>> WELL, BACK IN 2015 MARIE McILROY, PATRICK REED, GAVE US ONE OF THE GREAT SUNDAY SINGLES. IT WAS DRAMA. THEY WERE JUMPING AROUND. LOWRY HAS PURE ANGER AND PASSION POURING OUT OF HIS EYES. THEY WERE TRASH TALKING. FINGER WAGGING. WE HOPE WE SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT LIKE THAT AT SUNDAY AT BETHPAGE BLACK. RORY NOW, 36. MOST EXPERIENCED PLAYER IN THIS EVENT OF ANYONE. MAKING HIS EIGHTH RYDER CUP APPEARANCE. HE HAS THAT 16-34 OVERALL RECORD HERE AT THE RYDER CUP. PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ASSET THEY COULD HAVE GOING INTO TOMORROW’S OPENING SESSION. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE ONCE CALLED THE RYDER CUP AN EXHIBITION. HIS MENTAL APPRECIATION AND WHAT RUNS, I THINK, THROUGH HIS HEART NOW IS SO DEEP WHEN IT COMES TO THE RYDER CUP AND NOW HE IS 36 YEARS OF AGE. MOST EXPERIENCED PLAYER. HE HAS REALLY EMBRACED THIS ROLE AS A LEADER IN EUROPE . LOOK AT THE WAY HE HAS BEEN WITH HIS TEAMMATES. HE HAS BEEN HELPING MATT FITZPATRICK WITH HIS DOUBLE CROWN WHEN IT CAME TO DOING HIS HAIR AT THE PHOTO SHOOT. >> WHAT IS A DOUBLE CROWN? WE WILL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT OFF AIR. >> HE IS KIND OF LIKE A FATHERLY FIGURE AND HE REALLY, REALLY EMBRACES THAT . >> YES, HE DOES. BUT IT DIDN’T COME TO HIM NATURALLY AS THEY DID. NOT “I AM READY TO GO IN 2010 AND 2012”. IT HAD TO COME TO EXPERIENCE AND WATCHING, YOU KNOW, DEFAULTERS. THE WEST WOODS. ALL THE GUYS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM WHO LIVED AND DIED IT AND THE GUYS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM BEFORE EVEN RORY WAS ON TOUR. YOU KNOW? THE BALL McGINLEYS. THE DARREN CLARKES . EVEN GOING BACK AS FAR AS SAM TORRANCE. IT TAKES A GUY LIKE RORY, WHO IS OBVIOUSLY A GENERATIONAL TALENT AND WHO IS KIND OF — >> HE WAS APPRECIATIVE BUT DIDN’T FEEL THE HONOR INVOLVED. >> EXACTLY. EXACTLY. HE DIDN’T. HE WAS APPRECIATIVE BUT WASN’T GETTING INTO IT. YOU HAVE THOSE PEOPLE AROUND YOU IN EUROPE THAT TAKE YOU BY THE SIDE, TAKE YOU BY THE SIDE, AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS THE WAY WE DO THINGS. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO US. AND WE ARE ALL ONE BIG UNIT, DATING ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHEN EUROPE WAS IN 1979. NOW, HE HAS GOT TO PUT UP BECAUSE HE IS THE UNEQUIVOCAL LEADER OF THIS TEAM, PAIGE. THAT EMOTIONAL HIGH. NOW, HE HAS GOT TO STAND IN FRONT OF THIS NEWER CROWD AND LET THE CLUBS DO HIS TALKING FOR ONE HIS MOUTH WAS DOING. >> IT IS A BIG STATEMENT. HE HAS NOT ONLY SAID ON ONE SIDE OF THE COIN IT IS THE HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT IN SPORTS WINNING IN RYDER CUP. HE THEN DECLARED WE WILL BE THE ONES TO DO IT . AGAIN, AS A HEARTBEAT OF THE TEAM, MORE CONFIDENCE. >> YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. FOR HIM, BACK TO THE POINT OF IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE HE GOES OUT BECAUSE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THAT EMOTIONAL LEADER . THE QUIETING OF THE CROWD EARLY. IF HE WERE TO SUCCEED AND THE FLIPSIDE, THE EMOTIONAL TARGET — >> I WILL BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHERE LUKE PUTS THEM TOMORROW IN THE LINEUP . >> WELL, THAT IS EXACTLY. HE WAS LAST. HE WAS ANCHORED WITH FLEETWOOD IN ROME . >> HE ALSO KNOWS IT CAN BE DONE. HE WAS PART OF THAT VICTORIOUS EUROPEAN TEAM AT THE DYNA IN 2012. SO RORY KNOWS IT TAKES A MIRACLE BUT IT CAN BE DONE FOR EUROPE TO WIN ON U.S. SOIL. LET’S SEND IT DOWN TO TODD LEWIS AND RYAN LADNER. >> SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT THE U.S. TEAM IS DOING RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF