The Ryder Cup is the best event in golf for many reasons, and a big one is the winning team’s celebration. The usual inhibition to be good #brand partners and keep things safe is thrown out the window to celebrate in a way an NBA team might after winning the title. We saw this with Europe in 2014 in a big way, and the USA did its part during a hilarious post-win press conference.

The highlight probably came when a tuned up Dustin Johnson decided to just start popping bottles while others were speaking so they could keep the party going. Davis Love III also joined in, serving as a cue for Phil Mickelson to wind down his answers. It was incredibly entertaining and juuuuuuust a bit less tense than that unforgettable loser’s press conference of 2014.
