Zach Johnson is the 2023 Ryder Cup captain for Team USA. And even though it has been only a couple of days since the news broke out, the golf world already can’t stop loving him.

In a new video shared by Johnson on the Ryder Cup USA official page, the captain shares his favorite Ryder Cup moment from over the years.

“My favorite Ryder Cup memory… well, the last time I was a part of…the 2020 Ryder Cup team,” Johnson said as the video began. He explained that he loved being the part of Team USA, which Steve Stricker led. 

Although Johnson was not part of the Ryder Cup Team’s playing squad of 12, he had another important role. He was one of the five vice-captains that Stricker had chosen for 2021; Jim Furyk, Fred Couples, Davis Love III, and Phil Mickelson were the rest of the vice-captains of Team USA. 

Zach Johnson takes pride in their unmatchable points against Team Europe

“I don’t know if I can identify one moment,” the 2023 US Ryder Cup captain said. “I would just summarize it by saying this, 19:9.”

Johnson was talking about the points Team USA won against Team Europe at last year’s tournament. The U.S. team won the competition with a big margin of 19 against Team Europe’s 9.
