The Ryder Cup is a tournament that carries a huge amount of nervousness and pressure, which is why some of the golfers failed in this tournament. When we talk about golfers who did not excel, the focus is mostly on American golfers who were far from expectations, mostly in the first two days.
The third day looked a little better for them, but it still wasn't enough to win the Ryder Cup trophy.
Xander Schauffele was the bright spot for his team, taking three points from his Ryder Cup matches.
He carried his great form to the Baycurrent Classic, where he won through three rounds, thus sharing his emotions regarding the Ryder Cup experience and the last tournament in an interview with the media.
The 31-year-old looked back on the match with Patrick Cantlay, apologizing to him because he was not at his level.

Xander stresses that the Ry*er Cu*carries enormous pressure not only for him, but for everyone, and sometimes it's really hard to be an important figure in such conditions, filled with tension and strong desire.
Desire for progress
His form this season has not been ideal, although Schauffele wanted to repeat last season. However, a season like this can be a serious motivation for him when he starts in 2026 and gives him a chance to improve things.
