Although the golf public is talking about Keegan Bradley, the captain of the U.S. team, it seems that the European public is equally devoted to Luke Donald, the captain of the European team.
Luke Donald is aware that he has quality golfers at his disposal, but he will face the same challenge as Keegan Bradley, as he will have to select six players who can further strengthen his squad.
It is already certain that Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood will be in the team, and the names of the remaining participants will be equally interesting.
Famous faces of the golf scene commented on Donald's selections, and one of them was Ryan Lavner.

Lavner isn't sure what kind of decisions Luke Donald will make, but he highlights three players in particular that he believes Donald needs to keep a close eye on.
If youre Luke Donald, I think you have to be keeping a close eye on three players in particular. One is Thomas Detry whose win, beating a pretty stout field at the Phoenix Open in February, seems like a long time ago, but he is in the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings. Hes playing this week at the BMW Championship. Harry Hall who is also, like Thomas Detry, inside the top 50 playing this week at the BMW, hes the number one putter on the PGA Tour. He has the most top 10 of any of these would be contenders on the PGA Tour. And again, among the top 50.

And I think a player like Matt Wallace who narrowly missed out being a pick back in 2018, former winner on the PGA Tour, didnt have the most consistent season on the PGA Tour, but hes also supported the DP World Tour. Lets say he has a good performance next week at the British Masters, he seems like a player potentially who could steal that 12th and final spot. But it does seem most likely that Lukes just going to run it back with one of the Hojgaards.- he said, as quoted by Golf Magic.
Sweet torment
Luke Donald is aware that he will have a difficult task, but it is equally "sweet torment".
Namely, the Europeans have a strong team like never before, and the leader of this team will certainly be Rory McIlroy, who expects his team to be able to celebrate on the away court, which is a feat few can boast of.
