Skinny: Maybe the better grade here would be “Incomplete” considering we still haven’t heard a strong rationale from captain Tom Watson as to why he didn’t play Saturday.

Skinny: Although he was boat raced by Rory McIlroy in Sunday singles and still hasn’t won a Ryder Cup match, Fowler capped a defining season in the year’s biggest events with another solid performance.

Skinny: Another American veteran with an inexplicably pedestrian Ryder Cup record. A game that should be perfect for match play has produced a 10-20-4 career line.

Skinny: Ordinary play over the second half of this season continued at Gleneagles, with his only a half-point coming in a meaningless singles match.

Skinny: Kuchar didn’t pair well with either Jim Furyk or Zach Johnson in foursomes play. He’s going to be a perennial player on U.S. Ryder Cup teams and needs to find a partner.

Skinny: He pulled Europe’s best all week, losing his Saturday foursomes match against Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia and going 0-1-1 against Justin Rose. Not sure the U.S. should expect more than that.

Skinny: He was sat for a full day for the first time in a Ryder Cup career that stretches back two decades, but rolled on Sunday against home favorite Stephen Gallacher. It was the imperfect end to a trying year.

Skinny: He may not be a top-5 player, but he certainly performed like one at Gleneagles, going undefeated and winning a heated Sunday bout against Henrik Stenson.

Skinny: Poor Simpson bore a brunt of the complaints from fans, but after an ugly opening match he never got back in the lineup before a singles half against Poulter.

Skinny: Watson called Spieth, along with Patrick Reed and Rickie Fowler, the future core of the Ryder Cup and after a brilliant debut the future doesn’t look quite as bad.

Skinny: One of the bright spots of the U.S. squad, Walker formed a solid four-match alliance with Rickie Fowler, earning three halves before tiring on Saturday afternoon.

Skinny: He didn’t win a match or any confidence from future captains when he said he was “too nice for the Ryder Cup.” Watson had far too much confidence in the Masters champion.

Skinny: He was the wrong guy for the job - out of touch with the current players and the demands of the job - but must share the blame with PGA of America president Ted Bishop, whose vision it was to bring back the 65-year-old.
