Ryder Cup predictions
Golf.com: Europe storms back
Josh Schrock writes: ‘Entering singles with a three-point lead and the crowd behind them, the Americans appear to have all the momentum as the final day at Bethpage begins. But the tide soon turns as … Tyrrell Hatton beats Ben Griffin and then (Tommy) Fleetwood takes down (Bryson) DeChambeau 2 and 1 to clinch the cup for Europe.”
CBS Sports: United States wins close one
Patrick McDonald writes: “Everything screams Europe — form, experience, continuity, leadership, pedigree, meaning and whatever else you want to pile on — but something inside says the U.S. will get the job done by the thinnest of margins.”
PGA Tour: Europe will keep it close
Paul Hodowanic writes: “Two things can be true: 1) This is Europe’s best shot to win an away Ryder Cup since Medinah, boasting an experienced and talented roster that goes toe to toe with the Americans. 2) That still won’t be enough to end the home team dominance. The last five Ryder Cups have all been won by the hosts, all with at least a five-point margin. Europe can keep it closer, but ultimately the U.S. wins out.”
Sports Illustrated: Team USA falls short at home
Iain MacMillan writes: ‘We’re going to witness the fall of Team USA at this year’s Ryder Cup. The assumption that the Americans will always be the betting favorite will stop after Europe gets the job done on enemy soil.’
