Ah well... Fair attempt out the bunker. Etcha was fortunate at the par 3 that he birdied...great putt, but never meant the tee shot. Was a gust of wind from being wet.
 
Agree with the above. I thought we'd set a nice blueprint where the new captain takes over for the home event, then assuming they win that, keeps the captaincy for the next away event so we have cohesion to help us win away. If Donald is staying for the next one then ideally he'd need to stay for the next two!
 
It'll be interesting if this is where Luke is felt that he has outstayed his welcome? When he agreed to do it for a second time, it was taken very positively and so they all went into that Ryder Cup fully focused and confident. But if there is a much wider opinion that he should have stepped down, and these questions started getting asked by the media, and appearing in the media, will it add a few percentage points to the doubts going into the event?

I wonder who would be the best candidate to be the next Ryder Captain, either the next one (if Luke was to step down) or the one after that. Rose at some point, but he keeps doing the goods as a player. Really disappointing Poulter is not in the conversation. LIV or not, he is definitely one of the few Mr Ryder Cup men

Whoever it is, I would hope they are already involved in the set-up now. That has worked for us in recent years - the next captain should be involved in some capacity, maybe as a vice or part of the leadership team. In Rose's case it might be as a player/vice kind of role if they want to prime him to do the job next.
