There was an article by ESPN.com about an ugly meeting of the U.S. team the Saturday night before the singles matches.

In the article, multiple sources apparently confirm that in the meeting, Tom Watson essentially told his squad “You stink”, and then it went downhill from there.

Toward the end of the meeting, Mickelson spoke to the team about each of his teammates and generated some team spirit and hope for a possible comeback from a 10-6 deficit.

After the ESPN article, Tom Watson issued his own statement. In the statement, Watson finally acts like a captain and takes full blame for the Ryder Cup results, and also says that he has spoken with Mickelson since the infamous post-matches press conference, and the conversation “ended with a better understanding of each other’s perspectives”.

The drama continues.
