Farmingdale, NY – the thing people don’t get – that is, people who are not golf people – is that golf is about losing. You lose all the time and now and again you win. Reason Jack nicklaus It is so widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes ever, in all sports, it is due to the ashes he showed in the loss. Reason Tommy FleetwoodEnglish star Ryder Cup, was holding the Nicklaus-Jacklin award of 2025 Ryder Nicklaus-Jacklin was due to the ashes he has shown in his various and disturbing losses. In the 2023 Ryder Cup, English Golf Justin Rose was awarded. On Sunday evening as Europeans were celebrating their victory in Ryder Cup, Rose tried to spray Fleetwood with champagne. Fleetwood used his Nicklaus-Jacklin price as a shield.
Mimi gets his name from two historical figures Ryder Cup, Jack Nicklaus and one of his contemporaries, English golf player Tony Jacklin, who won the US Open in 1970. Later Jacklin was a four -time captain Ryder Cup. The two players will permanently connect for a Nicklaus blow gave Jackl as the last moment of the 1969 Ryder Cup, an act of sports ash that should mean more now than her, and that would say a lot of time. That Ryder Cup ended in a 16-16 tie, caught by what is now known as concession.
On Sunday evening, I asked Fleetwood if the American Cup team Ryder 2025 lost with Grace.
“Yes, they did,” Fleetwood said. This, the day after one of the most attractive days, for golf behavior, has ever seen the sport. Saturday iswash in Bethpage Black was the behavior of the fans. But every American player, Caddy, Plus Captain and his five assistants and other team staff could have done more to keep peace.
“There are many boys in the American team that I would classify as close friends on the tournament,” Fleetwood said. “One thing when you compete against a person as an individual, and is another when you compete as part of a team.” The team’s mentality, Fleetwood seemed to suggest, creates an elevated intensity that can come with the cost of behavior and habit. He was saying it didn’t happen in Bethpage on Sunday. He said, “We all shook hands when it was over.”
And how about Saturday?
“What is what it is,” said Fleetwood. Or it was what it was. “Our boys did an amazing job playing under those circumstances.”
Rory Mcilroy endured a the stream of verbal abuse on Saturday, and by extension So did his wifeErica. Golf at its highest level woke up with a black eye on Sunday. For the sake of the game and its traditional ash standards, the thing that Jack Nicklaus was particularly stood, Golf needed a good Sunday in Ryder Cup. Golf delivered.
At a distance in time and space, Mcilroy grew up in a suburbs of Belfast under the magic of Jack Nicklaus. Mcilroy’s father, Gerry, was a great Nicklaus fan. Over the past 15 or more years, Rory has been able to get to know Nicklaus and live near him at the Bear club in Southern Florida.
Sunday evening, in practice by placing Green, his white champagne -stained white team shirt, Mcilroy spoke briefly, in a way of speaking, about the inheritance of Nicklaus.
“American players developed themselves with the class today, absolutely,” Mcilroy said. “All week, really. Lots of classes. We put them in a hole early and they treated it well.
“With some of the things I had to deal with this week on the course, I really appreciated how (Justin Thomas and Cameron Young) tried to calm the crowd,” Mcilroy said, referring to his Saturday afternoon session with the best ball with Shane Lowry. “With Scottie (Scheffler) today, it wasn’t a lot of a match in terms of golf quality, but it was very civilian. All the players were. Everyone has said,” We’re very bad with what you had to pass. “It is difficult to miss the Ryder Cup.
The total of the score showed that Europeans won 15-13. As is often the case, the table of total results has barely hinted for the bubble stories underneath. Two bad days of bad golf behavior could have really damaged golf. On Sunday, Golf got a W.
