8. The Ryder Cup always has rude and loud fans

The European fans that came over were pretty out of order too.

And I think the way it shaped up as a match got people worked up too.

Ryder Cup has always been symbolic as it matches European cooperation against US individualism. And you see that on the course where the European players just naturally do better in doubles competition as they're more likely to communicate well with each other. And the Americans do better in singles where they are used to going it alone.

On paper, the European team is stronger, but since this was in the US, the US captain got to set the course up how he thought would most benefit our players.

US made a nice comeback to make it respectable, but per most things in life, the side who worked best as a team won.
