Luke Donald joked about the vastly different bar bills racked up by US and European teams as he opened up on boozy Ryder Cup celebrations.
The European captain - who has been tasked with reclaiming the Ryder Cup in Rome next year - won all four editions of the biennial showdown that he played in. Donald debuted in Europe's victory at Oakland Hills in 2004 and was part of the 'Miracle at Medinah' in 2012. Such memorable triumphs on away soil go down as two highlights of the former world no.1's career.
The celebrations that go with victory in the prestigious team event are just as unforgettable - as players get a rare chance to celebrate an achievement with players they share close bonds with. And Donald has revealed a brilliant story of how the European team made the most of their 18 1/2 - 9 1/12 thrashing of the US team at Oakland Hills in Michigan. He recalls being told the huge bill that his team amassed, in stark contrast to a modest US sum.
