TEAM, OF MAKING US AWARE OF THAT AND MAKING US EXCITED ABOUT WHAT’S TO COME, AND, YEAH, IT’S JUST, WE HAVE A OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL, AND I THINK WE’RE ALL, WE HAVE 12 GUYS WHO ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. >> WELL, POLLY, WITHOUT REVEALING STATE SECRETS, AS YOU ARE AN ADVISER, JUST CURIOUS, YOU WORKED AS WELL AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY HOPE FOR IT TO WORK IN ROME. MIGHT LUKE DONALD CHANGE IT UP, AND, IF SO, WHY? >> SO, YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK, ON ONE HAND, YOU’VE GOT TRIED, TRUSTED, PROVEN PARTNERSHIPS THAT WORK SO WELL IN ROME. AND THERE’S A STRONG ARGUMENT YOU COULD SAY, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO MESS WITH THAT? THEY’RE OBVIOUSLY PROVEN. WE STRUGGLED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS TO GET A REAL GOOD PARTNER FOR RORY McILROY. WE OBVIOUSLY FOUND ONE IN ROME IN TERMS OF THE FOURSOMES WITH TOMMY. WHY WOULD YOU SWAP THAT UP? AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU, WE ARE DEALING WITH IS AWAY MATCH, DEFINITELY, DIFFERENTLY THAN WE HAVE DONE BEFORE. AND JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WORKS AT HOME DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN IT WORKS AWAY. SO LUKE IS AWARE OF THAT. NOW, THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE DISMISS EVERYTHING WE’VE DONE BEFORE. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE KEY IS, IS LUKE GOING TO BE PREDICTABLE AND DO WHAT WE EXPECTED TO DO BASED ON WHAT HAPPENED IN ROME, OR IS HE GOING TO BE A BIT OF A CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS AND THROW UP SOME OF THESE PARTNERSHIPS? AND WE MADE DO THAT BECAUSE OF TWO THINGS. A, FOUR MOVES. PLAYERS ARE NOT THE SAME QUALITY THAT THEY WERE TWO YEARS AGO. SOME ARE PLAYING A LITTLE BIT BETTER, SOME ARE PLAYING A LITTLE BIT WORSE. PLAYERS DON’T, IT’S NOT THAT EVEN KEEL. THEY DON’T HAVE EXACT WITH THE SAME SKILL SETS. THAT’S THE FIRST THING. THE SECOND THING, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS. SECOND THING IS THE GOLF COURSE ITSELF. BETHPAGE IS DIFFERENT. IT’S NOT SET UP QUITE CLEARLY. IN ROME BETWEEN IRON PLACE, PLAY THESE HOLDEN DRIVERS AND PUTTERS HIT OVER HERE. NOW IT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT HERE IN BETHPAGE. EDOARDO MOLINARI, OUR STAFF GUY BEHIND THE SCENES, DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN, IN ROME. OBVIOUSLY HE’S INVOLVED AGAIN HERE NOW. HE IS AWARE OF ALL OF THAT, AND HE’S GOT SOME, SOME IDEAS THAT HE’S PUT FORWARD WITH LUKE SO THE QUESTION IS, DOES HE STICK, OR DOES HE TWIST? >> YEAH. I CERTAINLY DON’T WANT YOU TO REVEAL ANY STATE SECRETS, BUT I THINK IT’S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY HE IS GOING TO LEAD WITH HIS STRENGTH. YOU KNOW, HE’S GOING TO FIND SOME GUYS OUT THERE WHO CAN FADED FOR THE LEFT TO RIGHT HOLES, FIND SOME GUYS OUT THERE WHO DRAW IT COMFORTABLY. THEY’LL BE TEEING OFF ON THE RIGHT LENTILS. WE’LL GET MORE TO THAT IN A MINUTE. HE’S GOING TO TRY TO MATCH US GREAT IRON PLAYERS. I MEAN, TYPICALLY, THE THOUGHT IS IN FOURSOMES IS THAT YOU PUT YOUR BEST BALL STRIKERS OUT THERE. YOU PUT YOUR BEST IRON PLAYERS OUT THERE. AND I, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE’LL SING A SURPRISE OR TWO. