Phil Mickelson — A

Record: 2-1-1

One of the most vocal critics of the Team USA leadership after losing the Cup in 2014, Mickelson was under immense pressure to perform this week. Luckily for the home crowd, Lefty rose to the occasion — he picked up team wins with Rickie Fowler and Matt Kuchar before going the distance with Sergio Garcia to secure a hard-fought half-point on Sunday. By all accounts, he was also the leader in the team room. Can’t ask for much more from the 46-year-old.
