You don't think captain should take some responsibility for such a demoralising and embarrassing loss?Originally Posted by Elwood Blues
It is not simply about just picking a team.
The form of the players, realising their strengths and weaknesses.
He should get inside knowledge of the course and the backroom staff, who I am sure there are many of, getting the players as prepared as they can be.
It was not only the amount of points they lost by, it was the manner of how they lost them.
Very few went down the eighteenth faiway.
The only saving grace is that covid probably played a significant part in some of the prep and would no doubt have been to the advantage of the American team.
However, in years to come, PH will be remembered as the captain who lost the Ryder Cup by a record score.
I don't happen to think that he was just unlucky.
