Furyk relishes chance to be 'villain' at Royal Montreal

Every captain has his own personality. A lot of the guys know me very well, and I'm not a rah-rah type of guy. If I acted like that, the guys would look at me funny. I kind of lead more by example. I have played on a lot of Ryder Cup teams and Presidents Cup teams, and I believe the guys understand who I am.

They know how much these events mean to me, and I know it also means a lot to them. I don't think you need to go into the team room and explain how important the event is.

The guys are nervous, they want to play well for our country and play alongside their buddies. It's more about providing a great atmosphere for them, whether that's in the team room or at the hotel, so they can play their best golf.

After I was named captain, everyone talked about the pressure for our team to maintain our winning streak where we've won the last nine editions.

I mean, a team change every year and it's often a different set of 12 players competing on a different golf course.
