Davis Love III’s message was clear on Monday morning: The eight automatic qualifiers for this year’s U.S. Ryder Cup must now step up.
After two years of task forces and tradition-breaking, it’s up to the players, not Captain Love or the PGA the America, to change the U.S. fortunes in the biennial matches.
“Now it’s time for this top 8 to take ownership of this team. These eight guys need to pick four more. From No. 1 to No. 8 they need to take ownership of this team,” Love said in New York City.
