Team spirit a vital ingredient in recipe for success

It goes without saying that the foursomes and fourballs are going to be crucial and it's important that we get off to a good start. If my foursomes partner doesn't play well, it's just as much my fault for not helping him to play well.

Maybe I can't play the shots for him although in foursomes, you can nearly do it. It is important to put him in the right frame of mind and help him play the right way. You can just as easily make him play badly, by not playing to his strengths or not helping him to relax. There are a million ways of putting your partner off in foursomes. And that's the way with the whole team. That's why you need leaders, comedians, all sorts of guys, in the team.
