Smashing Europe: American young guns target new era of Ryder Cup dominance

'I said this morning I want to get to 20 points. I wanted to send a message.'

Team USA team celebrate with the Ryder Cup trophy after victory against Europe at the  43rd Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin. 

HAVEN, Wisconsin – After suffering its most lop-sided defeat, 19-9, in the Ryder Cup, Team Europe was defiant that it’s not the end of an era and the beginning of a new period of American dominance.

Losing – especially in the fashion they did at Whistling Straits with Americans winning the singles 7-3-2 to cap a dominating week on the shore of Lake Michigan – is not an experience they want to become familiar with.