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK IT’S PROBABLY SAFE TO SAY WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIS BEST IRON PLAYERS GOING OUT THERE, AND WILL SEE A LOT OF THE SAME THEMES THAT WE’VE SEEN. >> WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME IF WE HAD ONE OR TWO — BUT THERE’S BEEN ONE POINT AS WELL, BRANDL, THAT, YOU KNOW, NOW IF IT WAS BUILDING UP, THAT THIS FIRST GAME IN THE FIRST SESSION IS SO IMPORTANT, THIS FOURTH MORNING, YOU GOT TO GET A LEAD, AND IF YOU DON’T, YOU’RE IN TROUBLE. WELL, WHEN I WAS CAPTAIN, WE LOST THE FIRST SESSION. 18, WE LOST THE SESSION 3-1, VERY NEARLY 4-0. WE WERE ON OUR NEEDS. SO IT’S NOT THE BE ALL AND ALL. IF YOU DON’T COME OUT OF THE BLOCKS QUICK. SO THE FIRST SESSION, OF COURSE, IS IMPORTANT. IT’S A GREAT CHANCE TO GET AHEAD. BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO DETERMINE THE WINNING. >> BUT IT HAS BEEN A GREAT PREDICTOR OF WHO’S GOING TO WIN. IT’S BEEN A GREAT PREDICTOR FOR SURE. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT. AT FIRST, I MEAN, JUST IN GENERAL, I, I THINK IT, I, I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE THAT YOU CANNOT OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF FOURSOMES, BECAUSE IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT POINTS ON THE BOARD. I THINK IT SPEAKS TO THE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THE PLAYERS, THE CAPTAIN, THE CAPTAIN HAS IN THE PLAYERS. AND IT’S ALSO ABOUT BLENDING PERSONALITIES. IT’S ABOUT BLENDING GAMES. IT’S ABOUT LETTING WOMEN. IT’S ABOUT LENDING STRATEGY AND PUTTING ALL THAT TOGETHER. IT THE MOST DIFFICULT OF THE SESSION. WOULDN’T YOU AGREE? >> TODD JUST TOLD US, POSSIBILITY, LOOK FOR FOURSOMES. MAYBE FIRST UP. BRYSON AND JUSTIN THOMAS. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF IT? >> THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU IN ANY WAY? >> YEAH, LOOK, I MEAN, I’D BE SURPRISED IF BRYSON DIDN’T PLAY ALL FIVE MATCHES. AND I’LL SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS GOLF COURSE IS NOT A MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP SET UP. THE FAIRWAYS HAVE BEEN WIDENED. THE ROUGH HAS BEEN CUT. IT’S GOING TO BE SOFT. BRYSON IS, IT MAY WELL BE, AND AGAIN, THE DATA IS HARD TO FIND, BUT IF YOU GO LOOK AND YOU STACK UP, THE BEST DRIVER ON THIS FIELD LIKELY IS NOT SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. IT LIKELY IS NOT JON RAHM. IT IS LIKELY BRYSON TO SAMBO. AND YOU’VE GOT ALL THESE LEFT TO RIGHT HOLES OUT THERE, 24, SIX, 12, 16. WHAT WOULD SURPRISE ME IF BRYSON TO GET OFF THE FIRST ON ONE FOR SURE, BECAUSE IF YOU, IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE ODD HOLES, ONE, FIVE, SEVEN, AND 13, THEY’RE LEFT TO RIGHT. MAYBE HE GETS OUT THERE WITH JUSTIN THOMAS, YOU KNOW? I WOULD PUT BRYSON WITH BEN GRIFFIN AS WELL. I WOULD PUT BRYSON WITH CAMERON YOUNG. BUT, YOU KNOW, HE DOES HAVE THE LUXURY OF, OF, OF ALL THAT LENGTH. IF WE’RE LOOKING AT THE IMPORTANCE, GOING BACK TO 2014, OF THE FOURSOMES, AND YOU KNOW THAT LINE, THAT GREAT LINE IN GLADIATOR, WHEN THE CROWD, WHEN YOUR FREEDOM, WHERE YOU COULD PUT A LITTLE TWIST ON THAT, SAY, WIN