Lowest scoring players at Whistling Straits
There is no individual success at the Ryder Cup. Yes, there are the Sunday singles, but the event takes pride in the fact that all of it has to be a team effort. However, alternative conclusions can always be drawn after the end of the event, just to take a glance at who was the best-performing individual.
CBS Reporter Kyle Porter did just that. He did the math and inferred who was the lowest scoring player at Whistling Straits over three days. The conclusion? Well, it was a no-brainer – the only undefeated golfer at Ryder Cup 2020 finished on top.

However, it is incredible to note that Collin Morikawa finished just one stroke behind Dustin Johnson. Morikawa, being a Ryder Cup rookie, displayed no signs of nerves and absolutely made the most of the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Dustin Johnson went 5-0-0 in Ryder Cup 2020 and became just the fifth player in history to achieve this feat in the biennial event. He topped the icing on the cake with a 1UP victory over Paul Casey on Sunday.

The U.S. dominates the list, but it is interesting to note that experienced Ryder Cup campaigners like Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood couldn’t contribute much. Maybe that’s where it went wrong for the Europeans.
