FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — All the trophies, all the accolades, all the dominance means so little, it seems, when it comes to the Ryder Cup. Ask Tiger Woods, who famously has been on just one winning U.S. team. Ask Phil Mickelson, who remarkably played in 12 consecutive Ryder Cups but lost more points than anyone in the event’s storied history.
Perhaps that is the best way to frame Scottie Scheffler’s performance at Bethpage Black, a perplexing week of lost points and stray shots that looked so far removed from the force of will that he’s bestowed upon the professional game in recent years.
