J.J. Spaun is one of the golfers from whom the American public has high expectations. Although at the beginning of this season, few expected that the famous golfer would even be a part of Keegan Bradley's team, Spaun secured his place in the team with great performances.
At many tournaments this year, he was a dominant figure, attracting the attention of the public who asked Bradley to give him a chance. However, J.J. Spaun managed to do it even without Bradley's invitation, and now he carries a lot of emotions before the start of this prestigious competition.
Spaun spoke to the media about the advice he received regarding the Ryder Cup, and he seems to be aware that every golfer feels nervous at this tournament.
“Best piece of advice? Probably that everyone’s going to be nervous. You know, I feel like I’ve been expressing like the nerves, anxiety of going out there, and they’re like dude, everyone’s nervous, you’re not the only one that’s nervous,” Spaun said as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Debut
Making your debut at such a prestigious competition is certainly not easy, given the enormous pressure and nervousness. However, if he catches the rhythm and is at his level, there is no doubt that the nervousness will disappear and that confidence will grow from moment to moment.
This is the reason why we are eagerly awaiting this year's edition, hoping for exciting duels.
“So it will be, you know, a tough couple holes maybe to start out, who knows, but eventually you’ll get the hang of it and realize you play golf for a living and you’re really good at it and things will settle down and you’ll get comfortable in your own skin.”- he said.
There is no doubt that the highest expectations are focused on Scottie Scheffler, but of course, in competitions like this, it is necessary for the other golfers to be at their peak if the American team is to succeed.
