Rory and I chatted about that a little bit today but I’m proud of the fight that our team showed.”Scheffler was asked about USA captain Keegan Bradley‘s influence and spoke in glowing terms of his team, before choking up as he revealed how they had supported him through his struggled.“Keegan’s been amazing, all our vice-captains have been great. This has been a real special team,” he explained. “It’s been a lot of fun. This week did not go how I anticipated for myself, but these guys picked me up when I needed it last night. We got a great team.”Team Europe wins the Ryder CupTeam USA fought bravely on Sunday and almost pulled off the most unlikely of comebacks, but Europe clung on for a narrow 15-13 victory.Tempers flared in the stands and on the greens, with Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott involved in a clash with European vice-captain Francesco Molinari.He issued a public apology alongside MolinAri before the singles action.Scheffler helped lead a late rally that fell agonizingly shortGettyGettyEurope secured a dramatic victory[/caption]“This guy right here has always been a very sweet spirited man,” Scott said.“We had a heated moment yesterday but what people don’t realise is that by the time we got to the 16th tee, it was over.“Neither one of us want to make the competition about us.“We want to let the players go out there and do their thing.“Obviously, Team Europe is kicking our butts, and hopefully today we can make it a little more equal.“Ultimately I just want to spread love and joy, it’s a great competition, it’s great fun.“I just want to say I’m sorry and I appreciate you.”
