Party Animals
Kevin Kisner still can't get over what Jim Furyk did on the American's party bus

The U.S. had plenty of strong individual performances during their latest win rout at the Presidents Cup. But it turns out the best one came after on the party bus. And from a surprising source.
Assistant capatain Kevin Kisner joined The Smylie Show to discuss a productive—and fun—week in Canada for the Americans that included him having to pay off a bet with Max Homa by taking off his shirt. Good times. That sounds like it was nothing, however, to what Jim Furyk did in a hoodie following the victory.
According to Kis, the U.S. captain got involved in everyone taking turns picking a song during the long ride back to the team hotel. But Furyk got extra involved, rapping and dancing to Eminem's "Lose Yourself." Yep, we're talking about the same Jim Furyk that you're thinking of.
"We get back to the team room at the course, everybody's partying, raising Cain, but the bus ride's like a 45-minute drive," Kisner tells Kaufman. "So you're kind of worried, like, man, the vibe's gonna go down, right? We gotta sit on a bus? Well, if anywhere was the biggest party, it was the bus.
"Got a DJ at the front of the bus," Kisner continues. "Everybody gets to pick a song, right? And then you get up and sing it. At the end, Jim Furyk picks "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, puts his hood up, and dances freestyle down the aisle and high-fives every person on the bus as we pull into the hotel. So, what an ending."
Again, we're talking about Jim Furyk. One of the game's edler STATESMEN. That's just great leadership right there.
Anyway, what a tale from Kisner and what a great effort by Furyk. We can only hope that someone recorded it all.
