I saw you running down the street full speed. You weren't wearing active wear, so I knew something was amiss (plus you were sprinting like your life depended on it). I was surprised when you suddenly stopped in front of a downtown apartment building and started frantically typing in the keypad. Maybe you were rushing to help a friend who's about to commit suicide I thought, or perhaps OD-ing.

This should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup."