ATTENTION IS GOING TO BE ON BRYSON DECHAMBEAU. HE IS CHARISMATIC SOMETIMES. CONTROVERSIAL. YOU COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT RORY. WHISTLING STRAITS, WHEN HE GOT EMOTIONAL AND A POST MATCH INTERVIEW. WHAT HE SAID THERE, HOW MUCH THE EUROPEAN RYDER CUP TEAM MEANT TO HIM. TWO YEARS LATER HE IS TRYING TO PUT A FINGER IN THE CHEST OF JIMBO McKAY AFTER THEN INCIDENT WITH JOE LAKHAWALA. WE ARE GOING TO GO TO BETHPAGE AND WIN ON FOREIGN SOIL. SO HE CAN CREATE SOME BUZZ THINGS HAPPENING AROUND HIM AS WELL. ALL OF THOSE INSTANCES I MENTIONED THOUGH WERE EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP . SO HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE LEADERSHIP OF RORY McILROY IN THE TEAM ROOM? >> YEAH. HE LEAVES WITH HIS PASSION. I THINK A HUGE THEME FOR THIS WEEK. HOW DO YOU FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE FANS, WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE PULLING AGAINST THE EUROPEANS WHILE ALSO BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF? YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN 2016. EVEN WRIGHT RIGHT WOULD ADMIT HE PROBABLY GOT A LITTLE BIT TOO JAZZED AND THAT MAY HAVE AFFECTED HIM IN THAT SUNDAY PERFORMANCE AGAINST PATRICK REED. FAST FORWARD FIVE YEARS LATER. 2021. WET 0-3 IN PARTNER PLAY. NOT WANTING TO BE EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN IT. HOW RORY McILROY AND THE OTHER FIERY PLAYERS RESPOND TAKING HIS LEAD? THAT IS A JON RAHM. THAT IS A BOB MACINTYRE. HOW THOSE PLAYERS COMPORT THEMSELVES AND ENGAGE WITH THE CROWD. AGAIN, FOLLOWING RORY McILROY’S LEAD IS GOING TO BE A BIG QUESTION THIS WEEK. >> IS HE A TARGET FOR THE FANS HERE, RORY McILROY? >> OH, ABSOLUTELY. YOU LOOK AT THE EUROPEAN ROSTER CONSTRUCTION. THEY HAVE A LOT OF BELOVED PLAYERS. ALL THE SUDDEN, A TOMMY FLEETWOOD OR VIKTOR HOVLAND, A LUDVIG ABERG. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE. >> I CAN TELL YOU THIS. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU, HE WAS VERY CONGENIAL. I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING THAT WAS GOING TO STIR THE PUTT . BUT I CAN TELL YOU, BRYSON DECHAMBEAU WANTS TO TARGET RORY McILROY. HE WANTS TO PLAY GUNS RORY McILROY. >> PRESIDENTS CUP STYLE. >> WHO KNOWS. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE? IT IS A RIVALRY. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE RIVALRY BETWEEN RAY McILROY IN BRYSON DECHAMBEAU? >> FEARS. BREWING. SIMMERING. READY FOR SOME SORT OF EXPLOSION, POTENTIALLY, ON RYDER CUP SUNDAY. WHO KNOWS? SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER IS THE UNDISPUTED NUMBER ONE PLAYER IN THE WORLD. BUT SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER DOES NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE RIVALRY. PERSONALITY WISE, WE MAYBE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT WITH JON RAHM. LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN 2022-2023. THE SHIFT TO LIV WITH JON RAHM SORT OF ENDED THAT. FANS ARE FORCED TO PICK A SIDE AND YOU HAVE BRYSON DEFENDERS, AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM, AND YOU HAVE RORY DEFENDERS, AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM. SEEING THEM GO HEAD TO HEAD AGAIN. THE CAPTAINS ARE COLLABORATING. JUST BY LUCK AND HAPPENSTANCE. I THINK EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT IS A LEGIT RIVALRY. IT IS HERE. IT IS GOING TO REMAIN THAT WAY. >> YEAH. I THINK SOMETHING SHIFTED. AT PINEHURST LAST YEAR, BRYSON AND RORY WERE PLAYING IN A MATCH AND SOMEBODY IN THE AUDIENCE SAID, HEY, DO YOU WANT TO GET BACK AT BRYSON WHAT HAPPENED AT PINEHURST? AND BRYSON JOKINGLY SAID, YOU KIND OF DID IT TO YOURSELF,
