Intro:

Ryder Cup rookie Jimmy Walker looked ahead on Thursday (September 25th) on the eve of making his debut in the event at Gleneagles.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Walker (asked whether he feels like a rookie):

"No I don't. I've.... I've been playing golf a long time, I've been playing professional golf for a long time. I feel like I've done a lot. I've been on a couple of tours, made some big putts at key times, keeping my card, that type of stuff. So I feel like I've been around a long time. I know this is a new event for me, but I've done a lot, so I don't feel like a rookie, no."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Walker (asked if nerves similar to those he felt while putting to save his tour card will be felt this weekend):

"I'm sure something along the lines this week is going go, rival those feelings and what you feel.... and what I felt then. So yes, I'm sure it will.... you'll have those types of emotions and it might be different. I don't know, I haven't done it, but I do know that, I believe in my preparation and what I've done to get here and that's all that matters."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Walker (on Rickie Fowler and his haircut):

"Rickie's a cool customer, that's what I know, and I like him. I saw his haircut, my wife showed it to me.... I think, I don't know if I saw it or she saw it first on his instagram (social media) feed. So, I was like, 'That's my boy right there.' He's getting after it."
