Intro:

Phil Mickelson gives his thoughts after the USA lose the Ryder Cup to Europe, 16 1/2 - 11 1/2.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Mickelson, USA Ryder Cup player (on what he feels went right when the USA won in Valhalla in 2008)

"Allow us to play our best I think that Paul Azinger did. One was he got everybody invested in the process. He got everybody invested in who they were going to play with, who the picks were going to be, who was going to be in their pod, who -- when they would play, and they had a great leader for each pod. In my case, we had Ray Floyd, and we hung out together and we were all invested in each other's play. We were invested in picking Hunter that week; Anthony Kim and myself and Justin were in a pod, and we were involved on having Hunter be our guy to fill our pod. So we were invested in the process."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Mickelson, USA Ryder Cup player (on denying that he is criticising Tom Watson's captaincy)

"We all do the best that we can and we're all trying our hardest, and I'm just looking back at what gave us the most success. Because we use that same process in The Presidents Cup and we do really well. Unfortunately, we have strayed from a winning formula in 2008 for the last three Ryder Cups, and we need to consider maybe getting back to that formula that helped us play our best."