THE FOURSOMES AND WHEN THE RYDER CUP. BACK TO 2014, AND YOU LOOK AT THE FOURSOMES, OF COURSE, OPENED UP WITH FOUR BALL, THE VERY NEXT SESSION, THEY, THEY, THEY BOTH RACED THE UNITED STATES. AND YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING HAPPEN IN 2023, WHEREAS EUROPE WAS 4-0 AFTER THE FIRST SESSION. THE ONLY WINNING TEAM ON THE U.S. SIDE IN FOURSOMES WAS MAX HOMA, BRIAN HARMON. AND THEY’RE NOT HERE, YOU KNOW? THEIR FORM HAS FALLEN OFF A LITTLE BIT, SO THEY’RE NOT HERE. SO YOU SEE THE ADVANTAGE THAT YOU GET IN FOURSOMES, AND IT JUST SPEAKS THAT YOU GET TO GO TO THAT WELL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE RYDER CUP, PAUL. >> I MEAN, THAT GRAPHIC THERE SPOKE EXACTLY TO THE POINT THAT YOU MAKE. FOURSOMES ULTIMATE SHOT IS THE MOST VOLATILE OF THE THREE. IT’S WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE THROWN OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE. IN THE FOUR BALL, THEY’RE PLAYING THE GOLF COURSE ON THEIR OWN IN THEIR OWN TERMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME — SOMETIMES NOT USING THE BALL THAT THEY NORMALLY USE. SO, THE PLAYERS ARE OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE, AND THAT’S WHY YOU SEE A BIT OF VOLATILITY AND, AND THAT POINT THAT YOU MADE THERE, THE TEAM THAT WINS THE FORSAN SESSIONS OVER THE TWO DAYS GENERALLY GOES ON TO WIN THE RYDER CUP. THAT’S THE DIFFERENTIATOR BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS, GENERALLY, IS THE FOURSOMES. GOING BACK TO YOUR POINT ABOUT BRYSON, RICH, AND HOW THEY’RE GOING TO COME OUT. MY FEELING, AND WE JUST SAW IT IN THE SPEECH THERE, KEEGAN IS A VERY PASSIONATE GUY. HE’S A VERY PROUD AMERICAN. HE’S GOING TO LEAN INTO THAT STRONGLY THAT HE’S GOT NEW YORK ROOTS. HE’S GOING TO LEAN INTO THAT STRONGLY. HE’S AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOME CROWD. HE’S GOING TO LEAN INTO THAT STRONGLY. SO WHEN YOU PUT ALL OF THOSE THERE TOGETHER, HE’S A HIGH- ENERGY GUY. HE’S GOING TO GO FOR HIGH- ENERGY IN THAT FIRST GAME. HE’S NOT GOING TO SOFTLY GO INTO THIS. >> SO THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU, THOMAS AND DECHAMBEAU. >> I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THOMAS, BUT I’M CERTAINLY SEEING DECHAMBEAU IN THAT FIRST GAME. I SEE HIM COMING OUT OF THE BLOCKS FAST WITH HIGH ENERGY, GETTING BACKGROUND GOING, AND REALLY KNOCKING THE ROOF OFF THIS PLACE. >> DO YOU LIKE THAT, IF YOU’RE EUROPE? >> WELL, I, I THINK THAT’S THE RISK. >> WELL — >> A BIG RISK. >> HE IS, HE’S NOT, HE’S NOT TIGER AND PHIL IN 2004. I MEAN, THAT WAS A MASSIVE BALLOON THERE THAT WAS READY TO BE SHOT DOWN, AND WE CERTAINLY SAW THE AMERICAN TEAM TAKING THEM OUT IN THAT FIRST MORNING. BUT, YEAH, I MEAN, HE HAS SOMETHING THERE. I MEAN, THE GUYS GOING UP AGAINST HIM. DON’T BE AFRAID. DON’T WORRY. >> THE LOUDEST, THE LOUDEST CHEERS FOR THE USA WHEN KEEGAN WAS INTRODUCING HIS TEAM WERE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, WERE CAMERON YOUNG, AND WERE BRYSON TO SAMBO. SO LOOK, MAYBE IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME. BUT IT ALSO IS A RISK, YOU KNOW? IF BRYSON GETS OUT THERE — >> WOULD YOU PUT SCOTTY OUT FIRST, THEN? YOU PUT SCOTTY AND HENLEY OUT FIRST? >> I PUT SCOTTY AND HADLEY OUT FIRST. I PROBABLY SAVED HIM FOR LAST, ALTHOUGH THAT DIDN’T WORK OUT IN ROME. BUT AGAIN — PLAYING AWAY, PLAYING AWAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN PLAYING AT HOME. SO EVEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, TOMMY FLEETWOOD, AND HE’S GOT THIS GREAT RECORD IN THE RYDER CUP. