On Wednesday, I'm minding my own business on Twitter when I see this tweet from Golf.com Instruction Editor Luke Kerr-Dineen (who is a displaced Brit in the United States, by the way).
Genuinely believe we’re going to look back on this US Ryder Cup team the same way basketball fans remember the ‘92 Olympic team. Dream team. pic.twitter.com/rRrVjw0nF9

It got me thinking. He's kind of right! This U.S. Ryder Cup team is incredible and spans multiple generations. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have been representing the U.S. in international competition since the 1990s. This may be the last time we see them with some game left, playing with young guns like Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler. And that's not even mentioning Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed. So before the Yanks open play against Europe at Le Golf National on Friday, here are comparisons for each 2018 U.S. Ryder Cup player as a 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball player.[YIELDMO]

I guess this makes Xander Schauffele the Isiah Thomas of the group. Or Shaquille O'Neal.
