While Europe likely has two solid captain options for 2027 at Adare Manor in Luke Donald and Justin Rose, the Americans have far more captain uncertainty.
        
    
    Brandel Chamblee joins Golf Today to reflect on the fan behavior at the Ryder Cup and the changes needed moving forward while examining Keegan Bradley’s approach to captaining Team USA.
        
    The 45th Ryder Cup is in the books, and it was Europe holding off the U.S., 15-13, despite winning just one singles match on Sunday at Bethpage Black. Here’s how each player and captain graded.
        
    
    The Ryder Cup indignation is well placed following three wildly contentious days, but it is also a little misplaced.

    No other competitor in this 45th Ryder Cup had endured what McIlroy had over the past three days at Bethpage Black, where he was subject to a constant barrage of heckling and personal attacks from the partisan New York crowd.
        
    
    Viktor Hovland withdrew prior to his Sunday singles match due to a neck injury. This led to both teams getting a half-point due to the Ryder Cup’s envelope rule, which Keegan Bradley thinks “has to change” in the future.
