Reed, who has missed out on what would have been a fourth Ryder Cup appearance at Bethpage, also said Europe carry the advantage of having the more closely-knit team.US players plus their captain, Keegan Bradley, will be given $500,000 (£368,300) – $300,000 (£221,000) of which must be donated to charity – for taking on Luke Donald’s Europe. The remaining $200,000 (£147,320) has been labelled a stipend. The topic was largely lost in fevered discussion over whether or not Bradley would pick himself as a player but remains hugely significant.
