GLENEAGLES, Scotland — When Andy Roddick, the now-retired tennis star, was asked about his rivalry with Roger Federer, he answered, “That’s not a rivalry. He keeps winning.” The same could be said for the European team’s dominance against the United States in the Ryder Cup. Once it was a rivalry. Now it’s an irrelevancy.

Here’s a shock: For most of the U.S. side in the Ryder Cup 2014 at Gleneagles, the grades weren’t very good in their losing effort. In fact, the team never looked better as a whole than it did in the pre-tournament photo above.

In pairs, Europe proved a force far too powerful for the United States to stop. As individuals, not quite as much. But it was still more than enough for the Europeans to halt any thoughts of a United States comeback. Jamie Donaldson holed out a putt on No. 15 to close out Keegan Bradley 4-and-3 to clinch the Europeans’ third straight Ryder Cup victory. The hosts finished out the event with an...

Team USA saw some impressive performances from Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, but...
