Azinger On Medinah's Ryder Setup: Birdie-fest, High Energy

The Chicago Sun-Times' Herb Gould talks to Paul Azinger about the Ryder Cup, Davis Love and the European team and the 2008 Ryder Cup Captain says this about the expected course setup:

‘‘Davis is doing his own thing,’’ Azinger said. ‘‘He’s extremely thorough, very bright and has surrounded himself with good people. My advice to him was to figure out the best way possible to get the players invested in each other.’’

As the host captain, Love has ordered up a Medinah that takes advantage of his long-hitting team, with manageable rough to go with some enticing risk-reward opportunities.

‘‘Davis has it set up so that it’s going to be a birdie-fest,’’ Azinger said. ‘‘It’s going to be high energy. I anticipate an epic Ryder Cup.’’
