“For all the years we went to the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup together and the times I got to play with him in the same group. Very down to earth, very loyal and the way he’s talked over the years, I’ve noticed that too.
“We have the same feel for the way we see the golf course and the way we read the shot, they’re very similar. I think we’re going to be a great team and look forward to the challenge.”
