We can see what a strong week Tiger had along with his partner Steve Stricker and you can see how both Kuchar and Cink battled to get 5 half points. On the other hand what could have been if Mickelson, Furyk, Johnson, Mahan and poor old Bubba had of scored better..

Peter Hanson 0-1-0 1-0-0 0-1-0 1-2-0 3 1.0
You can see how the Euro teams stats are just a little stronger led by Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, Westwood, McDowell and Kaymer and look at Jimenez with 2 points in 3 matches...Rory has 2 points but importantly 2 battling halves, and even the much maligned, by Johnny Miller, Paddy Harrington chipped in 2 points..E Molinari's half point with Fowler was also crucial in the final outcome...
About the Trophy ( rydercup.com)
In 1927, English seed merchant Samuel A. Ryder presented the Ryder Cup to The Professional Golfers’ Association of Great Britain to place as a prize for an international competition between American and British professional golfers.
The Ryder Cup was commissioned for £250. The trophy stands 17 inches high, is nine inches from handle to handle and weighs four pounds. The golfing figure depicted on the top of the trophy reflects the image of Abe Mitchell, a former gardener himself and a friend and instructor of Samuel Ryder. A bout of appendicitis prevented Mitchell from competing in the inaugural Matches in 1927. But he returned to compete for Great Britain in 1929, ’31 and ’33.
