CHASKA, Minn.
Allen Robinson Womens Jersey . -- Officially,
the first United States Ryder Cup victory in 2,933 days was clinched at exactly
4:09 p.m. CT when Ryan Moore lagged a birdie putt on the final green at
Hazeltine National Golf Club and was quickly approached by his opponent, Lee
Westwood, hat already in hand.A more thrilling conclusion might have been
Patrick Reed, the man they call Captain America, romping and stomping his way to
the deciding point, or Phil Mickelson, the clear-cut team leader in his 11th
career appearance, sealing it in dramatic fashion.There might not have been a
more appropriate finish, though. As the 12th and final player named to the team
less than one week before he clinched it for them, Moore represented the
derivative of a two-year process that began with infighting and finger-pointing,
then transitioned into task-forcing and delegating, and culminated with
celebrating and champagne-spraying.In some ways, yes, Moore said of his winning
point. That seems kind of fitting.Exactly two years and four days before the
U.S. team giddily answered questions about what went right and why they were
able to prevail Sunday, they sat in a similar room with a very different
undertone. Not long after handily losing to Europe at Gleneagles, the postmatch
media conference took a dark turn, as Mickelson publicly led the charge in
criticizing then-captain Tom Watson for his leadership style.It might not have
been the most elegant strategy, but Mickelson did influence immediate change in
the balance of power.Within months, a task force was formed, consisting of
former captains, veteran players, Rickie Fowler to represent the younger
generation and PGA of America officials. That exact terminology quickly became
the butt of many jokes, but it did serve a few necessary purposes.The task force
identified Davis Love III as the best person to (again) captain the team. It set
in place a natural succession of future captains who would ascend from the vice
captaincy roles. And, most importantly, it let the captains and players become
more invested in the team.Those were the positives. The negative? The task force
also opened itself up to greater criticism if the plan backfired.Or as Mickelson
explained in the afterglow of Sundays victory: The pressure started when some
dumb ass opened his mouth two years ago in the media center.There is no
now-or-never at the Ryder Cup. Theres no such thing as a must-win.What existed,
though, was the risk that the U.S. team had placed itself in a predicament in
which it was more ripe for disappointment -- or, even worse, that the event
would lack any true competition, with the same team winning every other
year.Some changes, such as the decision to bring back Love, who had captained
the team to a heartbreaking loss at Medinah in 2012, had a gradual impact.
Others, like the newly enforced rule to save a final pick for just before this
week, offered a direct effect.The players were in a room, helping build
something for this week; it wasnt just going to be something thrown together,
Fowler said. This all started a year and a half ago. We set ourselves up to
succeed this week. By no means did that mean we were going to come here and win.
It just put us in the best position for the players to play well and the
captains and vice captains to do their jobs.If the second U.S. triumph since the
turn of the century started with Mickelson calling for change two years ago and
ended with Moore being conceded his match, there were plenty of other factors at
play.From Tiger Woods taking a serious role as vice captain alongside Steve
Stricker, Jim Furyk, Tom Lehman and Bubba Watson (in effect, forming a cabinet
for Love), to the recent passing of Arnold Palmer, whose likeness adorned the
walls of their team room and served as constant inspiration, there were so many
little bits and pieces that helped form the nucleus of this victory.Theres so
many things that happened this week that if youd written the story and the
movie, you wouldnt believe the ending, said Love, who clearly had the respect of
every team member. I think it just points out how close we are and what a great
team we are that the guy that came in at the last minute is the one that walks
away with the last putt.As for Mickelson, he was thrilled with the win, but
confident it wont end with this week.The thing about this is that we need to
build on this, otherwise, its all for naught, he said. We created a very solid
foundation this year. ... Its important that we build on that.As soon as Moore
clinched the victory Sunday afternoon, it started a chain reaction of chanting
fans and crying captains and hugging teammates, all soon being drenched in
champagne.It had been 2,933 days since the U.S. team felt that sensation. With a
plan now in place and the balance of power shifted to the players, they are
determined to ensure it wont be that long before they are celebrating again.

