Preparation has been fantastic- McDowell

  • Intro:

    Graeme McDowell said on Wednesday (September 24th) that Sir Alex Ferguson's address to the European Ryder Cup team was "very inspiring" and that the current trophy holders are "buzzing".

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Henrik Stenson:

    "No, it's good. We played the full course yesterday and that was, I think, the first time I've played 18 here since 2004 - so it was good to get a full 18 in and get to know the course again. And we play nine today, play the back nine, and the front nine tomorrow. So that should be enough I hope. The rough is thick, you know, on the fairway... fairways and greens as always I guess, but even more so this week."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme McDowell:

    "I mean the build up is kind of long, there's a lot of anticipation until you get to Friday morning, and once the gun goes off, you know, it moves pretty fast this weekend. But, no the preparations have been fantastic. Captain McGinley has ticked all the boxes this week, he's been fully prepared, he's a very intelligent captain and he's doing all the right things so far - having Sir Alex in last night kind of giving us a few words of wisdom, getting a little bit of an insight into the dressing rooms that he used to control was very inspiring. You know, obviously there are a lot of parallels between the preparation for big games and the preparation for, obviously, the Ryder Cup this weekend for us. So it was great and the team are buzzing - and we're all excited and looking forward to it."
