Is our failure in the Ryder Cup over the last couple of decades a failure of the system or is it just that the Euros are better than we are. I think to a large extent it's the latter.
Bingo!!

"You could have heard a pin drop in that room,'' one of those in attendance said. "He was pissed. It all went from there.''
Well ya know what, frick Tom Watson.

Watson started by saying, according to all of the sources: "You stink at foursomes.''
After praising the rookie team of Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, Watson went through the Sunday singles pairings and ridiculed several members of the European side as he went through the matchups. Soon after, Watson was presented a gift by Furyk, a replica of the Ryder Cup trophy that was signed by every member of the team. Instead of thanking them, the sources said Watson said the gift meant nothing to him if the players didn't get the real Ryder Cup on Sunday and that he wanted to be holding it aloft on the green in victory.
Said one of the sources: "That's almost verbatim. He said it basically means nothing to me.''
Added another: "It was fairly shocking that he treated this thoughtful gift with such disdain.''
When Watson was done, other players, as is standard, were invited to speak, and several did, as well as assistant captains Andy North, Raymond Floyd and Steve Stricker. (North also works as an ESPN golf commentator.) Mickelson went last, and he came to the front of the room, then sat in a chair with his back to Watson while he addressed the team, telling it, among other things, that he felt good about a comeback.
"Phil went player by player and told a story about each one," one source in the room said. "It changed the tenor of the room from completely negative and heads down to 'Let's give this a go tomorrow.' He gave almost 180 degrees difference than what Tom did.''
Phil should be playing captain in 2016.

I would agree, it's time to try a playing captain.

Phil as a playing captain sounds like it already happened, unofficially.
But yeah, Phil as captain would be awesome.

Wouldn't mind seeing Phil get a shot. That said I wish they would give Fred Couples a shot, I think he is somebody everyone would rally around and he would keep the team loose.

It did but I wouldn't want a playing captain.
Fred do is too laid back. Azinger or. BUst.

There is a reason Watson has been divorced a few times and his kids don't talk to him

Tom Watson is Phil Mickelson's bitch!

Honestly if that article is true I lost a lot of respect for watson.

Agreed.
But this comment helped to cut the tension:

I'm going to put it right on the line. There's been a lot of complaints already. Fooling around on the course, bad language, smoking grass, poor caddying. If you guys want to get fired. If you want to be replaced by golf carts, just keep it up.

Phil at first was eaten alive but after this story he will be king!

I hope Billy Payne puts 'em at the same table at the Champions Dinner and pairs 'em together the first two rounds.
