Paul Azinger to Brooks Koepka: If you don't love Ryder Cup, don't play

Paul Azinger's history with the Ryder Cup goes back more than 30 years, and it's hard to find anyone more passionate about the competition, even now in his role as a broadcaster.

So the 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup captain didn't hold back Wednesday when asked about Brooks Koepka, who disclosed in a recent Golf Digest interview that he was frustrated by the way the event takes an individual player away from what he is accustomed to doing at a regular event.

"I'm not sure he loves the Ryder Cup that much, if he doesn't love it he should relinquish his spot and get people there who do love it,'' Azinger said.
