While Luke Donald pushed all the right buttons, Zach Johnson often appeared too tight and too rigid. He looked uncomfortable answering simple questions about his process
Jon Rahm has perfect response to Brooks Koepka's 'like a child' dig at Ryder CupIn a clear effort to curry favor with the away crowd, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, in his opening-ceremony speech, waxed poetic on the eve of the matches Thursday at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club when he heaped praise on Italy for “giving so much’’ to America by way of its immigrants who’ve added country’s culture.
Donald seemed to have more command over his team and seemed more prepared, devising a solid plan for the practice rounds, having his players play three-hole matches to promote a fast start.While Donald pushed all the right buttons, Johnson often appeared too tight and too rigid. He looked uncomfortable answering simple questions about his process, seemingly skittish about being second-guessed. That behavior trickles down to the team room.
Scoff if you like, but often the little things make the difference — especially when you have two teams that are so close in talent. Though he can’t tell his players when and where to play, Johnson, as the captain, sure had the opportunity to try to persuade his guys to get a tournament in before Italy.
