Mickelson not at his best in US Ryder Cup triumph


Despite a rather average performance by Phil Mickelson, the USA did beat Europe 16½ - 11½ to win the Ryder Cup for the first time since 1999.
World number two Mickelson - the team’s best ranked player in the absence of Tiger Woods - was the only player along with Hunter Mahan to play in all five session but did contribute only 2 points (1 win, 2 halves, 2 losses).
Here are the results of Phil’s games:
