It's almost impossible to believe, but the U.S. hasn't won a Ryder Cup on foreign soil since 1993.
That's when the Tom Watson-led Americans rallied for a 15-13 victory over Europe at the Belfry in England.
So, what went right for the Americans that year?
For starters, they had plenty of experience.

Of the 12 players, there were just three rookies: John Cook, Lee Janzen and Davis Love III. The other nine players accounted for a combined 30 Ryder Cup appearances. Captain's picks Ray Floyd and Lanny Wadkins had played in seven Ryder Cups apiece.
Six players on that team -- Fred Couples, Tom Kite, Payne Stewart, Davis Love III, Floyd and Wadkins -- would all go on to become World Golf Hall of Famers.
Floyd, the oldest player on the team that week at 51 -- seven years older than his captain -- was tied for the highest U.S. point total at the Belfry, collecting three points in the four matches he played, with a record of 3-1-0.
The combined age of the 12 players on Ryder Cup USA in the 1993 matches was 434, or an average age of just over 36 years old.
In contrast, the 2016 winning Ryder Cup USA team had a combined age of 397, or an average age of 33.
