How would I have been as a captain? I would have been organised and I would have been good at chatting to the players - because I do that in my everyday life in one of my companies that manages players and mentors players. I am also quite strict on stuf, I wouldn’t have taken any nonsense and am good at letting staf know how I feel. Right or wrong, it’s the way I think it has to be. I would have enjoyed it, I would have loved it. Some great players get to captain, some don’t - Sandy Lyle never got to. One of our best ever players who won every tournament there was to win. But you can never tell who will be a good captain and a bad captain; if you lose you are a bad captain and if you win you are seen as a good one. I was one of Darren Clarke’s vice-captains in 2016 and I thought he did a tremendous job. He was phenomenal. All the players bought into it but America just played better. Then you have captains who win but haven’t necessarily done a great job.
