No, just in my own mind.

Pros:

US team far more skillful on and around the greens.

Great course with getable par fives and wide fairways and fast greens and not overly long.

All of the US girls scored points.

Hall, Yin and Sagstrom for their age looks the goods for the future.

Creamer even though annoying as hell got the business done, not the best on course score wise any day but all you have to do is beat the opposition.

Kerr's putting on those greens was out of this world.

The bond the US girls had was by superior, the first 2 days you could see them encourage each other and were much chattier with each other but more importantly on the green many many times both US girls and their caddies would look at putts together whilst the Euro's struggles with lines and speed by themselves.

 

 

Cons:

I know their is a lot of pressure but the amount of time many of the US girls took over iron shots and putts was poor and needs to be addressed but won't be, totally unfair on their opponent and future young player who think it's also acceptable to play like a 90 year old and take forever.

When your team is weak and the Euro team was very light on class and form you need the biggest names to step up, Reid and Ciganda were average at best overall and the poor rookies were never going to lift to make up for it.

Kerr never picks up her opponents maker after winning the hole, saw her a few times preferring to walk straight over it or past it whilst all the girls on both teams constantly picked up the other girls makers.

Fourball teams on both days were poor selections from AS.

Euro's inability on the first 2 days to hole putts mainly due to poor pace, hole after hole 5 feet short or 5 feet past.

I know home crowd advantage and all of that but after 9 holes in the singles and it was looking 50/50 the crowd stopped applauding the euro good shots and holed putts, it's happened in the past on both sides of the ditch and in the Ryder Cup too but its still poor.
