For a second time in some weeks one of the United States leading players in former Masters Champion Zach Johnson says it’s not ‘rocket science’ why Europe has dominated the Ryder Cup.

It was just last month double Major winning John Daly questioned the establishment of a Task Force and stating while contesting the Turkish Airlines Open it was not ‘rocket science’ why Europe has captured eight of the past 10 Ryder Cups.

Now Johnson, who has played on four USA Ryder Cup teams (2006, 2010, 2012 and 2014), has been asked his appraisal of the move by the PGA of America in creating an 11-man task force to appoint a replacement captain for Tom Watson.

“Task Force?  I don’t dislike that there is I guess you would say a committee or Task Force but personally I would love to know specifically what they’re doing,” said Johnson on the eve of this week’s Tiger Woods hosted Hero World Challenge here in Orlando.

Defending Hero World Challenge champion Zach Johnson also said it is not ‘rocket science’ why Europe continues to win the Ryder Cup.

“But that being said, I don’t want to say it’s none of my business, but frankly it’s none of my business.  And the only reason I say that is because I like having individuals that really know what’s going on inside the ropes congregating and hashing things out.

“I think communication needs to be prevalent.  Probably needs to be a priority more so than it has in the past between the entities that really know what’s going on and those that are making decisions.

“If that’s the committee that’s going to start making decisions, well, I think that’s probably not a bad thing.  I just don’t know what they’re going to be doing specifically.

“If it’s about changing the way our team is formed or selected, if it’s changing the way the team is actually ‑‑ not assembled.  What’s the word?  Constructed, meaning assistant captains and captains and that kind of thing, or if there is going to be almost like an expectation set with each captain and associate captain, then that’s fine.

“All that being said, it’s not going to translate into a W immediately or even Ws down the road.  But there are little things along the way that I think can be done to better our team and our chances.  Does that make sense?”

However Johnson was asked if forming a task force in some way becomes a psychological advantage to the Europeans.

“I don’t know.  I don’t have any idea.  Bottom line is this.  Well, two things.  It’s really never as bad as it seems and it’s never as good as it seems,” he said.

“Alongside of that, number two, we’re not that far off.  I mean, we did lose this year.  I felt like ‑‑ excuse me, they won it this year.  They won it this year.  I thought we lost it in 2012.  Were in terrific position in 2012 and we just played poorly as a team on Sunday.  We lost that one.

“Bottom line is we got to play better.  You know, I’m not trying to sugarcoat it.  We got to play better.  I don’t mean it dumb it down any more than that either.  But we’ve got to play better.  They played great.  They played great going into it.

“I thought we had a really good chance of winning just because of the camaraderie and chemistry we had.  More than that, I thought everybody seemed pretty confident.

“You look at the guys that played well for them that week, they were playing great going into it.  As a result, they won.  Like I said, I don’t think we’re that far off.

“So my guess is that Task Force is going to try to take all the information, brainstorm, condense it down, and try to simplify things.

“At least that’s my hope.  It’s not rocket science.  The guys still got to play.  It’s one week.  I don’t buy into the fact ‑ and I know you guys don’t either ‑ that we’re not close as a team.  If anything, we’re ‑‑ well, I don’t know.  I can’t compare ourselves with that team.  But we are very close.

“It’s not like we don’t want to win for each other.  If anything, we probably want to win too much for each other.”
