There are still a few weeks left until the start of the Ryder Cup, and there is already a lot of talk about the choices of captain Luke Donald, as well as about the first six players who will form the foundation of this team.
They include Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Bob MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton and Rasmus Hojgaard.
With this strong roster, the team seems to have a good prospect for success, but everyone is aware that they have a serious team in front of them led by Scottie Scheffler.
Luke Donald will pick his six additional players in a few days, and it will be interesting to see who will further strengthen the squad.
Justin Rose could be an important element of the European team, given his experience, but also his outstanding moments this year.

The public is interested in his role in this competition, and the English golfer still seems uncertain about his role in the team.
The important thing is that the team will be balanced with young and experienced players, and such a balance could be a winning formula.
Chemistry and harmony in the team will also be of a huge importance, and if these two factors are present, there is no doubt that the Europeans can cause serious problems for the American team.
"I don't know what my role will be, to be honest with you," said Rose, as quoted by Golf Magic.
"This could be a very balanced team, a very experienced team, so there might be less requirements in terms of the rookies and things like that.
Obviously, in an away Ryder Cup, we're going to need a steady pair of hands all over. I think we're going to all be looking to each other."

Justin Rose: I think my game is probably in a better spot than it was in Rome
The experienced golfer is ready to give his all to help the Europeans make a huge success. Celebrating on the away field is a feat they've dreamed about for years, but never managed to take such a big step. Will something change this year?
Justin Rose believes that it is very important that he is in much better shape than he was in Rome two years ago. The European team then showed superiority against the Americans, but they are aware that this time they have a much more difficult task.
American golfers are equally in good shape, and the support of the home crowd can guarantee the success of this team, led by Keegan Bradley.

"There's going to be a lot of solidarity required. So just leading by example, again, as best you can and obviously earning points.
"I think my game is probably in a better spot than it was in Rome. So there might be different requirements asked of me - I'm not sure.
"Last time I only played the two fourballs and the singles, so I'd like to get out a little bit more than that - if possible - this time around."
