@@flyingjibberish that final shot summed up Mickelson's week. Absolutely hilarious it ended with that shot dumped into the water, and Phil looking like he wanted to get off the course as fast as possible. Was almost like he did it on purpose

Only one reason they lost, there is no I in Team. Something the US still has to learn!

Hmm...

Tom Watson, is old school! It takes 12 players to win NOT PODS!!!!!!!!!

It's down to the individual really, pod system may have worked for Phil but not make any difference to others, if players are prepared, ready and in form they will play well

SLAMMED ?? Just two serious golf professionals with different views on the nature of team play.

Right, it was so civil lol

The Pod system that Azinger barks about is just a joke. You could take a five year-old kid and make him Ryder Cup Captain and he could easily win the Ryder Cup. It is a joke.

Slam? Just a different opinion

They lost again in Europe. Patrick Reed said it best when he said the Europeans check they're ego at the door better than we do

In a new book about Phil, the author says that he wrote an article right the night of this incident claiming that’s what it was and apparently got a text message from Phil saying “it’s like you can read my mind”. So I think that’s exactly what happened.

Ultimate “why are you booing me, I’m right” from Phil here. Now the Saudi lord.

Why all the hate for Phil?

Resorting to a dumb insult because he spoke the truth. Classic

First and foremost NEVER throw your Captain under the bus, that was just wrong Phil! In short Play Better.

Slammed for honest opinion, whatever that may be.....later slammed for not answering questions. Lol. Can't win vs vultures

Think we need no less than three captains,(coach’s), headed by Jack Nicklaus (Think Tank). The Europeans far outperform the US guys in the area of what you call a TEAM! The last three years I’ve seen a bunch of individuals trying to participate on a team with big EGO’s (not waffles). Having lived in Europe, the Europeans are in general more friendly (synergistic) than Americans. You don’t see anything like a Koepka calling his fellow brethren out publicly. WORDS are so powerful and can inspire people or make people feel more apart rather than more together. I’m shocked, that no veteran PGA pro’s have had the b@lls to make a comment to shut Koepka down. PGA history is about honor, integrity, and family, keeping the heritage of the PGA in check which is more important than drawing attention to build images or brands individually.

Awkward…

invest...... process......... involved...... Phil should get involved in politics.

Pod

That team sucked. And the players have to play better bottom line. Whining about pods is for losers.

Phil got slammed pretty hard by the media, especially Brandel Chamblee, but since then things have changed and the Americans are playing much better and seemingly getting along with each other as well as the Europeans and the rest of the world. What he said might have been a jab at Tom Watson, but it's the players that get the loss and have to answer for the poor play when they're paird with someone that maybe isn't one of their best friends. I know when I pay four ball tournaments through out the year, I never ask a complete stranger to be my partner. It's always one of my best friends. I'm glad Phil said what he said and I think it's helped the Americans make the Ryder Cup more competitive. The Europeans have owned our asses the last twenty years and it's time for a change. Go USA in September!!!!!!!!

@@patrickgray5633 Apparently Phil and others were trying to get things changed behind closed doors, but no one at the PGA was listening and so he used this public venue at the press conference to get across that changes had to be made. He told the other players before this press conference he was going to say something and there was no objections. Also he said it wasn't an attack at Watson, but more the PGA and their approach the past 3 ryder cups.

You are SPOT on Jay. Well thought out here. Since Phil's comment, we have followed his philosophy and look at the results. His philosophy is not his creation, it was already in place but Tom Watson an old timer didn't get it 🤯

99% of ‘Ryder Cup talk is shite… “Gameplan” 😂 Go out there and play golf. There’s no plan that can be made against the best players in the world chipping in and holing 50 foot putts

Mickelson is such a jerk. He didn't call out Furyk in 2018 even though they lost by more than in 2014. Mickelson is a tiny tantrum-throwing baby. He didn't like Tom Watson because he knows Watson is a better golfer than he will ever be. Someone get Phil a baby bottle, wah wah

Phil spoke what he felt was on his mind. The media asked and he spoke his opinion. He didnt throw his opinion out there. He would have told the same thing to Tom Watsons face. He was sitting right there so he pretty much did. The other players felt the same way, Phil just had the balls to say it.

Didn't the Americans use the pod system in 2018 and they still lost?

Phil is right on.

Phil spoke the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. He knows what it takes to win in Ryder Cups, look at his record. He WINS way more than he loses so he can back it up. Azinger SMOKES Tom Watson in coaching and leadership. Watson is OLD school, Paul is new and knows how today's players want to be handled, PERIOD 😤. Way to go Phil. Everyone else on his team I guarantee agreed to what he said, just didn't have the BALLS to say it 🤔

'He WINS way more than he loses..."- your comment. Really? Mickelson's career Ryder Cup record is 18-22-7, which includes a 5-6-1 record in singles. That's NOT exactly stellar - a losing record, correct? - for a Hall of Fame player with 40+ PGA tour wins. Phil spoke the truth? The truth as he sees it, perhaps. Another golfer said this about Mickelson in regards to the Ryder Cup: "When things are going well, he's a benefit to the team; when they're not, he'll drag it down." "Everyone else on his team I guarantee agreed to what he said, just didn't have the BALLS to say it." - your comment. Really? How do you know that? It DOES NOT take 'BALLS' to trash your captain in public. Maybe some of the players had issues with Tom, but instead of airing them in public like High Maintenance Phil, they had the common decency to address them with Watson behind closed doors. I'm OLD SCHOOL, and that's what I would have done, i.e., in private. Certainly not in public. And being OLD SCHOOL, if I played poorly, then I would have said I lost because I didn't play well, and left it at that. Period.

How can you "guarantee" anything? The U.S. lost even worse in 2018 but Mickelson the Bully didn't attack Jim Furyk because they're buddies. Mickelson went after Watson because he was threatened by him, period. He didn't like being questioned because he's an arrogant, pompous, aging, sad excuse of a human being pretending to be Mr. Christian while behaving like a Judas.
