“No pressure on me, I’m not a big golfer,” Ryans said. “It’s definitely fun for me to be out here supporting the Houston Texans foundation and all the great work they do in the community, supporting the kids in Houston. It’s outstanding work. Just happy to get out of the office, swing the clubs a little bit and have a little fun.”
