69 h. ago I was there: Europe’s dramatic Ryder Cup win signed off a strange week

Some extraordinary golf was often overshadowed by the Donald, colourful fans, crazy MCs and tempers flaringI was out by the practice green late afternoon on the Monday of the Ryder Cup, and so was Bryson DeChambeau. He was on his own, signing autographs for the handful of people on the other side of the railings, and there was this one woman leaning over towards him, a bottle blonde, late middle-aged, in a tight white dress.
