Luke Donald will never forget the moment he first stood on the first tee at a Ryder Cup with a golf club in his hands.
“I think we all know that it’s a big moment,’’ the European captain said two days before the matches are to begin Friday at Marco Simone Country Club. “It certainly was for me. I didn’t hit a very good tee shot my first go-around in 2004. It was a wide right.’’
“These are all professionals. They have all been in big moments and I’m sure they will deal with the moment very well. But it is lot of pressure. I keep telling my guys, ‘You’ve got to embrace it, embrace these moments, embrace these times, because these are the best moments. Enjoy them as much as possible, and then look up into the crowd. They want to see you hit a good shot.’ ’’
The grandstands seem to get larger with more capacity every two years, with about 5,000 azure blue seats this year. “They are gigantic grandstands,’’ Schauffele said. “There aren’t gigantic grandstands at other tournaments, and no one is running to get to the first tee and no one is coming up with songs and chants for each individual player out there.“It’s spectacular, but it just counts as one shot … just the same as like a tap-in or 2-footer. It’s just one tee shot you hit. It’s a special moment. I think you really embrace it and try and get the fans going, and it just makes the experience even better.
