Sutton says players responsible for Ryder Cup loss

CARY North Carolina (Reuters) - Former American Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton thinks a study committee will not transform his country’s Ryder Cup results until the players start focusing more on their own performances and stop worrying about who the captain is and what he says or does.

In the wake of another defeat two weeks ago by Europe -- the eighth in the past 10 competitions -- and criticism by star player Phil Mickelson of recent captaincies, the PGA of America is forming a task force to study ways of halting the poor record.
