Steve Stricker

both went winless at the 39th Ryder Cup as the U.S. fell apart on the final day to lose the Cup 14 1/2 to 13 1/2.  The Americans started the day with a 10-6 advantage and blew the lead.

Stricker lost three times with Tiger Woods as his partner and then lost his singles match on Sunday to Germany’s Martin Kaymer 1-up.  The 45-year-old Stricker was one of U.S. Captain Davis Love III’s four at-large picks.

The only American points on Sunday came from Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson and Jason Duffner.
