KOHLER, Wisconsin : Patrick Cantlay has earned a reputation as being a deep thinker and the American flexed those credentials on Wednesday when he used the card game gin, roulette and mathematics in his bid to explain why Europe dominates the Ryder Cup.

"But you could have a big difference between somebody, maybe a 60-to-40per cent skill level difference, and gin is still chancy enough to where you could play 10 hands and lose six or seven of the hands than someone that's much worse than you skill-wise." "You go to Vegas and you play roulette and the chances are 50/50 but skewed toward the house a little, it could hit red six times in a row, but that's not abnormal.

"The captains are different every year. The players are different every year. The venues are different every year. The weather is different every year," said Cantlay.
