Ryder Cup Report Card: Team USA

With the 2016 Ryder Cup finally behind us, let’s evaluate the American players’ performances.

After months and months of buildup, the 2016 Ryder Cup is finally in the rearview mirror. But that doesn’t mean we’re done talking about the big event — far from it, in fact. We’ve got a week of analysis set to go online over the next few days, and that includes my Ryder Cup report cards.

While the dust has yet to really settle, we can still evaluate how each player performed at Hazeltine National. However, answering questions about the effectiveness of the American task force and what these matches mean for the future of the event may take more time.

For now, though, let’s get into my Ryder Cup report card for Team USA. These marks will be based mostly on individual performance, so those who struggled in the first four sessions won’t be able to hide behind their partners. Other factors like intangibles and expectations will also play a role in determining these grades.

Without further ado, let’s dive right in. The write-ups have been alphabetized by player name.
