Golf – Ryder Cup – Steve Stricker, Team USA captain: “My players are having fun and it’s nice to see”

More than the domination of the Americans, who place them in an ideal situation before the singles (11-5), Steve Stricker underlines the exceptional atmosphere that reigns within his team and is not foreign to his walk in the park. Steve Stricker, Team USA captain after Saturday: “I love the way the guys play and the energy they put in on a regular, daily basis. It has been said from the start how easy they are and how connected to each other, and it shows. They play with released. They are having fun and it’s nice to see. It’s not easy to have expectations. We have an idea of ​​what they are going to achieve and I am sure that they also have an idea of ​​what they are going to do. But I feel so good with these 12 guys, really. They all play perfectly, they do it right, but the most important thing is that we just had fun this week being all together. I think it shows on the course. »Read also Team USA leads 11-5 (about the score) Between 11-5 and 10-6, there is a big difference in my mind. During this afternoon’s session (Saturday), I think I told my wife Nicki and also to the vice-captains that if we managed to draw these four balls it would be a good result. It was good that Bryson (DeChambeau) and Scheffler reversed their game at the end, it was a big fight. It was tight but it was important to score these two points. (about the miracle of Medinah and the rise of the Europeans led 10-6 on Sunday morning) We have talked about it a lot. I think we learned a lot from 2012. What I can say is that we probably did not do a good job in choosing the order of singles on Sunday. Not that we thought it was taken for granted, but we could have done better. It was in our heads today (Saturday). We thought about our past mistakes, to try not to reproduce them and that was the subject of our discussions. It’s hard to say if we made the right choices or not, but I like the situation we find ourselves in. “Read also Rahm:” I want to believe that everything will work out “
