The 46-year-old, a six-time member of the USA team, lost his father in a plane crash in 1988 and said: “This is a thrill I never thought I would have and I would love to share it with him.”

“What we have been missing is getting over the nerves of being ready to play on the biggest stage. We’ve just tried too hard and I’ll be trying to get the players as relaxed and freed up as I can. I am a players’ captain and I’m going to get them what they need to be successful. I’m not going to tell the best players in the world how to play golf. I’m going to let them show their talents.”
