Despite a valiant effort, the United States fell one point short of securing the Ryder Cup trophy on home soil. As the dust settles on Whistling Straits, it’s clear that Team USA has plenty of work to do if they want to reclaim the Cup in Italy next year.

Team USA struggled with consistency throughout the week, particularly in their putting. The Americans also found themselves outmatched in the foursomes and four-ball formats, where they were unable to generate enough momentum to overcome a strong European team.

While the outcome was disappointing, there were some bright spots for the United States. Collin Morikawa and Dustin Johnson both had impressive performances, and Scottie Scheffler showed signs of his growing talent. If Team USA can build on these performances and address their weaknesses, they have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with in 2023.
