Well I know a lot of people here some were actually in attendance over in Europe in Rome at the Ryder Cup which congratulations I guess a lot of disappointed people in uh so John just tell us why does the USA suck when they go to European soil
Give us all the secrets I don’t know what do I know I I don’t know what’s going on on the other side uh yes you do I really don’t I wish I did give us your opinion what I I mean simply put this time we played better than they did
That’s all I can say that’s a boring answer I don’t know I just for 30 straight years over there I’ll ask you this cuz so much was made about the 30-year drought the Americans more to do with us than it does with them that’s my guess do you think there’s more pressure
Was there more pressure on you guys as a European team being like we got to be the team that doesn’t lose the 30e streak or is it more on the Americans like we got to be the ones that break this I can’t take for the I can’t talk
For the whole team but I certainly felt the pressure um being first out with Terell you are you know you’re kind of put in a position to set pace and and get and blew on the scoreboard uh which likely we did right away but uh it’s I I
Felt it yeah I mean you don’t want to be the team that lost it at home right so there was pressure there was pressure for sure um but it’s also motivational right yeah we had with Jose cha as a Vice Captain and he can tell you all the
Stories in the world because he’s been part of most of those teams that defended that cup at home right and and changed it so he was part of a team that won away for the first time at mfield Village so it’s it’s great to have somebody with his Charisma and his
Stories and his legacy in it and I think uh a lot of little different things combined that make it so special for us that is what made us play the way we did the first two days I heard Jose was unbelievable in the team room hard to
Explain that’s so cool I have a picture on my phone that would tell you right there exactly what it means yeah it’s it’s it’s hard to describe but this and he doesn’t know they took this picture well I told him but he didn’t know when they took the picture Luke made this
I don’t know if there was a video out there this soccer like locker room where we all had our name and I in um a sentence on our native languages uh that some people didn’t even know they had uh like the Irish and the Celtic languages
And all that and um in the middle they had sevy and the last ever shirt he ever wore as a rder cup player and this a picture of of of Oli on Sunday after everything happened he’s just he goes in alone cuz there was a door you could actually just be locked
In by yourself and he just puts his hand on the glass and he’s just face down kind of holding himself like that obviously try to feel that connection with sevy and and that was I mean that tells you everything you need to know awes for somebody like me when I’m
Talking to him and he says certain things like the emotion I have going to that first te is so different it’s it’s just hard to explain that’s cool really hard to explain I hadn’t heard that oh and he’s telling you stories about everybody is just so much fun that’s
Awesome and like hindsight is really easy I feel like to evaluate captains after the fact and question things if you’re on the losing side or praise things if you’re on the winning side but from the jump col I agree on this like Luke Donald seemed to be doing an
Unbelievable job with the European side would you agree with him being just a world class Captain yes uh and I think the whole team wasn’t kidding when we’re all say in two more years cuz he he and his wife Diane absolutely killed it in every aspect of things that was such a
Good writer cup uh that he set that bar extremely high

Great Job boys…. The Euros are humble and the Americans aren't. "Pride before the fall"
