00:00So quick takeaways in this is that Keegan Bradley is going to be sitting for the American team and
00:11let's see Sam Burns is going to be sitting for the American team. So that's a little surprising. I
00:18thought we might see Sam being played with Scottie Sheffer, but they must have really loved what they
00:23saw from Henley today. So I assume we'll see maybe Sam do a double session on Saturday. On the other
00:31side, already mentioned Minwoo Lee not playing. Seabass the other one. Nope, Seabass is playing,
00:38which I was a little surprised by that. Tom Kim's not playing. Oh, wow. That's a little surprising.
00:46The one guy, the one guy that gave you juice. I don't understand that at all. Unless you were
00:53like upset somehow by what he did. But I mean, the thing is, like you need you have a and I'm again,
00:58I'm not being disrespectful. You have a limited amount of like top 20 in the world star power on
01:03that team. So like you need those guys to play as many sessions as you possibly can. And you know,
01:09maybe you got to rest Tom Kim somewhere. But that doesn't make any sense to me go down five. Oh,
01:14and the one guy that can give you an emotional spark. You bench him. I don't get I just think
01:18he's so good in in four Sims, they, they, they must just have these pairings. And to me, this
01:24looks like pairings that that weren't changed. I don't think there was any adjustment to their
01:30pairings. Which, to me, that's a mistake. I think that Tom Kim should be playing. I I don't know
01:39exactly from this team who you would take out. I would like to see some strokes gained statistics
01:45to kind of see like who really struggled from the international team. My guess would be CBS
01:51would be the one guy I would say like, put put Tom Kim with Jason Day. I think that would give
01:57Jason Day a bit of a spark just going with somebody that's gonna bring that energy. Yeah.
02:01Corey Connors and Mackenzie Hughes will be, I think a really good four ball team now to think
02:07about just how sharp Corey can be with his irons. I imagine that Corey will play on the odds.
02:12Mackenzie on the evens. We'll see. I think that can come down to how Mackenzie drives
02:17it on the backside with some of those really tough drivable, not drivable holes, I should say,
02:22but trouble up the left. He's got to get up there and hit some good tee balls. But again,
02:28I look at, I look at this and think, man, it's going to be tough for the international team
02:34tomorrow. It's going to be tough and sneaky Russell Henley. You know, this is how you get
02:40your name in the, in the hat for future competitions as a guy that is, I mean, I'll say
02:46it this way. It's your wagon to Scotty. Let's go. If you are the guy that gets Scotty Shepard
02:51playing good match, play golf and stuff like this, you're definitely going to get a look for
02:54the Ryder cup next year, no matter where you're on that points list. So it's a pretty good little
02:58gig. Russell's got this week.
