Phil Mickelson criticized the leadership of U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson after the American team failed to win golf’s premier team competition for the third consecutive time.
The U.S. lost the three-day event 16 1/2-11 1/2 to Europe, the winner of six of the last seven tournaments. Mickelson, who has played 10 times for the U.S. in the event, said the team’s management ignored some of the techniques used by Paul Azinger, the captain last time the Americans won, in 2008.
