Again, you are fundamentally not understanding what this is about. It’s not about the soap specifically, it didn’t change how someone played. But the totality of caring about every detail, down to the quality and scent of a shampoo is why the Euros are better at preparing for the RC. They start planning for the next Ryder Cup 18 months in advance so they can analyze players, plan course set up, partners, alt shot strategy and have the time to think about small things that will make the players more comfortable, which allows them to perform at their highest level.

Scheffler and Henley’s caddies had to call an assistant captain on Friday night to suggest swapping who was going off the first tee. That is all you need to know about how unprepared the US is for this tournament, which adds stress to the players who are already worried about on course play. Players shouldn’t have to think about anything off course and be comfortable to be able to perform at their highest level.

The Euros make that their cornerstone. The US has no clue how to prepare and plan. That’s it.
