Q. Jim, you have worked hard for a couple of years to get this result. What does it mean to you to be standing here as a winning Presidents Cup captain right now?
JIM FURYK: It's a lot of fun. Tab and I love these events. We love the camaraderie. We've put a lot of heart and soul into it. Ultimately these players were amazing. It was a really good group of 12, an easy bunch. I had great leadership at the top.
They made the captain's job really easy, and these guys played their hearts out this week, and they really played well on the back nine.
We talked about being a dog all week, being the tougher team. I just feel like those back nine holes if you looked at how many holes won and lost, I've got to feel like we kind of owned the back nine this week, and that was the difference.
Q. This wasn't your first experience as a captain. Of course you were in Paris in 2018 for the Ryder Cup. What did you learn that you changed this time around?
JIM FURYK: I said it earlier in the press room; I don't know if I can explain it, but I was ahead of schedule where I was in Paris. I think I was always a half a day ahead on my pairings on being prepared for the next step. What happens at the end of matches, last night we finish up in the dark, everyone is excited, now you've got 45 minutes to put a singles match out. We were already working on that well, well ahead of time, so that 45 minutes, as fast as it went, I felt very prepared going into every match.
I think most of what I took away from '18 is just being a little bit more prepared, being a half a day, a half a step ahead of where I was in '18, and it made me feel more comfortable about the groupings we were putting out.
