It means more now

It means more now

I do feel like for whatever reason this thing about the Ryder Cup seems to mean a little more in terms of its significance for those European players than the American players. Is that fair? Yeah, I mean that’s a really tough question. You know, I think that perspective comes with having played RDER Cups and understanding what that was. Like if you had asked me that before I played, I would have chose US Open all day long. I mean, honestly, I still, you know, for me, it’s a tossup, honestly. But I do believe when after after playing the Ryder Cup, I understand the intensity of what it means to be not only a Ryder Cup, but to Ryder Cuper, but to be on that team and to have a chance at winning and representing your country. Like, it meant way more than I ever thought it would. And yeah, maybe moving forward, yeah, if I already had a major and all that in under my belt and I would rather do that. Yes, 100%. and I’d rather make the winning putt for the RDER Cup because it’s so intense. I mean, you literally you’re spending every waking hour with these guys. You see what the captains are doing behind the scenes to give you whatever you need to do whatever whatever is possible for you to succeed. And obviously, your country is behind you. And it’s just it’s such a such a huge magnitude of an event that like you don’t really understand it until you play it. And like if I was asked that question before I was on the Ryder Cup team or ever was on the Rder Cup team, I probably would have chosen myself a self victory over winning the Rder Cup. But like I’ll never forget like just we were all right there on the green watching Shane make that putt and it was just like God like I wish that was us so badly like winning that cup.

JJ Spaun thought winning a major was the dream. Then he played in the Ryder Cup and felt the weight of representing his country. Some moments redefine what the game means. ⛳💭
