What the players are saying ahead of the 41st Ryder Cup
Published:
The 41st Ryder Cup is almost upon us, and we’re set for a thrilling three days of golfing action between the best America and Europe have to offer.
Europe have won eight of the last 10 contests, but the USA – on home soil at Hazeltine – are desperate to reclaim the upper hand.
American captain Davis Love III has assembled one of the strongest USA squads for years, while Darren Clarke has welcomed four rookies to feature alongside Ryder Cup regulars Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia.
Here’s what the players are saying before the action gets underway on Friday…
