The question at Wednesday morning's Ryder Cup press conference was a good one. 'If the Ryder Cup came down to one match on the course to decide it, I suspect if you ask all 24 guys here if they want the ball, they'd say yes. How many of them do you think really mean it?'
Koepka played his way into consideration for the U.S. team despite competing in just four events — the four majors — recognized by the Ryder Cup. He narrowly missed out on automatic qualification, and when Zach Johnson selected him, there was no surprise, only satisfaction. Koepka is the United States' attack dog, and his further answer on the question of the Cup on the line shows why.
"You've got to think you're the best player on the golf course, best player on the team, best player in that current time, and if you don't, then there's something wrong with you," Koepka added."You've always got to believe you're the best and want to be the best and have that drive, and that's what's/ going to put you over the edge."
One of the Ryder Cup's most dramatic elements is its Sunday singles matchup. After a full week of team-building and bonding, players must go out alone with the Cup on the line,"Some guys want to play certain people," Koepka said."I'd love to play Jon , Rory , Vik . I'll play anybody."
