hazeltine.

“Hopefully this time, having done it before, it comes a little easier”, he said.

“If they win this week’s it’s probably the greatest victory of all time”. They saw it. I didn’t have to cover it up. He shared the article in question via his Twitter account, saying “Sorry to any American followers… but I mean every word”.
