There was a suggestion (a few years back) that once a team had clinched the Cup, the remaining matches on the course be halved. The players nixed that idea (and rightly so) because the original intent of the Ryder Cup was to promote golf between the countries involved. That, and nobody wanted to taint their playing records.
Every player out there has enough pride in themselves to compete to the very end, even if the winning team has already been determined.
