Team USA’s historic Ryder Cup win is nothing less than one big celebration. Players and fans have been ecstatic at the team’s dominant performance, wondering if this is one of many more victories that will come their way. While Team USA must be partying to celebrate their win, they all agree Dustin Johnson – the oldest on the team – is on another level altogether.

Johnson might have just had one of the best weeks in his career. He is now the first American in 42 years to score the maximum available five points for his team. As a result, the Americans registered a stunning 19-9 victory over the Europeans.

One highlight was Johnson addressing Steve Stricker, advising him on not making some things public. “Next time, let’s not tell all the Green Bay (Packers) fans that you’re a (Chicago) Bears fan,” he said. The Packers’ home state is Wisconsin, which is also where the U.S. Captain is from. Johnson even spoke about his bromance with Collin Morikawa, another fun moment during the team’s press event.
