How do you win the Ryder Cup? The simplest answer is that there are 28 points on the line and once you’ve won 14.5 of those, you’ve won the Cup. The Americans only need 14 to draw and retain the trophy in Rome this weekend.
But there are many different ways to get there. Europe outsmarted the US at Gleneagles and wanted it more at Medinah. The Americans blasted Europe away at Hazeltine and humiliated them at Whistling Straits.
