Q. How would you characterize your emotions right now as a winning captain for the United States?

STEVE STRICKER: Speechless. Everything about it, these guys all came together. Two weeks ago they came together. Showed me a lot about this group of guys. They all showed up for the practice rounds, all the assistant captains showed up at the practice rounds (tearing up).

They had a mission this week and you could tell, they played great and they came together. I just can't tell you -- I mean, Brooks and Bryson wanted to play together; that's how much it came together. That shows a lot about this whole team.

Q. You and I have been in constant communication since you were named captain years ago. What do you think was the winning formula for you to get this done?

STEVE STRICKER: I don't know, from day one, it was about out-preparing, right, getting the guys here, getting them on the same page. This is a new era for USA golf. They are young. They come with a lot of passion, a lot of energy, a lot of game. They are just so good. So it's exciting to see these guys and exciting for us in Wisconsin to experience this.