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE DID WHEN HE PLAYED ON FOREIGN SOIL, IT WASN’T NEAR AS GOOD. DIDN’T WIN A SINGLE POINT BACK IN 2021. SO THERE MIGHT BE A CHANGE. BUT JUST TRYING TO PROGNOSTICATE AND PUT SOME TEENS OUT THERE, TRY TO PUT SOME TEENS OUT FOR THE UNITED DATES, AND GENERALLY, YOU’RE GOING TO LEAD WITH STRENGTH, BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT FIRST MATCH OF THE FIRST SESSION. WHEN IT’S BEEN A WIN, IT HAS PREDICTED THE WINNER OF THE RYDER CUP 68% OF THE TIME. SO THIS IS, YOU KNOW, JUST A, YOU KNOW, GIVING YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THE U.S. TEAM. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, RUSSELL HENLEY. I THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY PLAYED TOGETHER ALL THREE PRACTICE ROUNDS. McELROY AND FLEETWOOD WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME IF THEY WENT RIGHT OUT THERE, PUT THEM RIGHT OUT THERE. I MEAN, THEY BLEND SO WELL TOGETHER. WITH THE DRAWS OF McILROY, FLEETWOOD CAN WORK IN ANY DIRECTION. BRYSON TO SHAMBLE AGAIN. IT’S SUCH BEAUTIFUL DRAWS. BEN GRIFFIN, BEAUTIFUL FADE. BEN GRIFFIN, MARVELOUS IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME. AND WE’LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY BRYSON TO SAMBO’S IRON GAME ISN’T THAT GOOD. I THINK WE SHOULD GET INTO THAT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL HERE IN A MINUTE. AGAIN, RAHM, WE’LL GO BACK TO SEE HIM OFF OF ONE. HATTON AND WORK IN EITHER DIRECTION. I MEAN, JUST A BEAUTIFUL BALL STRIKER. LOOK, I SEEN JUSTIN THOMAS AND CAMERON YOUNG OUT THERE GOING AT IT. IT’S IMPORTANT, I THINK, WITH FOUR ROOKIES, AND PAUL, YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS. YOU DO WANT TO GET YOUR ROOKIES OUT THERE ALL PLAYING A DAY ONE. SO YOU GOT TO GET, I THINK, TWO ROOKIES IN THE FIRST SESSION, AND YOU’VE DONE THAT WITH BEN GRIFFIN, AND YOU’VE DONE THAT WITH CAMERON YOUNG. I THINK THAT THE PUT IN. CANTLAY, SCHAUFFELE, LOOK, I MEAN, TRINITY IS NOT QUITE PLAYING AS WELL AS HE WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE DRIVER MIGHT A LITTLE BIT IN QUESTION. AGAIN, HE DRAWS AND CANTLAY CONVEYED IT. LARRY, FITZPATRICK. THAT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. LOWRY PLAYED WITH STRAKA IN 2023, BUT STRAKA, FOR PERSONAL REASONS, GOT SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND FAMILY, HASN’T BEEN PLAYING AS WELL. HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING’S FINE AT HOME , AND IS HAD’S RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE AND HIS ‘S RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. BUT FITZPATRICK, HIS MOST RECENT FORM HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. AND, OF COURSE, AGAIN, SCHAUFFELE AND HOVLAND HAVE WON THIS YEAR. ALMOST WON A MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR. THEIR VEINS ARE NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS