Dustin Johnson enjoys elder statesman role to perfection at Ryder Cup | Bryan Armen Graham
The oldest member of the USA team won all five of his matches in the thrashing of Europe
For all the talk of the youth movement that powered USA to a record-breaking victory over Europe at the Ryder Cup – and its first consecutive wins on home soil since 1979 and 1983 – it was the team’s elder statesman who made the biggest individual impact.
Dustin Johnson, the world No 2 and the oldest member of a whose average age is barely 29, became the fifth player to win all five matches in a Ryder Cup – an elite class made up of Arnold Palmer in 1967, Gardner Dickinson in 1967, Larry Nelson in 1979 and Francesco Molinari three years ago.

Ryder Cup: How a united, superior USA trounced Europe
Home side had the better players but Pádraig Harrington didn’t help himself with his wildcards or partnerships
The most fundamental and important, if boring, point. On paper, USA had the stronger Ryder Cup team by a considerable margin. If they played to their full potential, Europe would not have enough strength in depth to compete with them. And so it proved; there was not a single failure in the home team, justifying their heavy favouritism before a ball was struck. Sport would be a terribly dull place if expected outcomes based on talent level was the outcome all the time but in this case it was precisely what happened. Every USA player returned at least a point, three Europeans won none.
