European union helps Woosnam drink in success - by John Hopkins
Europeans believe that success for their continent is more important than individual success. That is why Europe win the Ryder Cup and the US the major championships. Last week, García said that he would not mind losing all five matches if his team won the Ryder Cup, and Paul Casey said he would rather win the Cup than the £1 million he banked in the HSBC World Match Play Championship.
Long before the defeat was a statistic on the scoreboard, US officials were attempting to analyse why Europe have won this event three times in a row.The US just could not handle Europe’s unity, doggedness or skill any more than they could handle the weather, which threatened to stop proceedings.
Yet there is a more meaningful reason than just bad play by the US. Europe put their egos and differences to one side in a way that the Americans, who worship the culture of the individual, are unable to do.
