Rafael Cabrera-Bello — A

Record: 2-0-1

I was all set to give Cabrera-Bello an A-minus, but I stopped myself — there’s no reason to take anything away from his stellar performance at Hazeltine. Partnered with Sergio Garcia in team play, the Ryder Cup rookie managed a 2-0-1 record in a week highlighted by his massive come-from-behind half in an alternate shot match against Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. In hindsight, it’s clear he should have played more.
