How Ryder Cuppers on both sides fared in final starts before Bethpage

Two years ago in Rome, Jordan Spieth was asked to diagnose the Americans†lopsided Ryder Cup defeat. With nine of 12 U.S. Ryder Cuppers taking five weeks off leading into those matches, Spieth didnâ€t need to think long.

“If you asked us when we would like to play the Ryder Cup relative to our schedule, I think we would probably say, give us a week after The Tour Championship or two weeks after and then go, instead of five,†Spieth said. “For me personally, Iâ€d like to feel pretty sharp going in and obviously individually, I did not have the opportunity to even play any of those events where I may have. But thatâ€s just how I feel.â€

On Sunday, all but two of this yearâ€s U.S. players wrapped up four days at the PGA Tourâ€s Procore Championship, with Scottie Scheffler winning by a shot over Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin. The Americans had four players in the top in Napa.

On the other side of the pond, European captain Luke Donald saw 11 of his 12 guys tee it up in the BMW PGA Championship in Surrey, England. LIV player Jon Rahm was among them, tying for 13th. Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton and Viktor Hovland led the way with T-5â€s.
