Wow. Just... wow. Take a look around, everyone. Look at the faces of my players, this is what it's all about.
To my team: What can I say? You were magnificent. Every single one of you rose to the occasion. We didn't just have 32 great golfers, we had one unified team. You didn't just win a trophy; you secured your place forever in the legend of the Ryder Cup. Thank you for the greatest day of my Captaincy.
And to Captain Kevin and your team: I want to offer my profound respect. You played with passion, skill, and sportsmanship. You pushed us to our absolute limit, and that's what makes this competition the greatest in golf. Thank you for wonderful contest.