THEY WERE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT LISTEN. I KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH THE TEAM. YOU KNOW THE PAIRINGS. I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO GIVE AWAY STATE SECRETS. BUT — I UNDERSTAND. BUT WOULD YOU DIFFER WITH ANY OF THOSE, OR HOW COULD YOU ARGUE FOR OR AGAINST THE TEAM? >> IT’S HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST THEM. YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS FELT WHEN I WAS CAPTAIN, YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR RUMORS WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GROUND AND WHEN YOU’RE A VICE CAPTAIN AS WELL. YOU HEAR RUMORS ABOUT WHAT AMERICA, OH, HE’S GOING TO PLAY WITH YOU BUT, AND WHEN YOU GET INTO CHAIR AS THE CAPTAIN, YOU THINK, WHEN YOU HEAR THESE RUMORS, YOU GO, THAT’S NO GOOD TO ME. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT NUMBER THEY’RE PLAYING. IF I KNEW WHAT NUMBER THEY WERE PLAYING, I COULD COUNTER IT. BUT IF YOU’RE GOING TO TELL ME WHO’S PLAYING WITH YOU, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. AND YOU NEVER FIND OUT WHAT NUMBER THEY’RE PLAYING. SO THAT’S ALWAYS THE INTERESTING THING, IS TO FIND OUT WHO MIGHT BE GOING TO GO OUT, AND WHAT NUMBERS THEY’RE GOING TO GO OUT. >> PAUL, YOU KNOW, WITH YOU, WOULD YOU LEAVE IT TO THE PLAYERS TO DECIDE WHO MIGHT BE GOING TO GO OFF ON ONE OR TWO? BECAUSE I DO WANT TO GO INTO SOME OF THESE AERIALS, AND WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS GOLF COURSE. NOW, LEFT TO RIGHT HOLES ARE ONE, FIVE, SEVEN AND 13. LET’S TAKE A LOOK. AND OVER THERE ON THE LEFT, YOU’LL SEE PLAYERS WHO, THEIR BALL FLIGHT PREFERENCES HAVE FADE. SCHEFFLER, MORIKAWA, SPAUN, GRIFFIN, THEY HIT THIS POWER FADES, RIGHT, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. TRY TO GET IT IN THE FAIRWAY. AND THEN SET UP A GREAT IRON PLAY FOR THEIR OPPONENT. AND THAT SETS THEM UP OFF THE FIRST, NOT A PARTICULARLY LONG GOAL. AGAIN, THIS GOLF COURSE OR TO VIEW THIS PLAYERS INTO IT, BUT IT BEGINS TO HAVE SOME BITE, BEGINNING AT THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH IN HERE AT THE FIFTH, 478. YOU’RE TRYING TO HIT A CUT AROUND THAT CORNER, GET IT OUT THERE IN A GOOD SPOT. SO AGAIN, YOU’D LIKE TO AT LEAST IN THEORY, I THINK, MATCH SOME GUYS WHO FADED OFF OF THE TEE BECAUSE OF THE, THE WAY THESE GOLF COURSE PLAYS OUT WITH SO MANY DRAW HOLES AND SO MANY FADE HOLES, JUST LINED UP AT ODDS AND EVENS. AGAIN, THAT’S THE SEVENTH HOLE, 524 YARD PAR FOUR. VERY IMPORTANT, EVEN THOUGH THE ROUGH IS ONLY TWO INCHES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET AROUND THERE. IT IS AN ADVANTAGE TO GET IN THE FAIRWAY. LOOK AT THE DRAW. PLAYERS OVER ON THE LEFT. IMAGINE BRYSON TO SHAMBLE GETTING UP HERE. