The Americans have gone 30 years without winning the Ryder Cup away from home, a losing streak the entire team knows all too well.
Tiger Woods, left, and then-U.S. vice captain Zach Johnson — now the U.S. captain — watch a match during the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National outside Paris.
And then there was this from NBC lead announcer Dan Hicks, noting that Raymond Floyd was the oldest player on that 1993 team at The Belfry.It hasn’t been from a lack of ability. Those six consecutive road losses featured 12-man combinations of 41 players, 26 of whom have combined for 57 major championships.
Woods played on five losing road teams. Phil Mickelson was there for all six losses during the streak. He was beaten by Phillip Price, the No. 119 player in the world, in a three-point loss at The Belfry in 2002.“You can’t dispute the clutch plays that they make at the right time,” said Paul Azinger, who played on that ‘93 team and now is the lead analyst for NBC.
European teammates pour champagne over Ian Poulter as they celebrate winning the Ryder Cup on Oct. 4, 2010, at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales. “Europe shows up with a 1% advantage,” Azinger said. “I would compare it to being in Vegas. There’s only a 1% advantage in blackjack, but they’re building some pretty nice hotels on it.”
