G-Mac: US need for a win will make next Ryder Cup an epic

McDowell thinks Phil Mickelson broke an “unwritten rule” by criticising captain Tom Watson in public after the United States suffered their third straight defeat — and eighth in the last 10 contests — last month.
Mickelson’s comments in the US team’s press conference — with Watson sat just a few feet away — have prompted the PGA of America to announce an 11-strong task-force to look into all aspects of the Ryder Cup, including how they select captains, the qualifying system and when wild cards should be picked.
