Ryder Cup: Team U.S. win by a record margin
The men in red dominated the Europeans with another crushing defeat on the concluding day of the prestigious biennial event. They won with a staggering score of 19-9, a record in the current format. Moreover, legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus congratulated the winners in a tweet.
Very proud of @stevestricker and @RyderCupUSA! Built a great lead after 2 days & didn’t take the pedal off the metal. Played terrific golf today! Congrats guys! Well played! This is a very big win for American golf! There is a nucleus in place for a great US team for long time.
Stricker was overly emotional and impressed by his squad. He said of the team, “Greatest team of all time, these guys are unbelievable!”
Wiping away a tear, he said one sentence that touched most people’s heart, “I’ve never won a major, but this is my major right here.”
In a major event, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka kept aside their differences and celebrated it out with a hug.
