CARMEL, Ind. -- Ricky Elliott always hoped he could be in the Ryder Cup, the dream of any aspiring golfer from Portrush in Northern Ireland.He finally got there as a caddie, which is not unusual.Except that hell be working for the other team.Ill be getting plenty of good needle, but its all in good fun, said Elliott, the caddie for American player Brooks Koepka for the last three years. Whenever Im out here, I stay with Kenny (Comboy), Billy (Foster) and all the other European caddies because we have the same things in common. I still am European. When it comes down to the matches, might they be a little wary in the team meeting? You just dont know. But its all about getting the cup back to this side of the pond.And Im working for the American team.The Ryder Cup is all about the flag, Europe against the United States, three days of frenetic golf and fanatical cheering.The PGA of America only began keeping records of Ryder Cup caddies in 1995, and no European caddie worked for the American team in the last two decades. The last European caddie to work for a U.S. player might have been Brian Bellenger of England, who caddied for Bill Rogers in 1981 at The Belfry. Bellenger, who died last year, holds the unique distinction of working on the winning side of both teams. He also worked for Ken Brown when Europe won in 1985.There are more stories of Europeans who didnt work.Terry Holt of England worked for Paul Azinger in 1993, but chose not to go with him to the Ryder Cup at The Belfry. Dave Musgrove of England declined to work for Lee Janzen in 1997 at Valderrama, fearing a conflict in interest. He didnt want to be in a bad situation. People might wonder about his loyalties, Janzen said then.The most recent example was Andy Sutton, the English caddie whom Ben Curtis hired when he won the British Open at Royal St. Georges. Curtis qualified for the Ryder Cup in 2008 at Valhalla, and Sutton didnt want to work for him that week.We had talked about it in the past and he said, `If you ever make the Ryder Cup, I cant work for you, Curtis said. When it came about, I remember saying to him, `Are you serious? He said: `I cant. Ill catch too much grief from the other European caddies. He decided it might be better for me to have someone else.Curtis hired Tony Navarro for the week. He said years later, Sutton regretted not working for him at the Ryder Cup.Whats in store for Elliott?I have no worries about him, said John Wood, who caddies for Matt Kuchar and will be working at his sixth Ryder Cup. There might be some out there I would be concerned about, but not Ricky. I think hell jump right into the feel of the team and be part of it. I think it would be difficult if you had somebody who had been on a European Ryder Cup team and then came into the U.S. room. But for Ricky, it will be a fresh experience for him.There have been examples of American caddies working for European players in the Ryder Cup -- Jerry Higginbotham for Sergio Garcia in 1999, and Lance Ten Broeck for Jesper Parnevik in 1999 and 2002.It was kind of weird in the beginning, Ten Broeck said. I remember I was kind of concerned about doing it, but the more I spoke to Hal Sutton, he said: `Why wouldnt you do it? Thats who you work for. And I spoke to Jesper about it a long time. This is a golf match, not a war. And its one of the great experiences.Elliott played college golf at Toledo, competing against Curtis at Kent State, and stayed in America. He lives in Florida near Graeme McDowell, one of his best friends from Portrush, and decided last year to become a U.S. citizen.I had to say a sentence in English and I had to spell a word, and I just squeaked by that, Elliott said in his sing-song Irish lilt. There was about 80 of us in the room and 2,000 people had come to watch. I was there on my own, sitting beside a wee Chinese man waving the flag. It was cool. Ive spent half my life over here. Youre still always where youre from, but Im pleased as punch to be an American citizen.Elliott was trying to find a golf pro job during the economic downturn in 2008 when he caddied for Maarten Lafeber on the European Tour, and then Curtis. He was between jobs when Koepka, who began his career on the European Tour, received an exemption to the 2013 PGA Championship and his regular caddie had visa problems.First time I ever met him was on the range at the PGA, Elliott said. Hes striping these shots and Im like, `Happy days. I was still in Europe, but you know what its like when you see a good player. He made the cut that week, played with Tiger (Woods) on Sunday and said to me in the locker room, `Do you fancy doing a few in Europe?Theyve been together ever since. Koepka won in Turkey in 2014 and won the Phoenix Open the following year. He is No. 22 in the world, playing in his first Ryder Cup. He never thought twice about having anyone but Elliott on his bag.Elliott never considered sitting out.The caddie lives at Lake Nona in Orlando, home to some of Europes finest in the Ryder Cup over the years -- McDowell, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Henrik Stenson.It will be fun for Ricky, said Curtis, who used to live at Lake Nona and won his most recent event with Elliott on the bag. Once you get into it, its the same as when youre playing against one of your good friends in the final round. You want to beat them. And this will be the same thing. Fake Yeezy .

