you’re if you if you’d have been told a year ago when you accepted the job that at this point you’d be number seven in the world would that have surprised you well not not I don’t know i I it’s the lowest I’ve ever been in the world uh you know when they called me and told me that I was being the RDER Cup captain they the f the first thing they said was “We want you to be the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1962.” And my head was spinning i didn’t know what they were talking about but I they knew that that was a possibility and that we would have things in place for that but you know I’m always trying to be the best that I can be and I I feel like I’m playing the best golf of my career right now and you know year ago I don’t know if I would have thought I’d be seventh in the world but I certainly thought I’d be you know contending in tournaments well when the the the PJ of America called me um and uh Zach Johnson was on the call and um Seth Wah was the person who called me and he mentioned that he he wanted me to be because when I get the call I’m you know I’m thinking I I really want to be on the team and he he first thing he said was we want you to be first playing captain Palmer which is a a heavy burden but um you know and I’m also fortunate If Tiger or Phil or these guys got a captaincy at my age they would have done it the same way

I have more respect for this guy every time i hear him.
Class act
If he doesn't make it by points, is he able to choose himself as a captain's pick?
Two wins in a row for Srixon guys
The part about telling him they want him to be the first playing captain since Arnie kinda gave me chills.
I love Keegan but his actions when he beat Fleetwood, kinda has tarnished his image. Win with class, watch Payne Stewart when he beat Mickelson.
USA a royal screw up

Can’t stand this guy . He acts like a spoilt kid , hope he gets what’s coming to him after his unprofessional last round with fleetwood . Behaved like an idiot for the world to see . Fleetwood was a class act and a good person
I have mad respect for your game! BUT if you play and it gets in the way of you being THE CAPTAIN then you look like a fool. If you play and win the everything you are BADASS
Poor choice for a Ryder Cup Captain
“There would be things in place for that”? What is that supposed to mean?
Is he really 7th though?
Mr Size 6 kids shoes can come back to earth later this week. But LOL playing Captain. Get over yourself dude haha
Let's go Captain. 🇺🇲
His loyalty to his caddy after that Spaniard tried to interfere speaks volume to his character
Great win, Keegan. Poor Tommy Fleetwood. I think unfortunately he choked.
Raymond Floyd was a playing captiaon in 91
All those players gone to LIV of course Keegan knows
A joke right ?
Baller!
I can't see the U.S. winning. I'm not sure why he's captain especially when Tiger and Phil has never been captain.
This Ryder Cup especially being at Bethpage Black would’ve likely been Phil’s to captain, had he not run off to LIV. Why didn’t Tiger take it? I read some stuff but don’t remember exactly why he turned it down.
Didn't like the celebration or the spitting.
