Sergio Garcia says the players were to blame for Europes Ryder Cup defeat at Hazeltine and that he is not yet thinking about captaincy. Europe slumped to a 17-11 defeat in Minnesota after failing to recover from the opening morning when they lost all four foursomes matches.But Garcia told Sky Sports News HQ that the players accepted full responsibility for the result, refusing to pass any blame onto captain Darren Clarke. Sergio Garcia says Darren Clarke was not to blame for Europes defeat In the European team, we never criticise our captains. It doesnt matter if they are good or bad - the captain can do everything right - if the players dont play well enough, he said.The Ryder Cup just comes down to playing well that week and making more putts than your opponent and weve been fortunate to do that for a while now and this year, they were a little bit better than us.

European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley has hinted he will consider making changes to the qualification criteria for the team for the next event, while Rory McIlroy bemoaned a system which did not allow Paul Casey on the team, but Garcia insists huge changes are not needed.The important thing is we dont panic now. Weve won eight of the last 11 so were doing some thing right. Maybe a little change here or there, but there shouldnt be major changes because weve been very successful. Garcia and Phil Mickelson shake hands after their epic singles match Garcias singles match with Phil Mickelson was one of the highlights of the weekend, with both players in brilliant form to share the point.It was a great game. Unfortunately it didnt matter, as harsh as that might sound, added the Spaniard. It was a great match, we both made a lot of birdies, made very few mistakes. It was exciting to go birdie after birdie after birdie at each other. Its the sort of match you remember and it was a great half in the end I guess. Europes Sergio Garcia, Danny Willett and Andy Sullivan put on a brave face after the defeat Garcia hopes to enjoy a few more Ryder Cups as a player and believes Europe will be in good hands in 2018, whoever is picked as captain. The next in line are Paul Lawrie, Thomas Bjorn and probably Miguel Angel Jimenez. They are three great choices, three great men. Theyve been part of the Ryder Cup for a long time. At the moment Im not thinking about it. I want to play in many more. Im still in great shape and playing good golf.

Emerson Chelsea Jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Greyson Lambert is still Georgias starting quarterback.At least for the season opener.The Bulldogs announced Thursday that Lambert, a fifth-year senior who started all but one game a year ago, remains the No. 1 quarterback heading into No. 18 Georgias first game against No. 22 North Carolina.Lambert got the nod for Saturdays Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta over Jacob Eason, a touted freshman that Georgia fans are clamoring to see -- especially after the teams uninspiring play at quarterback in 2015.Even though Lambert completed more than 63 percent of his passes and set a school record with just two picks in 256 throws, he did little to help the offense in Georgias biggest games. Most notably, he completed only 10 of 24 passes for 86 yards with an interception in a blowout loss to eventual national champion Alabama.Former coach Mark Richt finally made the ill-fated decision to bench Lambert for the annual showdown against Florida. Third-stringer Faton Bauta was picked off four times by the Gators in what would be the only start of his Georgia career, a 27-3 loss that helped seal Richts fate.Even though Lambert reclaimed the starting job and the Bulldogs went on to finish 10-3, Richt was fired after the final regular-season game. Eason, a native of Lake Stevens, Washington, hinted that he might consider another school if Richt was dumped, but the youngster stuck by his commitment to the Bulldogs -- even graduating from high school early so he could enroll at Georgia before spring practice.New coach Kirby Smart had declined earlier in the week to name a starter, only saying that junior Brice Ramsey was no longer in the running. Both Lambert and Eason have been working with the first team and it seems only a matter of time before Eason is given the job.Smart insisted he would have no problem going with a freshman at the most crucial position on the field.Were going to play the guy who gives us the best opportunity to win, Smart said. Weve stood firm on that the whole way through and whoever that is -- I have no reservations aboout a guys age.ddddddddddddIf youre old enough to play, then youre old enough to start. If youre good enough to play, then youre good enough to start. It comes down to whats the best opportunity for us. Its not about the age factor.Smart was asked about the possibility of using two quarterbacks.First thing we have to do is figure out whos taking the first snap before we worry about the next guy coming in, he said. Continue getting those guys reps and get both of them ready to play. Thats the plan.Smart has been impressed with Easons play in practice.But in the end, much like his mentor Nick Saban, the new Georgia coach decided to go with more experienced quarterback in the first game.You have to be objective about the whole process, said Smart, who was Alabamas longtime defensive coordinator under Saban. I think thats the hardest part being head coach is analyzing every play. Did the guy do what he was supposed to do to give us a chance to have a successful play? And thats not normal for me, thats not where Ive been before, so now that you delve in that area, you sit there and you try to make the best decision for the team, and thats ultimately what these things come down to.The quarterback situation has been a leading topic on campus during preseason practice.Receiver Terry Godwin said hes had random students asking him for inside information.Last week, I was in class and a guy leaned over to my desk and was like, `Whos going to start at quarterback? Godwin said with a smile.He insisted that all the questions and interest wasnt a distraction to the Bulldogs.We know coach is going to make the right decision to put the best guy back there, Godwin said. Were going to have confidence in him -- whoever it is.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
