The European team has serious ambitions for this year's Ryder Cup. Luke Donald wants to have players who are experienced, but also talented golfers with the potential to bring additional freshness. Among the names is Justin Rose, an experienced Englishman who has shown for years how dominant a figure he is in the golf scene. Some label him as the leader of this generation, but Rose does not see himself as such.
In his interviews with the media, he often emphasizes how important this competition is to him, and he confirmed that he is quite delighted he will have place in the team this year as well.
Winning in America will be a serious challenge, considering that in previous editions we have rarely seen a victory for the visiting team.
While some suggest that the audience could be a big tailwind for the Americans, Rose is not sure that will be the case.
The experienced golfer knows that the audience can be an important factor for the hosts, but if the Europeans are dominant, it will certainly silence the American fans and make things easier for the European team.
I think Medinah is the only one in recent years we can draw off in terms of experience. Home advantage has been so big in recent times and I think since 2006, except Medinah, and to be honest we were getting hammered for most of the week but the thing is the team is resilient, Rose said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
The crowd is a big factor but you know, as soon as you get some momentum going the crowd go quiet. Weve just got to get to the tipping point where we get to the point where we are basically in control of that feeling come the Sunday.
Who will celebrate?
If these two teams were to be compared, it can be said that both have talented world-class golfers at their disposal. Some give a slight edge to the Americans, mostly because of Scottie Scheffler, who has been incredible the last two seasons and seems like a golfer that nobody can stop right now.
In any case, there are still a few weeks left until the start of this prestigious competition, and fans are impatiently waiting for one of the biggest golf events in the world.
