Below are highlights from NBC Sports’ media conference call last week. For the full transcript, click here.
Dan Hicks on the Ryder Cup at Bethpage: “We’ve had some good hype leading into so many of them through the years. Kiawah back in ’91, which I was not part of that broadcast, certainly had a vibe, but this one I really think has more pre-match storylines, which has set it up for the greatest one ever. I know that sounds like a hype line, but I really believe it has been set up better than any other Ryder Cup that I can think of…It’s all unfolding into what I think will go down as the wildest, wildest venue in Ryder Cup history.”
Brad Faxon on the rivalry at the Ryder Cup: “I can tell you from the crowds, playing in 2002, there’s nothing quite like a Long Island sports crowd. I’ve been a Red Sox fan my whole life, and seeing the rivalry against the Yankees, I see something like that, this European team and the U.S. Team. There’s a huge rivalry. I love how the Europeans come together, but I also think Scottie Scheffler...it’s incredible how well he’s played.”
Paul McGinley on the European team: “Looking forward to the challenge ahead. We feel we’ve got a very good team. Eleven of the 12 players who were in Rome have made the team again. Experience is obviously going to be important in what would be an electric atmosphere… That’s what we’re anticipating. That’s what we’re getting ready for, and looking forward to it. It’s going to be absolutely terrific.”
Jim “Bones” Mackay: “I would love if things look really close as we head into Sunday, if the two captains, Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald, who are close friends, could find 60 seconds for themselves and for the good of the game, maybe find a way to see that Rory and Scottie play each other in singles on Sunday. I think at a close Ryder Cup that would basically bring the house down in terms of the excitement that everyone sees around the play there on Sunday, and of course, a close competition.”
Smylie Kaufman on potential X-factors for each team: “I would say Ben Griffin from the U.S. side could be a complete X-factor for this team. This guy walks around with confidence. I think he’s a budding star…From the European side, I think Robert MacIntyre. He’s been a player who’s really impressed me throughout this entire year.”
