Richard Bland appeared to be a little bit overcome with emotion after the first day of LIV Golf's $50m team championship in Miami

Perhaps it's something in the water. Perhaps Bland has taken inspiration from Brooks Koepka after he won in Jeddah. 

But Bland, 49, looked as if he was on the verge of tears as he was being interviewed by Troy Mullins greenside with Graeme McDowell.

McDowell - who has admitted it took him a couple of months to deal with the fallout after joining LIV - watched on as Bland said:

"It's just brilliant. When you've got this guy by your side, he's just clutch. So, Laurie [Canter], we want Laurie on this team next year. 
"He's just...man I'm a bit emotional right now." 

McDowell took over and said: 

"Like Richard said, just to be part of this team and format. We knew this was going to be something special, but as the weeks built up this format just captures the imagination of all the players. 
"The players are so much more into this team stuff than anyone out there watching even realises."

Bland is no stranger to showing his emotions. 

In case you're reading this and not familiar with the Englishman, he memorably captured the hearts and minds of golf fans in May 2021. 

That was when he won his very first tournament on the European Tour at the 478th attempt at the British Masters at The Belfry.

A year later he confirmed he had requested a release from the DP World Tour to play in LIV Golf's first event, which was denied. 

Bland has now played in every LIV Golf tournament of their inaugural season. He said he couldn't ignore the offer. 

Although he did make this stunning claim about DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley.
