I CAN TELL YOU HE HAS A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM AND WILL BRING A LOT OF PASSION AS HE TAKES ON HIS GOOD FRIEND LUKE DONALD, THE CAPTAIN FOR THE EUROPEAN TEAM. >>> WITH THAT, WE SAY HELLO TO A GUY WHO’S NOT THE DUKE OR THE PRINCE, BUT THE KING IN THE QUEEN CITY. THAT’S JOHNSON WAGNER. HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME WITH KEEGAN BRADLEY. >> THERE’S NOT ABOUT ME THAT’S KINGLY. HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH KEEGAN BRADLEY. WE’RE STANDING ON THE 14th HOLE HERE, DRIVABLE PAR FOUR. WE’RE WAITING FOR THE GREEN TO CLEAR IN FRONT. YOU PLAYED A NUMBER OF TRUIST CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE ON THIS GOLF COURSE. WHAT’S YOUR STRATEGY? >> TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THE COURSE IS SO DIFFICULT AND THE LAST THREE ARE SO TOUGH, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE HOLES YOU HAVE TO GET. FOR ME IT’S AN UNCOMFORTABLE TEE SHOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WIND IS OFF THE LEFT. IT’S A TOUGH TEE SHOT FOR ME, BUT I ALWAYS HAVE TO TRY TO HIT A GOOD DRIVE. >> WHEN YOU LAY IT UP — DANIEL’S HITTING. THAT’S WHY WE’RE WHISPERING. >> WE DON’T NEED TO WHISPER. >> HAVE YOU EVER LAID IT UP ON THIS HOLE? >> I HAVE LAID IT UP. THE WEDGE SHOT IS DIFFICULT, BUT THE LAY UP ISN’T EASY EITHER. >> BETTER OFF CHIPPING IT UP THERE. I THOUGHT YOU COULD PLAY A LITTLE DRAW HERE. >> YEAH, BUT ON PAPER — THERE’S CERTAIN TEE SHOTS THAT ARE TOUGHER THAN OTHERS FOR WHATEVER REASON. I DON’T KNOW WHY. IT’S A TOUGH SHOT FOR ME. IT’S ONE I HAVE TO GEAR UP FOR BEFORE THE ROUND. >> WHEN YOU’RE PICKING OUT A TARGET, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? >> WHEN I’M ON THIS TEE, I’M LOOKING AT THAT TREE TO THE RIGHT OF THE 14. IF IT GOES IN THAT BUNKER, IT’S FINE. IT’S NOT GREAT, BUT TRY — >> TRY TO HIT A STRAIGHT SHOT ON THAT LINE. >> HE DRIVES IT PRETTY STRAIGHT. WHERE IS THAT? >> GOOD THING YOU WAITED, DANIEL. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A RANDOM PAIRING TODAY. AS RYDER CUP CAPTAIN, ARE YOU FOCUSSED ON YOUR PLAY OR TAKING NOTES OR PLAYERS? >> THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN PLAYING SO GOOD. THIS IS WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT BEING CAPTAIN. THEY’RE PLAYING SO GOOD. SO PROUD OF BOTH OF THEM. >> HARRIS ENGLISH ON THE TEE, DRIVER IN HAND. >> I LOVE WATCHING HARRIS PLAY. EVERYTHING IS SO PURE. THAT’S THE SPOT RIGHT THERE, HARRIS. >> THAT’S THE SPOT. KEEGAN TALKED ABOUT THIS TREE THAT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIGHT SIDE BUNKER. >> I’M LOOKING FROM THE 14 TO THAT TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN. I REALLY HAVE — WHENEVER I’M HITTING THIS SHOT, I HAVE TO MAKE AN AGGRESSIVE TREE. IT’S EASY TO BAIL OUT RIGHT. MIGHT AS WELL HIT IT IN THE WATER OVER THERE. THIS IS ONE I HAVE TO GET READY FOR. >> RIGHT AT THE GREEN. THIS LOOKS PERFECT. >> BUNKER? >> NO. I THINK IT MAY BE IN THE — >> MAYBE THE BEST