Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback

CHASKA, Minn. -- When American Dustin Johnson cradled the 17-inch Ryder Cup trophy during the winners news conference at Hazeltine National Golf Club on Sunday night, he -- like nearly all of his U.S. Ryder Cup teammates -- did so for the first time in their careers.Captains pick Ryan Moore, the last man named to the 2016 U.S team, handed Johnson the Ryder Cup trophy and DJ kissed the golden likeness of Samuel Ryder, for which the biennial matches are named. Johnson then passed it to his teammate Matt Kuchar, who gazed at the prized possession for what felt like an hour, reading the inscriptions on the statuette. At one point, it looked like he wasnt going to ever part with it.All of this occurred as other American players answered questions from reporters about how they went about their 17-11 victory over Team Europe, just the second U.S. victory in the Ryder Cup this century.Of the 12 men on Team USA, only two -- 11-time Ryder Cup player Phil Mickelson and J.B. Holmes -- had actually won the Ryder Cup. Even vice captain Tiger Woods sat on the winning side just once in his career as a player. On the flip side, six European team members had each at least won the Ryder Cup twice, even with half their squad being rookies in 2016.Local Minnesota golf legend and 2016 U.S. vice captain Tom Lehman, who led the Americans to one of their worst defeats ever, an 18?-9? loss in 2006 at the K Club in Ireland, got emotional when speaking about how important it was to bring back the Ryder Cup to American soil.Lets just say that when Ryan Moore got that last point, that me and my whole family were bawling like babies, Lehman said. ... To have that cup here in Minnesota means the world to me. ... So to be a part of this team and in this state, my home state, two hours from where I grew up, its a dream come true and I am so grateful for this opportunity.So what does Team USA have to do so more American golfers get to experience that moment of holding the Ryder Cup trophy in triumph?[U.S. Ryder Cup captain] Davis [Love III] is going to be a very instrumental part of that going forward in two years, because for us to go to Europe and try to win the Cup is a whole different feat, Mickelson said about the 2018 matches that will be held in Paris. Thats going to require a whole different level of play, of solidarity, of fortitude and we are going to have to build on this in two years if we want to try to retain the Cup.So its important to start this foundation. Yes, its great that we had success this week, but its not about one year or one Ryder Cup. Its about a multitude, for decades to come.
