Luke Donald replied, “No, never heard that one”. The member, according to Donald said, “Yeah apparently this is folklore within the membership at Oakland Hills”. He then revealed that the bar bill for the US Team was $600.
However, that can be labeled as a pocket exchange compared to Team Europe’s bill. An intrigued Donald asked the European team’s bill, to which the member replied, “$30,000”. Being the captain of the team in the forthcoming event, Donald, with a grin on his face, added, “We like to have a good time”. He ended by comically saying, “No bud lights in our team room”.
A 5 figure bar bill is surprising for many. Moreover, after getting that drunk they went on to win the event too. Or perhaps the bill was totalled after their big 2004 win. Regardless, it will be exciting to see the unthinkable unfold next year when both teams finally face each once again.
