  • Intro:

    Scotsman Stephen Gallacher looked ahead on Wednesday (September 24th) to making his maiden Ryder Cup appearance on home soil.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Gallacher (on playing in the Ryder Cup):

    "Yes, well it was my lifetime ambition, it was my goal to get here. I'm proud that I'm sitting here, I am very excited and it is a bit surreal, still, because I live so close. But it's one I'm embracing and I'm just trying to use the positive energy and, the crowd's going to be spectacular as well and it's just going to be really entertaining."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Gallacher (on Gleneagles' PGA Centenary Course):

    "The course is perfect, and it's going to be great for viewing, it's going to be great for the.... everything. There's going to be lots of birdies, especially coming down the stretch with a couple of par-fives at the end, so.... the Ryder Cup's all about the drama and the, and the passion and I think you're going to get that this week."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Gallacher (on advice given by his uncle, Bernard Gallacher):

    "Yes, well he's certainly experienced enough. He's played in eight and captained three and viced (captained) two, so.... I spent the week with him when my gran(dmother) was ill, in the hospital, and he was just sort of.... chatting away and basically just giving us good advice. Nothing new that I've had from the five backroom staff or the guys in the team, just, he says, 'You're going to have long, long days. It's all about conserving your energy.' Ultimately just, he wants me to enjoy myself, take a timeout to soak it in and, just be yourself, play your own game."
