Love came to the defense of both players Wednesday on "Morning Drive," praising Mickelson's leadership last week at the Presidents Cup and confirming a report that Woods contacted him during the event about a potential assistant captaincy should he not make the Ryder Cup team next year.

"Tiger was really interested in the pairings and what was going on," Love said. "Because of what we did at the task force, because of him being on the Ryder Cup committee, because of him being such a great advisor to me since I was announced (as captain) back in March, he's like, 'What are you guys doing over there? Why are you putting this guy with that guy?'

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I listened to both Chamblee and Love and they both have good points.  I will say I believe Davis Love wouldn't say crap if he had a mouth full of it and Brandel sometimes engages his mouth before he has his brain in gear.  So what Davis said was that as senior players on the team that both Phil and Tiger have been in leadership roles.  If true how has that worked out for us?  Not well if you like winning.  I do agree with Brandel about Tiger not showing any real passion for the Ryder Cup.  Tiger is maybe the best golfer to ever walk the fairways and yet his Ryder cup record sucks.  Something is wrong with that.  While Phil has show passion he has also been disruptive to the team at times by sharing his opinions, not always in concert with the Captain, publicly.  I believe it OK to share your discontent with the leadership with the Captain, but once the decision is made your choice is to march to the tune or leave the band, but not to take your concerns public while a part of the team.  So having made a short story long I voted neither and see I am in a distinct minority. But it is my opinion.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
