END OF THE SPECTRUM, THOSE TWO GUYS LIKELY TEAMMATES AT THE RYDER CUP IN SEPTEMBER. NEWS WITH THE ADDENDUM WHERE THE EUROPEAN CAPTAIN LUKE DONALD HAS AGREED TO ALLOW CAPTAIN TO STEP IN IF KEEGAN BRADLEY IS PLAYING. TO BE A PLANE CAPTAIN WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS LATEST DEVELOPMENT? >> I HAVE TO LAUGH. THE UNNECESSARY COMPLICATIONS THAT THE U.S. IS DOING FROM THE MOMENT THEY NAMED KEEGAN BRADLEY CAPTAIN. AT THE TIME I WAS ON YOUR SHOW OR SOME SHOW ON THE GOLF CHANNEL SEEING WHAT HAPPENS IF HE IS PLAYING? THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM AND LOGISTICS WILL BE A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE PLAYING AND CAPTAIN INVOLVE SO MUCH SO YOU CAN’T DO BOTH. JUST LIKE BE A CAPTAIN IN 10 YEARS OR SIX YEARS AND HERE WE ARE AND INSTEAD OF SAYING WE MADE THE DECISION HE’S PLAYING GREAT HE WILL BE ON THE TEAM LET’S GET SOMEONE ELSE, MAYBE HE CAN KEEP THE HONORARY TITLE, BUT LET SOMEBODY ELSE MAKE THE DECISION, NOW WE HAVE THE THING WHERE WE HAVE THE NEW CAPTAIN COMING IN ONLY WHEN KEEGAN IS PLAYING THAN HIS BACK IN THE CAPTAINS CHAIR. THIS WILL NOT GO WELL. AMERICA WILL STILL WIN BUT I’M SAYING IT IS A WILDLY CONTRIVED THING LIKE IF YOU WANT TO CATCH A MOUSE INSTEAD OF USING MOUSE POISON, USING TRAPS, JUST DO THE VERY SIMPLE THING, DON’T OVER COMPLICATE THIS BUT IT IS SOMETHING IN THE AMERICAN DNA TO MAKE IT AS MESSY AS POSSIBLE. >> I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY, HIS TEAM USA STRONGER WITH KEEGAN BRADLEY PLAYING AS PART OF THAT 12 STRONG TEAM? YES OR NO WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I THINK PROBABLY YES, HE WOULD BE A GOOD CAPTAIN, BUT THE GUYS TO STEP IN WOULD BE EQUAL IF NOT BETTER BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCE AND HE IS ONE OF THE 12 GUYS YOU WANT ON THE TEAM, HE IS RANKED 10, NOT INTEGRAL AND A MUST-HAVE PLAYER, BUT GOING DOWN THE LIST HE IS ONE OF THE NEXT GUYS. IF YOU ARE NOT CAPTAIN HE WOULD MAKE THE TEAM. I KNOW YOU SAID YES OR NO, YES. >> BETTER SPORTS STORY MONDAY AFTER THE RYDER CUP AND YOU GET TO WRITE THE ULTIMATE RYDER CUP RECAP, KEEGAN PLANE CAPTAIN LEADS UNITED STATES TO A THRILLING VICTORY OR LUKE DONALD WINS ON THE ROAD BECOMES FIRST TEAM CAPTAIN IN EUROPE TO GO BACK TO BACK IN ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO DO WINNING A ROAD RYDER CUP IN THE UNITED STATES. >> I THINK THE NEXT IMPORTANT RESULT IS GOING TO BE WHEN A ROAD TEAM WINS. FOR ME THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR THE ROAD TEAM WINNING IS THE BETTER STORY BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE ERA WHERE THE HOME TEAM NOT ONLY WINS, BUT BY A LOT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FUN, IT HAS BEEN OVER ON FRIDAY MORNING CONSISTENTLY. THE BETTER STORY IS YOUR WINNING. BACK TO BACK CAPTAIN THING WOULD BE A NICE WRINKLE BUT IT GOES BACK TO CAN THE HOME TEAM LOSE? I’M NOT SO SURE. >> THE ONLY HOME TEAM LOST WAS THE MIRACLE IN THE LAST 20 YEARS WHICH TOOK A THRILLING COMEBACK BY EUROPE SO IT HAS BEEN LOPSIDED FOR THE HOME TEAMS BUT THAT’S THE DRAMA THAT WILL
