CHASKA, Minn. — Sunday saved the 41st Ryder Cup from dishonour and Team USA’s tall foreheads from the psychiatrist’s couch. As lead-off bouts go, pugnacious Patrick Reed taking down Rory McIlroy 1-up in the opening singles game was that rarest of heavyweight contests that lives up to the hype. “These are incredibly talented players, and given the right environment, they brought out some of their best golf this week and we won the Ryder Cup. No problems with Patrick at all — he was immense this week,” McIlroy said. That meant the U.S. needed only five points to retake the Cup, after losing three straight and eight of the last 10.
