It makes him feel young. Phil has had a star crossed career in the Ryder Cup. He stepped up in a huge way. Started to change the view of his Ryder Cup career. This was a career changing week for Phil Mickelson in terms of how he has been a Ryder Cup performer for the United States over the last 20 some years. The teammates were all invested in one another this time much like the Europeans. 
Damon said that he was able to text with Patrick Reed's Swing Coach Josh Gregory during the Ryder Cup match and he said he was born for the Ryder Cup. .He loves the atmosphere wants the ball in his hands in the waning seconds. He likes to show off and is confrontational and wants to beat the other guy.  Had some trouble at Georgia and had to transfer. He went to Augusta State and battled the likes Peter Uihlein and Harris English and more heralded players and beat them. He's continue to carry that chip on his shoulders and it has made him a great player on the PGA Tour and it makes him an absolute beast in the Ryder Cup.
Holly talks with Damon about the tremendous tribute to Arnold Palmer during the Ryder Cup. The memorial service yesterday at Latrobe, Pennsylvania. It's been an emotional week and a half around the Golf Channel.
