Players made my job easy, says Europe's Ryder Cup skipper

Triumphant European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn said his 12 players had made his job an “easy one” during a weekend in which they comprehensively outplayed the United States in France.


While Francesco Molinari and rookie Tommy Fleetwood were Bjorn’s top dogs, winning four points as a pair, every member of the side contributed to the tally as Europe regained the trophy they lost at Hazeltine in 2016 with a 17.5-10.5 win on Sunday.

His four picks – Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, Ian Poulter and Paul Casey – earned a total of 9.5 points.


As the celebrations began in earnest, however, Bjorn said the key to victory had been about the collective rather than any individuals – especially against an American side laden with current and former world number ones and multiple major winners.


“I felt all along that this was a good group of guys,” Bjorn, who in 1997 became the first Dane to play in the Ryder Cup, told reporters with his team by his side.