SHOT I’VE EVER HIT HERE. >> KEEP GOING. SO YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD GOOD CADDIES. STEVEN HALL, CHAD REYNOLDS AND NOW SCOTTIE VALE. THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN OLDER THAN YOU, MORE VETERAN CADDIES. WHAT ARE THE BEST ATTRIBUTES? >> I’VE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE THESE GUYS AS CADDIES. I’VE ALWAYS HAD WORLD-CLASS CADDIES. WHEN YOU’RE IN THE HUNT OF A BIG EVENT LIKE THIS EVENT, WHEN YOU HAVE A CADDIE THAT’S RIGHT THERE WITH YOU THAT CAN HANDLE THE MOMENT AND PUSH YOU, THAT PUSHES YOU OVER THE EDGE A LOT OF TIMES TO WINNING. >> WELL SAID. SPEAKING OF SCOTTIE VALE, OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS WHEN YOUR PUTTER GETS HOT, YOU HAND IT TO HIM LIKE THAT. WHAT’S THE ORIGIN OF THAT? >> YOU WANT TO HONOR THE PUTTER. WE BOW TO IT AND PRAY IT KEEPS GOING INTO THE HOLE. >> I TALK NASTY TO MY PUTTERS. TO EACH THEIR OWN. >> THAT’S RIGHT. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME RIGHT NOW. YOU HAD A GOOD START ON THE WEST COAST. MAYBE THE FLORIDA SWING WASN’T GREAT. WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? >> THE PUTTING HASN’T BEEN WHAT I’VE HAD OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. I FELT LIKE I HAD A GREAT, POSITIVE WEEK LAST WEEK WITH PHIL KENYAN. WE TWEAKED MY ROUTINE AND LT BETTER OVER THE BALL. FOR ME IT’S IF THE PUTTS ARE GOING IN. >> YOU REINVENTED YOUR PUTTING OVER THE YEAR. YOU’VE SETTLED IN ON THIS STYLE NOW. HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK WE’LL SEE THE BOW. >> WE’RE BOWING. >> YOU HAD THE FIRST RYDER CUP DINNER LAST WEEK. HOW DID THAT GO? >> IT WAS GREAT. AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR WE WANT TO GET THE GUYS TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF, THE CADDIES, THE WIVES AND THE PLAYERS. IT’S FUN TO LOOK IN THE ROOM AND SEE ALL THE PLAYERS THERE. WE DON’T GET MANY CHANCES TO DO THAT. I’M SO PROUD TO REPRESENT THESE GUYS AND BE THEIR CAPTAIN AND JUST GET IN FRONT OF THEM. IT WAS TRULY A DREAM. I NEVER EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. I JUST — LOOK, I HONESTLY TOLD THESE GUYS, I LOOK UP TO EVERY ONE OF THESE GUYS. THE WAY THEY GO ABOUT THEIR CAREER IS SO DIFFERENTLY THAN I DID. THEY’RE ALL FRIENDS. THEY’RE GENUINELY HAPPY FOR EACH OTHER WHEN THEY DO WELL. I WAS A MANIAC. I LOOKED AT EVERYONE LIKE THEY’RE MY OPPONENT. IT’S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO THINK. I LOOK UP TO ALL OF THEM FOR DOING THAT. >> YOU PLAYED HERE AT QUAIL HOLLOW A BUNCH. WHEN YOU GO TO PEBBLE BEACH OR TORREY PINES, WHAT’S DIFFERENT FOR YOU? >> WHEN YOU GET TO A MAJOR, YOU TRY TO LEARN THE COURSE. WE DON’T HAVE THAT STRESS OF LIKE I HAVE TO SEE THE COURSE TWO OR THREE TIMES. THIS IS IL HOLLOW. PINS ARE CLOSER TO THE EDGE, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND DIFFERENT TEES WE DON’T NORMALLY PLAY. >> KEEGAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> JUST ONE SECOND. CAN WE CHECK OUT