Scotland -- Emotions will be heightened at Great Britains Davis Cup semifinal
against Argentina, with a grieving Andy Murray to miss his grandfathers funeral
on Friday to play Juan Martin del Potro in the opening match.Here in the city of
his birth, the Wimbledon and Olympic champion was absent from a news conference
that followed the draw ceremony, due to what the Lawn Tennis Associations
spokesman called a personal reason.Murray is understood to have spent Thursday
afternoon with his family, after his paternal grandfather, Gordon -- the father
of his dad Willie -- passed away last week. Leon Smith, the British captain,
expects Murray to play against Del Potro when the pair will be reprising last
months Olympic final.Gordon Murray, who lived in Kilsyth in Lanarkshire with his
wife Ellen, once said that he always knew his grandson was destined for
greatness: I saw talent in him when he was very young.It is understood that
Jamie Murray -- who attended the media conference, and who isnt needed on the
hard court at the Emirates Arena until he plays doubles alongside his brother on
Saturday -- will attend the funeral.For very different reasons -- the sheer
intensity of the occasion, with brutal rallies and a contest lasting more than
four hours -- the Olympic final was a very emotional occasion for Murray, with
the Briton and the Argentina hugging at the end. Its going to be a tough match
after our great battle in Rio, which had a lot of ups and downs, and a lot of
momentum shifts, and which was physically and mentally draining, Murray said, in
comments provided by the LTA. I think both of us were pretty tired afterwards,
and emotional. It will be another intense atmosphere.The format of the Davis Cup
is supposed to keep the glitterati apart -- and the anticipation building --
until the Sunday afternoon. But that is not how it has worked out here, with
Murray and Del Potro to meet on Friday lunchtime.For any corporate
lunch-munchers coming to the Emirates Arena, here is an order of play that has
the potential to give them a nasty dose of indigestion. No one will want to
linger over their dessert and coffee and so miss the opening exchanges of the
first match of the weekend, due to start a few minutes after 1 p.m. BST, with
the outcome to have a huge bearing on whether Britain will retain the Davis Cup,
after last year winning the competition for the first time since Fred Perry and
company in 1936.Given that the Olympic final was so long on drama, emotion and
running time, its entirely possible that Murray and De Potro wont be finished
until the late afternoon, or potentially even the early evening. They will be
followed on to the speedy hard court by Kyle Edmund and Guido Pella, with Smith
preferring the Yorkshireman to Dan Evans, whose strong recent form is such that
he held a match point against Stan Wawrinka, the eventual US Open champion, in
their third-round encounter in New York.At most ties, the countries best two
players dont meet until Sundays encounter betwween the leading singles
nominations.
Yannick Ngakoue Womens Jersey. Not here,
though, and thats not because of any backstage chicanery.The explanation for
Murray and Del Potro playing on Friday is that the South Americans ranking is
still lower than his true ability as he continues his comeback after so many
years of wrist operations. Even after his run to the quarterfinals of the US
Open, which saw him bumped up the standings, he is still at No.64 in the world.
The rules dictate that the two singles players chosen by a captain must be
nominated in ranking order, so with the world No.49 Pella also picked to play on
the first day, Del Potro could only ever be the second nomination, and a
countrys No. 2 always plays the opposing nations No.1 on Friday.Its an exciting
way to start the tie -- people are going to grab hold of that and thats great,
Smith said.There had been speculation that Argentinas singles nominations would
be Del Potro and Leonardo Mayer, who has a triple-digit ranking. In that
scenario, Del Potro would have been the first nomination and so would have
avoided Murray until Sunday.Its debatable whether it favours Murray or Del Potro
to play their match on day one when both will be fresher. Perhaps it gives some
benefit to Murray, given he is expected to feature on all three days of the tie,
as he will also be required alongside his brother Jamie in the Saturday doubles
rubber. Del Potro, meanwhile, has only been nominated for the singles, with
Federico Delbonis and Mayer selected for the visitors [though, these line-ups
are all subject to change]. But heres what we can say with some certainty -- the
result of the opening match will set the tone and the mood for the weekend.Its
not often a British captain has the luxury of uming and erring about his choice
of second singles player, but that was the situation Smith found himself in. A
strong argument could have been mounted for either Edmund [the world No.55] or
Evans [ranked two spots higher] to compete on Friday. Evans could still play on
Sunday.No one came closer than Evans to beating Wawrinka at Flushing Meadows and
that was the second successive major, after Wimbledon, when he made the last 32.
Edmund, meanwhile, won two singles rubbers in the quarterfinal against Serbia in
Belgrade -- Murray travelled as a cheerleader rather than as a participant --
and had excellent wins against Richard Gasquet and John inner on the way to the
fourth round of the US Open [he would lose a one-sided match to Novak
Djokovic].Edmund against Pella is also a re-match from a meeting earlier in the
season, though clearly not of the same order of magnitude as Murray and Del
Potros. Edmund served for the match when he played Pella in Indian Wells, in the
Californian desert, in March, but he couldnt close it out.Should Britain
progress into a second successive final, they would play either France away or
Croatia at home.
