We should go back to beating the U.K.! It takes an entire continent to handle the U.S.! I agree with Yoda in that the players on the U.S. Tour do not "play" as well for one another as the Euros do. I have heard (from those in the know) that the European Tour has a great deal more comraderie etc. I guess they develop that while enjoying competing with one another on the the runner-up tour in the world! Some say American players are pampered and spoiled, that in turn dampens the competitive drive. When European Tour based players start winning more majors I will buy into that. 2 out of 4 last year was a pretty good start, though!

It was UK and Ireland before Europe joined in the fun not just the UK.
