Column: Team USA always comes home with some drama. Just never the Ryder Cup
Associated PressGUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy — The Americans always seem to come home from the Ryder Cup with plenty of drama. “I’ve already done seven or eight interviews today,” Stefan Schauffele said Sunday from just beyond the first tee at Marco Simone as he waited for his son’s singles match to start. The topic sounded dramatic — Xander Schauffele potentially not playing in the Ryder Cup over a contract dispute — and it provided perfect fodder after the cup had been won. The ultimate goal of Stefan Schauffele is for Ryder Cup players to be compensated, a topic he first raised at Whistling Straits and one that certainly isn’t original. “I’m creating a foundation to build our defense for future payment,” Stefan Schauffele had said in the weeks leading to the Ryder Cup.
