The decision of Luke Donald, the captain of the European national team, regarding the six captain's picks was long awaited. The captain of the European team knew that he had a difficult and serious task ahead of him to choose the best six, who, together with the six golfers who already secured a place with points, will represent Europe at Bethpage Black.
The six players who have already qualified for the team include Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Tyrrell Hatton and Rasmus Hjgaard.
However, Luke Donald yesterday confirmed his decision regarding the captain's six picks, which will be Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry, Viktor Hovland, Sepp Straka, Ludvig berg and Matt Fitzpatrick.
The public has mixed emotions about the captain's six picks, and the most attention was drawn to Sepp Straka, a golfer who many did not see as a safe pick due to his fluctuating form.

Some expected Donald to give Harry Hall or Rasmus Hjgaard's brother Nicolai Hjgaard a chance, but it seems he had reasons for his decision.
The choice of the remaining ones did not surprise many, considering that most of them have serious experience in this tournament and will definitely be an important addition to this team.
Will the European team be able to win this time on a much more difficult field? Time will give the best answer.
It is not easy to deal with the support of the visiting crowd, who will undoubtedly be with the Americans from the first day to the last.
Who will celebrate?
Immediately after Luke Donald's decision, there were reactions from analysts and experts from the golf scene who had interesting comments. Most emphasized that this team could really do great things and that this is a strong roster that has potential.

The leader of this generation will be Rory McIlroy, just like two years ago in Rome when they managed to win the trophy with a great game. They are aware that a serious opponent awaits them, but their confidence seems to be at its peak.
