-- When did the Ryder Cup end.

Patrick Cantlay said after his singles match that he woke up and told the team he wanted to get to 20 points.

Maybe you didn't think the Ryder Cup is over until Dustin Johnson popped the first champagne bottle, which happened as quickly as humanly possible following the U.S.

Whatever the case, wherever you land, the second your Ryder Cup ended, something new began for a much-critiqued, oft-maligned U.S.

There has been a lot of angst (much of it from me!) over the last few decades about United States team golf, specifically when it comes to the Ryder Cup.

It worked until it didn't when everything fell apart at the 2018 Ryder Cup in Paris.

Even coming into this week, there were myriad questions about Brooks Koepka's buy-in, DeChambeau's focus, whether those two could be in the same team room and whether captain Steve Stricker had lost control of the team room before anyone had ever congregated.

team was the best golf team of all time.

Best average OWGR of any Ryder Cup roster, every player won a match before singles and they set the modern points won record.

team both became the best golf team ever and transformed expectations at future Ryder Cups.

He deferred, but every player on the team hooted, hollered or nodded that they wanted to play for him again. .

"100%," said Dustin Johnson, who became the first top-ranked American and just the fifth player all time with a perfect 5-0-0 mark at the Ryder Cup.

player on this team to win multiple Ryder Cups.

"It felt like a player-friendly environment," said Spieth.

It was, 'Hey, you guys took care of business today, go get your rest, take care of business tomorrow.' He knew this team was playing phenomenal golf coming into this event and put us in position to stay out of the way ..2

However, having mega-personas like them is not always the best thing on a team of 12.

It's not coincidental that the first Ryder Cup in nearly three decades that neither played was the one that felt not just like a generational shift but also a complete transformation in the dynamic of the team.

Spieth mentioned it, and it engendered a sense of similar ownership in this week that is necessary for the trust you need in one another at the Ryder Cup.

team, they really bought into the team aspect of Ryder Cups, Presidents Cups.

And having guys like that on the team, yeah, they are going to be formidable opposition from now until I'm probably not playing Ryder Cups, whenever that is, in hopefully 20 years' time.".

There's a big difference between being the most talented team ever and the best team ever.

We already knew this was the most talented team coming into the week, playing on a golf course perfectly suited to its strengths.

It became the best team because Stricker managed that talent perfectly.

Scheffler went out on Sunday and lit up the best player on the planet (and of the week) 4UP and never trailed a hole.

"We needed to win this one, and I think it was a massive stepping stone for this team," said Spieth.

Surely things did not go perfectly behind the scenes all week, but this year's press conference felt less like a team of 12 individuals that was mashed together for the sake of this massive event that happens so infrequently and more like a group of 12 individuals that will remain a shadow team as they play on their own in the lead up to Rome.

"Like honestly, to be able to share the team room with these boys, to be able to play for [Padraig Harrington], it's just been so special," said Shane Lowry this week.
