Masters champion Rory McIlroy says he “loves” the European team chosen by captain Luke Donald for this month’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, praising its continuity with just one change from the side that beat the U.S. two years ago.
The world number two believes the squad is stronger and more accomplished than in 2022, while acknowledging the challenge of winning away from home.
Drawing inspiration from Novak Djokovic’s ability to handle hostile crowds, McIlroy said Europe must channel the energy of the pro-American atmosphere.
Preparing through the Irish Open and BMW PGA Championship, McIlroy expects the high-pressure build-up to sharpen his game ahead of his eighth Ryder Cup.
