00:00Here's kind of just kind of a refresher.
00:06We're talking about captain's picks.
00:08We're talking about roster composition.
00:09We're just going through those rosters one more time to let
00:12people know I'm going to go through alphabetically and give
00:15you each of their records as well in this competition.
00:18So you on the American side Keegan Bradley who was a captain's
00:21pick so overall records to two and one Sam Burns also a captain's
00:25pick overall record.
00:27Oh three and two.
00:28Hold on.
00:28Can I stop you there?
00:30Well, that is one that I want to get into later in the show.
00:33We're talking about pairings because I know where you're going
00:35with that.
00:36I'm just going to say that Sam Burns.
00:38I know where you go.
00:39That president's got played way, way, way, way better than that
00:42record. And that is why later in the show.
00:44I want to dig into whether we should be trying some different
00:47pairings and also whether his partner that he took to that
00:51record because both of them were rookies last time out if that
00:54guy's going to be a little more motivated this time around to
00:56kind of turn that ship around.
00:58So continuing down the list Patrick can't lay six three and
01:01Oh Wyndham Clark a rookie in the President's Cup.
01:05Of course played his first team event the senior level at the
01:07Ryder Cup last year.
01:09Tony Finau captain's pick three two and three lifetime Brian
01:13Harman another captain's pick who is a rookie this year, but
01:16obviously again played in the Ryder Cup last year Russell
01:19Henley captain's pick and a rookie in any senior international
01:23competition for the Americans Max Houma captain's pick for
01:26oh and oh and his first time out Quill Hollow last year
01:29despite struggling of late on the tour call Morikawa lifetime
01:33to one and oh Xander Shoffley lifetime six three and oh Scotty
01:37Scheffler lifetime.
01:39Oh three and one and so hit the gala a qualifier and a rookie
01:43on this team.
01:44So, you know to the one that stands out the most the record
01:47for Sam Burns and Scotty Scheffler any other guys on that
01:50list you're surprised by either their their level of experience
01:54their lack of experience their record anything that the pop
01:57to you when you go through that roster list and hear how they
01:59play lifetime in the President's Cup.
02:01Yeah, it's just the if you would have showed me that this
02:04was the team at the beginning of the year.
02:05I would have been surprised by a couple names, but I think
02:09this team in general.
02:10I'm just curious how they're going to gel like from a chemistry
02:13standpoint, you know, you've had you know, such an old guard
02:17that's been a part of so many of these teams, you know, Tiger
02:19Woods Justin Thomas Jordan speed, you know, these have been
02:22the guys have been the leaders and the players that have been
02:24in these rooms year after year.
02:25No, none of those three guys are there this year, you know,
02:29Brooks Koepka Dustin Johnson, like those those are the guys
02:32we've been used to seeing on these teams as well as a Bryson
02:35DeChambeau.
02:36So I just want to see how this team is going to gel and when
02:39I look at just how you know, these teams sometimes the composition
02:45for picks can be made just to see how you know, who does get
02:49along with each other who can play well together, but I think
02:52a guy like Keegan Bradley playing his way onto this team.
02:55He seems to me to be a player that not only can bring the game
02:59but also I think can can bring a little bit of veteran experience
03:03knowing that he's going to be a potential captain.
03:05I think he'll take more of a leadership role on this team
03:08when I think about the best players in the world.
03:10He gets Scottie Shuffler and Xander Shoffley.
03:13They both are kind of you know, I know Scottie's super competitive
03:17and Xander just as a guy that you know, puts the tea in the
03:20ground.
03:20It gets goes and gets the job done, but I think it's nice to
03:23have vocal leaders as well outside of a captain and I think
03:26Keegan Bradley and maybe even an uppercomer like Sam Burns,
03:30you know and Wyndham Clark.
03:31We he's never been, you know, he doesn't hold back in interviews
03:34as well.
03:36So I think that's the part I'm looking forward to the most
03:39besides the golf.
03:40I think the golf will sort itself out.
03:42I think that how this this team is going to gel is going to
03:45determine if they're if they're successful or not.
03:47I really I think the golf is good enough, but are these guys
03:51willing to play for one another and you know rise to the
03:54challenge because I think you know, when you look at the
03:57record, right Charlie, like, you know, the US has been really
03:59successful.
04:00How motivated are they to win?
