And he could hardly speak with emotion when asked what he will bring to the team.
He said: 'I hope I can bring a lot of
energy
and a tsunami of a crowd that's going to be rooting for Team USA.
'This year's no joke. We're tired of it. We're tired of losing.'
The fans are Bethpage Black need no encouragement to be raucous. Sergio Garciawas heckled so badly at the 2002 US Open that he gave the fans the middle finger.

And Xander Schauffele's father said he will boycott the event, saying: 'I'm afraid of what's going to happen in

.'
DeChambeau also revealed the US captain Keegan Bradley left personalised gifts for his team this week.
He said: 'I talked with him briefly, and then he put something in our lockers that was pretty inspirational.'

If you discounted his first round nightmare 78, DeChambeau could well have won at Portrush after he completed scores of 65, 68 and 64.
He was +7 for the first 18 holes, and then -16 for the remaining 54.
DeChambeau said: 'I've been working on myself and how I am and how I act act.
'I had to transition my brain to say, 'Look, I'm going to give it everything I have tomorrow, no matter what happens. I'm going to go full force, attack like it's Sunday of a major championship' — and that's what I did.'

Man Utd consider charging fans £4,000 to reserve season tickets at new stadium – with 20,000 seats saved for hospitality
MANCHESTER UNITED'S new stadium could include 20,000 'prawn sandwich brigade' seats, with the club's owners planning a huge number of VIP and hospitality areas. United legend Roy Keane once famously took aim at the club's match-going home supporters before a Champions League group stage tie against Dynamo Kiev in 2000 - stating they were too busy eating prawn sandwiches rather than creating an atmosphere inside the Theatre of Dreams. 2 Man United fans could pay up to £4k to reserve a season ticket at the new stadium Credit: AFP 2 20,000 seats are set to be reserved for hospitality Credit: Foster + Partners Owners the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe appear to have ignored the former midfielder's rant by considering plans to dramatically increase corporate capacity, to help cover the cost of the £2billion build. Club chiefs have big plans, including hospitality areas on both sides of the halfway line and even pitch side. United are also considering selling long-term season ticket contracts, which could involve paying around £4,000 to secure a season ticket for 15 years or more - the FA uses a similar idea to enable England fans to secure season tickets for a number of years at a time. Officials are also considering bringing in a 'premium season ticket model' that would involve fans paying an additional sum on top of standard season ticket prices, to receive benefits such as a better chance of securing away tickets and access to concert tickets. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL The plans were revealed after United recently invited supporters to take part in discussions about the proposed 100,000-seater super ground they are planning to build near their current home. Club chiefs are also considering an American-style matchday experience, including 360-degree screen bars, a large number of smaller merchandise outlets instead of a single megastore, plus food and drink stalls. They are also looking into plans to allow fans freedom to move around the concourse to meet family and pals before matches. United also told fans that 2031/32 remains the target for the stadium opening.

Ireland legend joins Jacqui Hurley in making quirky prediction for Women's Euros semi from RTE couch
LOUISE Quinn and Jacqui Hurley both said "Viva España" when it came to predicting a winner between Spain and Germany. While that wasn't anything groundbreaking, the manner with which they did so was a bit more creative than the norm as they tapped into each country's respective food culture. 4 Cork native Jacqui is clearly a big fan of paella 4 Louise Quinn also backed the tournament favourites to advance 4 Aitana Bonmatí scored as the World Cup holders look to add another major trophy to their collection Credit: Getty 4 Spain will now play England on Sunday at 5pm Host Jacqui held up a sign that said: "Paella > Schnitzel." Explaining her rationale, she added: "If I was at the game tonight this would be the sign I'd hold up because not only are Spain going to beat Germany but paella is way better than schnitzel." Meanwhile Similarly, she tacked on: "If I was at the game I'd hold this sign up because I think Spain are going to beat Germany." Read More On Irish Football They were proven right in the end though the World Cup holders were taken to extra-time before Aitana Bonmatí The two-time Ballon d'Or winner's near-post strike was the only goal of the game and set up a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final between themselves and England. Nothing could separate the two teams until the 113th minute when substitute Athenea del Castillo sent Bonmatí through on goal. Most read in Football After turning Rebecca Knaak, the midfielder caught Ann-Katrin Berger out of position by finding a small gap at the near post. Spain dominated the ball throughout but Germany were able to break their high press on multiple occasions, with Giovanna Hoffmann misfiring twice and Klara Bühl dragging her early effort wide in the first half. Embarrassing moment Neymar celebrates wildly and breaks corner flag after 'scoring' only to find out ball didn't go in Montse Tomé's side came close to taking the lead on the brink of half-time, with Esther González forcing a brilliant close-range save from Berger after receiving a long ball from Patri Guijarro in the box. Clàudia Pina then challenged the Germany goalkeeper once again just moments later, although Berger was just about able to keep the ball out. Spain's first big opportunity of the second half came when Bonmatí turned past Knaak with the drop of a shoulder before shooting, but her effort was blocked by the outstretched knee of Sophia Kleinherne. Although they struggled in possession throughout, Germany looked dangerous on the break with Bühl especially causing problems for the Spanish back four. CLOSE CALLS The 24-year-old came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock with a free kick from over 25 yards out in the late stages of normal time, but her curled effort narrowly ran past the post. Spain quickly responded, with substitute Salma Paralluelo attempting an audacious backheeled shot just outside the six-yard box which was calmly collected by Berger. The forward then narrowly missed the opportunity to tap-in a low-driven cross from Athenea del Castillo before the final whistle. Bühl came close once again with just a few seconds left to play when her effort from outside the box took a huge deflection off Olga Carmona, looping upwards and forcing Cata Coll into a crucial save on the line. Carlotta Wamser jumped onto the rebound of the goalkeeper's initial save, forcing a huge second block which ultimately took the clash to extra time. Bonmatí's strike fired La Roja to their first-ever competitive win over Germany.
