FLEETWOOD, BILLY HORSCHEL . IN THE FIELD THIS WEEK HE SPOKE WITH THE MEDIA EARLIER TODAY. >> CHANGING AROUND FROM ROME, WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU HAVE A MIX AND MATCH A BIT MORE THIS TIME? >> WELL AGAIN I THINK PLAYERS CHANGE. TWO YEARS SINCE ROME. SO, EXCITED ABOUT THE CONTINUITY AND HAVING A TEAM THAT IS SIMILAR TO ROME. I THINK THAT IS A MASSIVE BENEFIT TO US, BUT PLAYERS CHANGE. JUST, AGAIN, I THINK I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE. LOOK AT SOMEONE LIKE BOB WHO HAS BECOME A MUCH BETTER PLAYER IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, I DIDN’T SEE HIM AS AN OPTION FOR FORCE. POTENTIALLY HE IS AT THIS TIME AROUND, BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE PLAYS THE GAME. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO CONSIDER THOSE THINGS THAT NOT EVERYONE IS PLAYING THE SAME WAY. PEOPLE SHIFT IN, IN PUTTS WHETHER YOU ARE A GOOD DRIVER, APPROACH PLAYER, OR PUTTER. THOSE THINGS MOVE AROUND IN YOUR CAREER, AND SO YOU ADAPT TO THAT. >> WELL YEAH, WE PLAN TO PLAY NINE HOLES ON MONDAY, AND 18 HOLES ON TUESDAY, AND WE WILL GO TO THE CITY FOR A FUN DINNER ON TUESDAY NIGHT. BECAUSE WHAT WE DON’T GET TO GO INTO THE ITY DURING THE WEEK OF THE RYDER CUP. IT’S OBVIOUSLY ON THE DOORSTEP. BUT FAR AWAY, SO, BUSY THAT WEEK. SO IT’S GOING TO EXPERIENCE WHERE WE ARE, THAT NEW YORK KIND OF VIBE. SO BETWEEN THE EVENT, YEAH. SOME PEOPLE WILL STICK IT TOGETHER IN NEW YORK. SOME PEOPLE WILL GO TO WORK WITH THEIR CHURCHES. SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING HOME. IT’S NOT ALL 12 TOGETHER DOING THE SAME THING TOO. YOU DON’T WANT THAT TOGETHER A LOT THIS WEEK IF YOU ARE ALTOGETHER THE NEXT WEEKEND THE WEEK AFTER. MAYBE THAT’S A LITTLE OVERKILL. THERE WILL BE SOME COURSES IN THE NEW YORK AREA, BUT IT’S REALLY UP TO THEM. I TOLD THEM AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT FLYING BACK TO EUROPE AND DEALING WITH JET LAG I DON’T MIND WHAT THEY DO. SO THEY HAVE GOOD PLANS IN PLACE. >> YOU KNOW WHAT’S INTERESTING? ROLL THE BALL OUT THE WAY YOU DID IN 2023, YOU GOT TO THE START FRIDAY MORNING, BUT HE SAID DIFFERENT PLAYERS, MAYBE THEIR GAME IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE. IT’S A DIFFERENT GOLF COURSE, AND YOU CANNOT REST ON YOUR LAURELS. IT’S A DIFFERENT TEAM THEY ARE FACING FOR EXAMPLE. >> HE IS STARTING TO SOUND LIKE KEEGAN BRADLEY. YOU HAVE TO SQUEEZE THESE CAPTAINS’ HENCE TO GET ANYTHING. SAME TEAM DOES NOT EQUAL SAME TACTICS, RIGHT? HENCE THE PUN HE WAS MAKING ABOUT HOW BOB McINTYRE’S GAME HAS CHANGED. HE DOESN’T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LINEUP AND WHO PLAYED WITH WHOM, AND WHO PERFORMED WELL AND ASSUME THAT IS WHAT HE HAS TO MATCH UP AGAINST. HE IS GOING TO MIX THE PLAYERS HE HAS. SO HOW MUCH DO YOU CHANGE IT? YOU WANT SOME SORT OF CHALLENGE TO KEEGAN BRADLEY. EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO WHETHER OR NOT YOUR GUYS MAKE GOOD PUTTS ANYWAY. BUT IN TERMS OF THE PAIRINGS, THAT IS HARDER TO DO FOR LUKE DONALD THAN KEEGAN BRADLEY, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID TWO YEARS AGO. >> I WANT TO BEAT YOU THE WAY WE PLAY. THE LAKERS FAST-BREAK, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SLOW IT DOWN AND GRIND AND PLAY HALF-COURT BASKETBALL AND PLAY DOWN LOW I WILL BEAT YOU IN A HALF-COURT GAME AS WELL. I THINK THAT IS WHAT LUKE DONALD IS SAYING. LAST TIME 6 1/2 TO 11 1/2 WITH THIS STYLE. WE WILL BEAT YOU ON THIS BIG BOY GOLF COURSE AS WELL. HE WANTS TO IMBUE HIS TEAM WITH CONFIDENCE THEY CAN BE ELASTIC, AND NOT BE BOUND TO WHAT HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO, THAT HE CAN MIX AND MATCH, ZIGZAG, HE CAN BEAT YOU IN ANY STYLE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. >> IT’S INTERESTING HE IS DETERMINED HIS GUYS WON’T BE OVERSCHEDULED AS WELL. I MEAN IN THEORY IT’S AN AWAY MATCH FOR EUROPE. REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO TO JOKE ABOUT HOW THE RYDER CUP HAVE TO TEAM LIVED IN IOWA, AND LIKE WINONA? IN REAL TERMS AS IT IS, BUT THE IDEA THEY WILL PLAY SUNDAY NIGHT AND PLAY NINE HOLES MONDAY AND TUESDAY, AND THEN THEY WILL MOSTLY HANG AROUND THE NORTHEAST AFTER THAT. HE DID SAY SOME OF THEM WILL GO HOME. HOME DOESN’T MEAN– HE IS IN ALABAMA, SO A LOT OF THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WITH EACH OTHER, BUT THEY ARE NOT RISKING JET LAG. THEY ARE NOT TRAVELING GREAT DISTANCES. THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO BE READY FOR A PRETTY INTENSE WEEK LONG BEFORE FRIDAY MORNING. >> JUST OUTSIDE WHERE THE MOST INTERNATIONAL CITIES ON THE PLANET. WANT TO SOME GOO
