Freddie: Maybe I'll Get A Shot At Ryder Cup Captaincy?

Asked about his prospects, Fred Couples sounds like he wants the job after Davis Love.

Well, not a great chance.  I mean I still have a chance, but I think being the Presidents Cup captain the first time and probably knowing 80 percent of the players really, really, really well and then being at the last time in Australia and I didn't really know Webb Simpson that well or Bubba Watson, but taking care of them, you know, it sounds easy to say, but you want to win, but by being on all these teams, my goal is to make them feel extremely comfortable, and the Presidents Cup is a little more laid back, but it's still four days of golf, so I don't really understand why anything is different.

But we do well in it.  And I can promise you that when we're there, you know, that's said a lot, that you know, even though we won ten years ago, it's got a little relevancy when you keep winning.  And so our guys enjoy having me around.  And I feel like I'm a guy's guy and if one guy gets something handled this way, another guy can get it that way, and it worked out well.

So maybe in the next two or four years I'll get a shot at it, but they are going to name another Presidents Cup captain here in another month and I know they're all pushing for me to do it again, so I'm all for that.  But obviously I would ‑‑ I think ‑‑ I mean I would love to be a Ryder Cup captain, there's no doubt.
