The player ratings are in for Team USA and Europe at the 2020 Ryder Cup…
United States
Daniel Berger – 7 2-1-0
He’s not your classical swinger but he gets the job done and he brought a lot of new energy to the side.
He played two rounds of foursomes with Koepka, the second where he was quite vocal in the questioning over a drop, before finally playing his own ball in the anchor singles match with Fitzpatrick.
A sound and popular pick.
Patrick Cantlay – 9 3-0-1
There wasn’t much tub thumping from Cantlay, more a ruthless, calculated amassing of points.
Came into the matches fancied to do well and even exceeded those expectations with a foursomes pairing with Schauffele that will already terrify anyone who has to play them in Italy.
Not sure he has any faults whatsoever, roll on the major wins.
Bryson DeChambeau – 9 2-0-1
We began things questioning his decision to feature in a World Long Drive event on Monday morning and those hand calluses, we finished by revelling in THAT drive at the 5th on Friday and a stellar pairing with Scheffler.
In Paris he went zero in three, he sat out a whole day at the Presidents Cup but, this time around, he was beautifully handled by Stricker and he repaid his faith in spades.
Harris English – 6 1-2-0
Like Finau he was rolled out for the two fourballs and he played second fiddle to his partner both times, the second of which when Lowry’s putt stopped them getting a half.
It’s hard to gauge how his singles with Westwood went given that most of it was played with the overall match done and dusted.
He’s only 32 so no reason to think that this might be the first of several appearances.
Tony Finau – 6 1-2-0
Big T was pretty much the player of the Friday fourballs as he partnered Harris English to a sizeable win over Rory and Lowry with Finau doing the bulk of the damage.
But Lowry then tucked him up the following evening and Finau then did what most other Americans have done in a singles with Poulter.
Much like the rest of his team-mates we saw a different side to Finau this week and he’ll have loved the experience.