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, EXCUSE ME, XANDER SCHAUFFELE TURNING AROUND THE CORNER. STRAKA’S NOT SO LONG, BUT LARRY’S COMFORTABLE WORKING IN EITHER DIRECTION. CERTAINLY WITH THE DRAWS THERE. NOT A LONG HOLD HERE AT THE SECOND. THE SIX TICKET AGAIN, ONLY 408. SO SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES HERE TO TURN IT AROUND THE CORNER, GET IT OVER THE BUNKER, AND THEN SET THEIR OPPONENT, NOT THEIR, THEIR PARTNER UP FOR A NICE APPROACH SHOT INTO THE GREEN. GREAT OPPORTUNITY AT THE 12. AGAIN, THIS WAS SUCH A CONTROVERSIAL HOLE. WE GO BACK TO 2002. MY GOODNESS, HOW THE GAME HAS CHANGED SINCE 2002. HERE WE ARE IN 2025, AND THAT BUNKER WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR BRYSON TO SHAMBLE. NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR XANDER SCHAUFFELE. CERTAINLY NOT FOR RORY McILROY. THEY’LL BE ABLE TO TURN IT AROUND THERE. SO I ASK YOU, PAUL, AS A CAPTAIN, DO YOU, DO YOU GET INTO THE STRATEGY OF WHO’S GOING TO TEE OFF ON WHAT HOLE IN THE FOURSOME? >> YEAH. THERE’S A MEETING BETWEEN THE, THE — IN THIS CASE, EDOARDO MOLINARI, WHO WE ALL IMPLICITLY TRUST. PROBABLY THE CADDY AS WELL, AS WELL AS THE PLAYER AND THE CAPTAIN. AND THEY’LL SIT DOWN AND THEY’LL HAVE A PLAN. AND THIS PLAN IS WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE STAGE, BY THE WAY. IT’S NOT SOMETHING THEY’RE DREAMING OF NOW, YOU KNOW? >> WOULD THEY HAVE THIS IN PLAN BEFORE YOU GOT HERE AND PLAY PRACTICE ROUNDS JUST UPON — >> HAD THIS BEFORE WE GOT IN A PRACTICE ROUND. WE HAD ABROAD. TAYLOR’S DOWN AS THE WEEK GOES ON. A BROAD PLAN BEFORE WE GOT THE PLAN TO COME HERE. >> IT SOUNDS THE SAME ON KEEGAN’S PART. >> LISTEN, WE’VE BEEN WORKING FOR TWO YEARS. WE GOT PLANS IN PLACE. >> ONE OF THE THINGS, AND I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT. IS CORDY PEPIN. I REMEMBER, MASTER QUESTION. I WAS A VICE CAPTAIN OF HUNTING IN 2010, HE WAS ASKED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE, HE SAID, ANY ADVICE THAT YOU’VE GOT OVER TWO YEARS, COREY? AND AT THIS STAGE, HAD NOT REALLY COME IN THE WAY IT HAS NOW. AND IT PLAYS EVEN MORE SO NOW THAT ANNA HAS COME IN. AND HE, HE HAD A UNBELIEVABLE ANSWER, AND I’M PRETTY SURE IT WAS BILL BELICHICK HE QUOTED — GETTING THIS ADVICE. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO MAKE THE BIG THING THE BIG THING. IT’S EASY TO GO GRANULAR. IT’S EASY TO GO DOWN RABBIT HOLES, AND YOU LOSE THE WOOD FOR THE TREES, AND YOU LOSE THE BIG PICTURE OF WHAT’S GOING ON. AND AS A CAPTAIN, YOUR JOB IS ALWAYS TO PULL BACK AND LOOK AT BIG PICTURE STUFF. AND YOU CAN GO A LITTLE BIT TOO GRANULAR AND MAKE THE CITIES BASED ON ON THE SMALL GRANULAR THINGS RATHER THAN BIG THINGS. SO IT’S MPORTANT TO HAVE PEOPLE AROUND YOU THAT ARE PULLING YOU INTO THAT BIG, BIG THOUGHT PROCESS. >> WHAT’S, WHAT’S THE BIG THING THIS WEEK? >> THE BIG THING IS DEALING WITH THE CROWD. PERFORMING IN A WAY TERRITORY, YOU KNOW? YOU LOOK AT HOW BADLY WE’VE PERFORMED ON THE ROAD, WE’VE BEEN HAMMERED THREE OF THE LAST FOUR TIMES ON THE ROAD EXCEPT FOR AMERICAN BUT I KNOW BY AN AVERAGE OF SEVEN POINTS. IS NOT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE WERE BEATEN BY AMERICAN TEAM THAT JUST PLAYED UNBELIEVABLE GOLF. IT’S BECAUSE OUR STANDARDS DROPPED. SO WE AS A TEAM HAVE TO FIND A WAY OF PERFORMING BETTER IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I’VE READ, YOU BEGAN PREPARING FOR THAT, WELL, LONG AGO, BUT CERTAINLY IN JANUARY, WHEN YOU HAD THAT COMPETITION — IRELAND AND CONTINENTAL EUROPE. THE WORD IS IS THAT YOU HAVE THE SPEAKERS BLARING, USA, USA, USA WHILE THE PLAYERS WERE TEEING OFF. THE WORD IS THAT YOU HIRED AN AMERICAN A COMEDIAN TO HECKLE THE PLAYERS