CYPRESS, Calif. -- Mastery won the $300,000 Los Alamitos CashCall Futurity by 7-1/4 lengths Saturday in his first start around two turns.His status among prospects for the 2017 Triple Crown is equally significant.Mastery is unbeaten after three starts. Ridden by Mike Smith, Mastery ($2.40) disputed the early pace and pulled away in the final furlong, finishing 1-1/16 miles in a quick 1:41.56.It looked like he handled it pretty well, trainer Bob Baffert said. I was impressed with the way he kicked on.The margin was the widest in the 36-year history of the Grade 1 race, surpassing the seven-length margin by Matty G at Hollywood Park in 1995.The win gave Baffert a record ninth win in the race -- six at Hollywood Park, which closed in 2013, when the race was known as the Hollywood Futurity or CashCall Futurity -- and all three runnings since the race was renamed and transferred to Los Alamitos in 2014.Mastery was a massive favorite against four rivals, his reputation established with convincing wins in a maiden race at Santa Anita on Oct. 22 and the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes at seven furlongs at Del Mar on Nov. 19.After a clean start, Smith had Mastery in second for the first six furlongs, closely tracking pacesetter Bobby Abu Dhabi, a 7-1 shot who set early fractions of 23.37 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and 45.65 for a half-mile. Mastery raced outside of Bobby Abu Dhabi and took the lead with less than three furlongs to go. Smith urged Mastery early in the stretch and got a quick response, but only after the colt appeared to pause for a few strides.He started looking around a little when he made the front in the stretch, but after I gave him a reminder he rebroke and was strong, Smith said.Baffert noticed that Mastery appeared to waitt on his rivals in early stretch before pulling clear.ddddddddddddHe looked like he hit a little lull, Baffert said.Mastery was fitted with blinkers for the Los Alamitos Futurity. He wore them in his maiden race win, but not in the Bob Hope Stakes.Baffert did not state any race plans for Mastery in early 2017. The colt, by Candy Ride, races for Everett Dobsons Cheyenne Stables. Mastery was purchased for $425,000 at the 2015 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.Irap, a maiden who was the 23-1 longest shot in the field, closed from fourth to finish second, 5-3/4 lengths in front of 11-1 Dangerfield. Bobby Abu Dhabi faded to finish fourth, followed by the Baffert-trained Show Me Da Lute.Doug ONeill trains Irap and Dangerfield. He said Iraps performance was a surprise. Irap, by Tiznow, was third and fourth in his first two races.Were happy, ONeill said. We need to digest that. We thought we were helping to fill a Grade 1 in our backyard. Hes got the pedigree and he exceeded our expectations.Dangerfield, by Into Mischief, won the minor Oak Tree Juvenile Stakes at Pleasanton on Oct. 1 in his fourth start and was third in the Grade 3 Delta Jackpot Stakes, a $1 million race in Louisiana on Nov. 18. Drayden Van Dyke rode Dangerfield for the first time in the Los Alamitos Futurity, and told ONeill the race was a learning experience.Drayden said if he could do it all over again he wouldnt have left him with so much to do, ONeill said. He kept coming.ONeill suggested Dangerfield could appear in a Triple Crown prep race throughout the nation in 2017.Hes mentally sound and physically sound, ONeill said. Hes shown he can ship. ' ' '
