There are times when you just need to say well done and leave it at that. The quotes that keep coming don't help them. As Mel has said, if the reply is accurate, ouch.

Always seems to be “issues” anytime the US lose
Only have to go back to when Mickleson decided to crucify Tom Watson publicly

Europe need to be thankful that the USA seem to self-destruct more often than not. If they ever got their act together then we'd be in trouble. They nearly always have the better players but hardly ever seem to have the better team. Long may that continue!
JT has had a mare there, like others have said, accept defeat and work on rectifying it for the next one.

Think this was on the No Laying Up podcast that JT is being quoted which I listened to. He started with the pretty lame excuses of Europe made more putts etc as to why they got thumped, before being slightly led (imo) by the interviewer into course setup. It showed me that USA are still years behind the European approach to the competition and still just rely on individual skill rather than the strength of the collective

I still think the talk of course set-up is being overblown somewhat. The players mostly all play the same events and courses throughout the year, so I would think whatever set-up favours one team would favour both teams for the most part. Just weak excuses and sour grapes to blame course set-up.

10000%.
Even the chat on that episode about the logical fix is to go to and use the orginisation that sets up the tournament courses (PGAtour) weekly as if this would benefit the US players.
Forgetting pretty much the full European team are playing in the same tournaments.

JT’s almost pure dismissal of stats etc. I took as a bit of a dig at European team too, obviously with Donald/molinari’s attention to detail stat wise. Couple of points did make sense but throwing in about him and tiger never looking at a stat once was just a bit yawn. As if they were some mad force together.
Just hold your hands up and say europe have been streets ahead in every department for a while.
Even suggesting presidents cup hinders them Ryder cup wise. Bonkers
