America’s incredible collapse in suburban Chicago will send shockwaves across the U.S. after Europe sensationally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
“I don’t have a reaction yet, we are all kind of stunned,” said Love.
“We know what it feels like now from the ’99 Ryder Cup.
“It’s a little bit shocking. We were playing so well, everyone on our team was playing so well, we just didn’t figure it didn’t matter who we sent them out there.
“We put who we thought was our hot players up front and who we thought was our steady players in the back that would get us points and we all thought it would come down to Jason Dufner.
“He played very, very well. We got a couple matches flipped there in the middle that cost us.”
Love has now seen the Ryder Cup’s greatest comebacks from both sides, having been part of the U.S. winning fight back from an identical deficit on home soil at Brookline in 1999.
“Well, it’s exactly the same score,” added Love.
“They came back and won. Give them a lot of credit, they played very, very well.
“They got on a couple of hot streaks the first two days and that kept them in it.
“Guys that started hot for us the first couple of days, did not start hot today and that was tough to swallow.”
